Sen. Kerry, You've Got Some 'Splainin' To Do

Massachusetts' junior Senator is apparently clinging to the slim hope that he has a chance at the 2008 Democratic nomination for President. How else to explain his presence at the Iowa-Iowa State football game last weekend? Also, he's apparently changed his advisors for this run, as he's no longer leading with nuance and centrism in order to court the more politically-engaged, but rather choosing the unorthodox tactic of beer and funnels to corner the frat vote. Senator Kerry, you didn't need to go to Iowa, many of our lovely colleges (Northeastern and UMass, I'm looking at you) would have been more than happy to stage this photo-op with you. Why outsource?



For shame Sen. Kerry. BC had a home game last week, and you could have used their overtime victory against Brigham Young to boast that your local Catholic university had bested potential 2008 opponent Mitt Romney's Mormon school. If you were going to campaign at a football game, I dare say you'd have been better off at Chesnut Hill.
