them being too well fed is one of the reasons we have so many young girls with eating disorders. Both of the Bush girls look like healthy girls their age generally look. If they looked like Twiggy surely someone would comment on their concentration on their physical appearance rather than on the important things in life. These girls had nothing to say about who they have for a father. They've graduated from college, something I wish I had done. They've raised a little hell, flirted with the press, and played games getting away from the eyes of the secret service. What would any of us do were our fathers running for president? Probably campaign for him. I doubt his daughters see him as the public sees him. Even Nixon's family stood by him when he resigned. IMO we have ample ammunition against Bush to last past the election without bringing Laura or the daughters into it. If people only vote for John Kerry because they want Bush out the door then all John has to do is wait till the right moment when Bush says the wrong thing, the wrong way during the debates and then nail him to the wall. That should garner him the votes he needs from the undecideds.

It was discussed the other day that Kerry didn't come off very well on the Daily Show. That wasn't his fault. The format was comedy and it didn't leave much time for serious talk. I'd like to see him sit down with Charlie Rose if he hasn't already done that. A one on one with no commercial interruptions. Charlie lets people talk and doesn't say more than the guest, as so many interviewers do.
