I realize you weren't referring specifically to Kerry, but I used him - in the two examples I provided - because his name has been <a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=22&k=front%20page" onmouseover="window.status='<a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=22&k=front%20page" onmouseover="window.status='front page'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">front page</a>'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">front page</a> fodder as of late, specifically due to his elitist slip last week. Kerry pretty much epitomizes the detachment from middle America with which the modern Democrat party is faced -- the same detachment which has cost them the last two presidential elections.
The odd thing about it is that Kerry's IQ is reported to be only 120, per military admissions testing. (

poor, per se. But it is certainly nowhere near what many in the public might have surmised, given the preening way in which he carries himself.
An odd thing to note here is that published Yale academic records of both GWB and Kerry show their GPAs to be virtually identical. (see same article as above) And Bush's IQ is reportedly
higher than Kerry's.
For Kerry to continue his arrogant posturing in the face of this borders on complete and utter folly. One would think a little humility might make him much more appealing as a candidate for president. Apparently he's not smart enough to figure that out for himself.
