YET ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT HE CAN'T AFFORD:

Kerry rebuffs Venezuela's Chavez (Reuters, 3/22/04)

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has attacked Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez as a dubious democrat hostile to U.S. interests, delivering a slap in the face to the leftist leader who had portrayed Kerry as a potential friend.

The Kerry statement on his Web site made front-page news in Venezuela on Monday, nearly two weeks after Chavez had publicly praised the Democrat contender, hailing his health care plans and likening him to assassinated U.S. President John Kennedy.


No word yet on whether Daniel Ortega is going to support Mr. Kerry as the Senator supported him in the 80s.

Up next: Kerry says he'd never dance with Kim Jong Il like Madeline Albright did, and what's more, he disagrees with his economic policies, though only if the U.N. agrees.

If that isn't enough to get Kerry elected, I don't know what is....

It's too bad that Kerry is running away from his real inclinations. He should take Walter Cronkite's advice and embrace his true self. :)

Is anyone keeping a list of his endorsements?

Show me an anti-american and I'll show you a Kerry supporter.

Kerry needs to ask himself, "why do they like me?".
