A Petition is being circulated to request that John Kerry be removed form the Nov. ballots because he is ineligible for the Presidency, as defined by the 14th amendment.
see:
http://patriotpetitions.us/Kerry/

The 14th amendment:
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and vice-president ... having previously taken an oath ... to support the Constitution of the United States, [who has] engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof,

Kerry publically gave aid and comfort to North Vietnam while he was still in the Naval reserve, thus violating the Uniform code of military Justice..

Of course since he has never been convicted of treason, this is obviously way out of the mainstream, though given the recent released KGB documents calling the US antiwar movement The Soviet Union’s greatest success of the Cold War, one could certainly make a case against Kerry for given aid or comfort to the enemy.  Does the 14th amendment pertain to anything but the Civil War?  Does the 14th amendment require a criminal conviction?  It seems likely that should Kerry win he would face law suits to challenge his eligibility, which would have to be decided by the Supreme court.

Another reason to expect continued partisanship if Kerry is elected.

As to intelligence the following holds:
Como > Dean > Teresa > Cheney > Kerry > Edwards > Rumsfeld > Bush > Hannity
