[WillyT]

That just rocks!!!

:yourock:

Way ta go Sen. Kerry!!!

:kick:

[TheDonkey]

1. Cleland = American hero (nt)

[Ilsa]

2. Kerry is a great man.

He doesn't mind sharing the attention. I like him and deeply respect him.

[hlthe2b]

7. I missed that, but just the thought makes me weepy...

I can't begin to state how much respect I have for Cleland and how mortified I remain that Georgians were swayed by that horrendous attack on his patriotism. But, I digress.....

Good for Kerry. He'll surely have many military supporters.

[question everything]

3. Yes, just noticed. Also grateful for Jeff Greenfield's comment

about how Cleland was defeted by nasty campaign using the images of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein - for those who were offended by the link of Bush and Hitler.

[Catch22Dem]

4. Was anyone watching CNN when they showed Cleland?

Who was the guy who brought up the 02 race? He actually sounded like it was a bit disgusted by Chambliss' bullshit ads.

ON EDIT: thanks "question_everything" for the answer.

[Fenris]

5. Cleland for VP?

Eh? Eh? Not a bad idea...

[hlthe2b]

9. That would be interesting....

Nice too, to have a handicapped veteran hold the office of VP...Really nice precedent (purposely ignoring FDR, since he was not known by the public at the time to be wheelchair-bound).

[Feanorcurufinwe]

10. Cleland would be awesome for VP

yes, they smeared him in Georgia -- could they do it again on a national level? I don't think so. A Kerry/Cleland and AWOL trying to make national security the issue?

[Frances]

6. I like Cleland too

I'm pretty sure that I met Max when he was a good-looking teen. Can anyone find out if he was a lifeguard in high school?

Was the veteran vote important to Kerry's success?

[Feanorcurufinwe]

12. I know the veteran EFFORT

has been a big help on the organizational and campaign side. Did that translate into bodies at the caucuses, I'm only guessing it had to... they apparently don't do exit polls at the caucuses so I don't know if we'll get that kind of breakdown.

[sandnsea]

18. I saw a breakdown

I don't exactly know where the numbers come from, entry or exit. Kerry got the senior vote, not Gephardt, which they figure may have been vets. Kerry got the union vote. Kerry got the vote in at least two college towns. Kerry got the vote, like he always does.

[Democrats unite]

8. It justs gets better & better.

eom

[RobertSeattle]

11. I hope he gets brought out a lot

Keep reminding people how Nasty the Repubs will run a campaign - smearing a great American like Cleland.

[salinen]

13. I love saying this

Saxby Chambliss is a pigfucker.

[mitchum]

15. only with drunk ones...

even pigs have standards

[PopSixSquish]

16. Having Just Moved to Georgia...

it will be my esteemed pleasure to work for the pigfucker's opponent next time.

[adadem]

17. He will

burn in hell for what he did to Max Cleland.

[mitchum]

14. 2 Great Democrats!
