I, too, wish there was more plain speaking on the part of Kerry or for that matter, politicians in general. He has nothing to lose by taking a risk and projecting who he is. Gosh, what a refreshing thought. While it is debatable that our citizenry has dumbed down in the last quarter century, (some days I believe it's true), the politicians consistenty treat us as if it were. With Bush, you know the devil you are dealing with, right or wrong, but Kerry, I don't know. Too connected to the Kennedys, maybe.
