For longtime DUers going through our fourth presidential primary

I voted on Friday with.........

baby blm

Her first vote for a president.

Geez....remember when she would sit on my lap and laugh at Monkey in a Man Suit pictures?

When Kerry announced in SC she was the youngest attendee and afterwards he cupped his giant hands and held her face as she just stared up at him with a huge smile.

Throughout the next year, when she saw him on TV she’d say, That’s John Kerry. He’s my best friend.”

Heh, some toddlers then loved a purple dinosaur named Barney, mine loved Democratic nominee John Kerry.

Time. Flies.

The good news is she’s as Blue as they come, so another Democratic voter waits in the wings.

during the Kerry-Dean "wars." You and I got into it often.

And there were some Clark people milling about, too.

Those were the days.

But after I got to learn about the amazing things he'd done I really came to respect him. Too bad he was the victim of yet another stolen election by the GOP (care of Ken Blackwell and Ohio).
