Told him to vote for the $87 billion dollars before he voted against it and then made sure that he didn't refer to Lambeau Field as Lambert Field. Oh and knowing some of the Red Sox players wouldn't hurt because I remember him naming ppl who hadn't been there in a few years. My point being not that baseball and football are more important, but that Kerry needed to be in touch with the ordinary Americans much more than he actually was. He seemed and still seems to have this mentality that politicians are on a higher level than the voters and that it's ok to say one thing and then another as if the audience won't catch on. President Bush was more like the common man and it showed on election day. He didn't over simplify economics or over complicate defense. Bush simply said what he meant and meant what he said and was constant on his positions. Kerry came across too as a walking contradiction that was out of touch with average families.
Are you telling me that there was nobody named Manny Ortiz that closed games and wore the number 9 for the Red Sox? Didn't he wave the ball fair?
