Gore For Pres, Teresa Kerry for First Lady: 2000 With a Twist

[WiseMen]

(Raya pinged me and asked why her original post was locked. I am guessing there was a misinterpretation on the original first sentence. Nothing inflamatory is intended by this post, unless Raya's still hankering for Gore is banned. I am going to repost it for her. Moderator, please tell me what’s the problem so I can fix)



ON A LIGHTER NOTE: Gore (2000) had Kerry on his "Short List" but chose Mr. Wrong (Lieberman). Could we redo it and have him choose a little better?

I have been comparing the Wives to see what other influences we could get into the White House with a DEM ticket. My conclusion: I agree with Al Sharpton -- Mrs. Kerry is the PARTY!!

Since Yesterday, Teresa Heinz Kerry has become the biggest topic within my activist "cell" in arguments over which Candidate to support.

I have myself lived in 4 different countries during my youth. Nothing compares to being raised and educated in the “Transnational” community for giving one a sense of the world which affects all ones ideas on global matters such as environmental policy, international law, war and peace?

Teresa’s life story, being born in Mozambique, studied in South Africa, worked in Europe, fluent in 5 language, immigrated into the American political establishment, MAKES HER THE PERFECT FIRST LADY in these times of global turmoil.

As ask my "Imagine America" friends: Which White House do you think is better able to renew relations with Old Europe, Russia and China:


Howard Dean and Judith Steinberg
Dennis Kucinich and Bachelorette No. 1

or

John Kerry and Teresa Heinz

The answer is obvious. Both progressives and Eisenhower Repubicans should agree
on this:

John and Teresa is an even better team for America than Hillary and Bill.


For C. David Heymann, author of “A Woman Name Jackie,” there is only one first-lady-in-waiting who could bring Jackie Kennedyesque style and glamour back to the White House. And that would be Teresa Heinz.

”I think she would return to the White House some of the glamour, culture and stateliness lost over the past decades,'' Heymann told the Track. ``She possesses many of the same qualities as Jackie - sophistication, a stately appearance, a flair for fashion and charm if she wishes to use it. And then, of course, there's all that money.'' And she can speak French!

I pesonally still wish the Party would Draft Al Gore at the convention, because I think Gore deserves the Presidency. Maybe we could do it with a TWIST.

Kerry turns to better half
By Eileen McNamara, 11/23/2003

MANCHESTER, N.H.

………………..

With her wild, flyaway hair and casual manner, she is the anti-Kerry, as comfortable in a Dominican barbershop as she is in the brown suede heels she wears on a walking tour of this city's small Latino neighborhood.


……

Her ease is so clearly a matter of temperament, not political calculation, that she disarms even those most prepared to dismiss her in this three-block enclave of bodegas, Latin restaurants, and gift shops.

"She better not come over here," says Gary Fisher, a jocular black man having his hair trimmed by Tomas Barrera, the proprietor of the six-chair establishment. "I support the man in the White House."

………

President Bush still has Fisher's vote, but Heinz Kerry has made an impression. "Smart," says Fisher. "Real," says Barrera, who, 21 years after emigrating from the Dominican Republic, has yet to become a citizen, let alone a voter.

Hector Velez, who owns Rincon Latino, a gift and music shop, says that kind of political passivity is yielding to more activism as the Latino population grows in this old mill city of 107,000 people. The 2000 Census put the Hispanic population at 6,000, but Velez, an unsuccessful candidate for alderman in 2001, thinks the real number is twice that.

1. I think it gives a favorable impression

when a man picks a strong confident woman as his partner. I give all the wives credit, Teresa is an admirable and interesting person. I think it's kind of cool that Dean's wife has a busy career as well.

5. Where Can I find more info on the wives? Any article on the topic?
