In an alternate universe Kerry gives an interview:

EAST HAMPTON, NY (IP) -- Democratic Presidential nomineee John Kerry laughs when told that most voters don't realize that he served in Vietnam, winning three purple hearts, a bronze star, and a silver star.

"Why should they? That's several wars ago," Kerry laughs. "Old stuff. I'd much rather people be talking about my detailed plan to rebuild Iraq, using an oil trust mechanism that would give the Iraqi people a stake in reconstruction. That's why I focused on that in my acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention. What was I going to do, rehash events from 35 years ago?"

Now that's a candidate who'd be trying to get my vote. Might succeed, too.

Yep, I agree with you on every point on that one.

And the last, man, brings back memories. I'm fanatical about NOT belonging to any party, but California primaries let anybody vote, but only COUNT the votes from registered party members. Annoying. So I actually went and registered as a Republican just so I could vote in the primary for McCain over Bush.

And then they screwed up my registration, so it showed a different party. Sigh. I voted anyway, but damn, I was mad.
