2. Very cute.
Nice photos of the man. I wonder what's with the yellow band on his wrist?

4. Makes sense.
That makes sense. I heard Sheryl Crow was a Kerry supporter and she's dating Lance Armstrong. Thanks for clueing me in.

9. yes, but also Kerry had prostate cancer which he was able to get through
i think that's why he wears it especially. it probably gives him inspiration.

and crow did sing in wisconsin at a kerry rally. it might have been the one from where i posted the pics but i'm not sure. here is a pic of sheryl crow singing at one of his rallies in wisconsin:

5. I wear one too
I noticed it a few weeks ago.

I'm wearing mine for a woman who works with me who has leukemia, and for the dad of another co-worker who has lung cancer.

I suppose he's got one because of his own prostate cancer. Or maybe he knows someone else too. Kind of blows my mind that he started his campaign with that kind of surgery, and still has the strength to go like a bat outa hell.

Speaking of Lance Armstrong, my local conservative radio guy said something rude about him. What would the right wing have against Lance?

6. The yellow band means he's old enough to buy liquor in the venue

I used to get mad when I got "carded"--now I get mad when I don't!

7. Notice that the baby isn't crying
Every time you see * with a baby in his arms it's squalling it's head off.

8. That was the first thing I noticed
Well, that and the fact that Kerry appears to have at least held a child prior to this photograph. * always holds them like they are WMDs :)

13. Well I don't think we'll be hearing about HIS kids in the news
Kerry used to commute home on weekends to see his kids when they were young. The article I read said that was one of the reasons he didn't have alot of "good ol' boy network" contacts as a Senator, at least not at that time anyway.

Makes him a good dad in my book though.

16. you can also see it with how well he gets along with his step sons
even though they didn't grow up with him they still have become close. and of course they are all working hard campaigning for him.

14. It would be interesting
When the topic turns to that demographic of women who do not vote, to see side by side pictures of the candidates' interactions with children.
I also noticed that BABIES HATE *DIMWIT. He holds them insecurely and generally seems to creep them out...

WHOM would YOU rather have holding on to YOUR CHILD??? :shrug:

19. Exactly - it's not who would you like to have a beer with . . .
it's to whom would you entrust your child?

A man who can save the lives of pets or colleagues

or

15. I would bet it is more genuine than the shrub pics with babies.
Shrub doesn't get near any people unless he is forced to for photo-ops
