The Athletic Candidates
Sports Illustrated a while back conducted a poll and most of those readers polled thought * was the better athlete, much to the consternation of the Managing Editor.

Kerry played soccer, hockey, lacrosse in school. He windsurfs, skis, cycles, etc. I've never done it but by all accounts, windsurfing is very hard.

Bush was a cheerleader at Andover, at the time an all male prep school. He runs, like he did on 9/11.

Who's the better athlete? Go figure.

1. On windsurfing
It's actually easy to get up on a board and glide across a nice calm lake. I've done it, so I guarantee it's easy.

Now, being GOOD at windsurfing and riding waves in strong winds, etc., THAT is hard!! JK does that kind of windsurfing, at 60.

5. Kerry also flies. He used to do stunt flying.
That takes nerves of steel.

Bush was afraid to land planes even after a million dollars worth of our tax dollars were spent training him.
