<<I'm going to release the video "Kerry Gone Wild" and let everybody see the wild and crazy side" he said. A few minutes later, he concluded: "I'm just going to be me.">>

1. I agree

I think people want a serious president, and one of Bush's liabilities is he that he doesn't appear to have grown in the job.

7. ..not to worry when your running against a frat boy slacker.

2. Kerry's hair is more like Elvis's

Than any of the other candidates, don't you agree? :)

3. Sharpton's hair is closer...

to the postage stamp Elvis.

4. Captain Tuttle?

Is that you? I thought you jumped out of a helicopter without your parachute back in Korea...

[Tuttle]

8. ???

I don't get the reference but, no, different Tuttle (think 'Brazil' DeNiro)

5. I don't get it - where is 'Elvis' alluded to in the article?

6. Never minf, I finished the article now and see the reference

9. Maybe after

everything we've been through in the last three years, the Elvis wont' be an issue. It shouldn't be. Why do some Americans feel the need to have a president that's going to entertain them?

11. Bread and Circuses

Minus the bread of course...SROP (Standard Republican Operating Procedure).

12. I think people want a sane, dependable adult

We have had enough of an entertainer/frat boy moron. The Ship of State has been bouncing dangerously all over the waves. People want a steady hand at the helm. Even if people find they don't fully agree with every policy, they will feel safer with Kerry. The craziness of Bush comes out again as the story of a US coup in Haiti grows. Iraq redux. I don't think the Elvis factor is as big this time around, though depending on circumstances, it could hit Kerry hard in 4 years.
