NOOOOOOO!!!!!
I can't think of another individual -- including Hillary Clinton -- who could be a less fitting running mate for a so-called "candidate of change" than John Frickin' Kerry!
This has got to be a joke. Right?
Best line:
Obama can do what he wants, but John Kerry seems like a really poor choice -- especially when Obam needs someone who would make him look more down-to-earth/less-elitist.

Best line:
Polls show many voters question Obama's foreign policy credentials to be a wartime president. As a decorated veteran and longtime member of the senate foreign relations committee, Kerry could fill that gap.Hmmm...that "decorated veteran and longtime member of the senate foreign relations committtee" did so well last time around, right? Against a non-veteran Republican.
Obama can do what he wants, but John Kerry seems like a really poor choice -- especially when Obam needs someone who would make him look more down-to-earth/less-elitist.

"Don't Tase Me, Bro!"...
...is this week's official slogan of Ragged Thots.
Meet Andrew Meyer, the UF student coralled with arguably extreme methods -- as he was questioning John Kerry. RT commenters have already begun the discussion of this incident in the previous post's thread. However, one question did pop in my head: Was Kerry conflicted over who's side he should be on?
On a serious point: Given that this guy decided to bum-rush the line and then dominate the Q&A, removing him from the proceedings might have been legitimate (thus putting aside the free-speech argument; at an open forum such as that, no one is guaranteed the opportunity to speak).
However, unless someone is clearly violent and a danger to the police, him/herself or others, there's no excuse for a Taser to be used. Meyer is a relatively big guy, but he didn't seem to pose that level of threat.
