Kerry Edwards 2004: Because Parliament Loves a Well-Behaved John John!
Based on his reading of the “Transatlantic Trends 2004” poll results, Daniel Twining, director of the German Marshall Fund and former foreign policy adviser to Senator John McCain, concludes that, “when it comes to America’s role in the world, Democrats are hard to distinguish from Europeans” (Weekly Standard, Sept. 20; subscription only) The America of many Democratic voters is distinctly European in its preference for multilateral solutions, its desire to

Teresa Heinz Kerry talks in her sleep
THK: “Yes, God, you may have one serving of creme brule. But when you’re finished, I expect you to fix the polls in those odious battleground states, is that clear? Now off with you. Terry needs her me time.”
