How tall are Kerry and Edwards?

[rumguy]

Kerry must be over six feet.

[ModerateMiddle]

1. 6' 4"

I'm not sure how tall John Edwards is.

[woofless]

2. Twelve foot-seven.

[FeelinGarfunkelly]

3. Kerry = Tall as Lincoln

John Kerry is 6'4" and John Edwards is 6'.

The others in the field:
Clark = 5'10"
Sharpton = 5'10"
Dean = 5'8-3/4".. (he's a doctor, so very precise about this)
Kucinich = 5'7" (same as Hillary!)


The opposition:
Bush = 5'11"
Cheney = 5'10"

History has it that the taller candidate always wins the popular vote.... could be good news for either Kerry or Edwards.

4. bush pads his shoes

to make him appear taller than he actually is. he did this during the debates with al gore.

6. big surprise there.. inferiority complex? eom

[rumguy]

7. seriously?

He'd have to wear platforms to match Kerry.

8. this is why bush wanted sit down debates

during negotiations over the debates bush's objections were based mostly on not wanting to appear too close to al gore which would make the height difference very clear.

9. If he did Laura would have to teach him how to walk...again..

He'd probably break an ankle or something.. heehehee..

Bush's injuries in the White House:
1)Pretzel attack to trachea
2)Injured knees from various.. um.. knee-related actions involving his keeper Karl Rove..
3)Pulls a Gerald Ford in platforms! oh that would be hilarious to see..

5 professional consultants critique the candidates.

12. It's pretty sad that people seriously vote on the basis of height.

Probably another reason why kerry is supposedly more electable than dean - he's taller! Sheesh. Why don't we just elect the captain of the footbal team...

13. Edwards when I met him, I would guess about 5'10.5"

A tiny bit taller than my wife, but shorter than me... 6'1"

[ShaneGR]

14. Edwards is 6' tall

I'm 6'2", he was nearly eye-to eye with me when I met him.
