Mark Steyn on John Kerry:

"I’d written [him] off ever since last summer when he came to the Barge Inn in Woodsville and, in the strangest political entrance I’ve ever seen, walked through the door to cheers and flags and popping cameras and worked his way through the crowd pressing the flesh until he got to the men’s room, whereupon he went in, leaving the clapping and waving to just sort of peter out as we waited for him to emerge .."

and on John Edwards:

".. all his issues are weird trial-lawyer obsessions — you should have the right to sue your health insurer; credit card companies and mortgage lenders should have to explain their interest rates in bigger print. He sounds like he’s auditioning next year’s class action suits .. after a while, you begin to notice that while he’s got policies to address the fine print on your MasterCard statement, he’s got nothing to say about the great issues of the day.. In the crush as he was leaving, I asked him what he would do about Iraq.

‘We need to get the UN in there,’ he said.

‘But they were in there. They pulled out because it was too dangerous.’

‘We need to get Nato in there,’ he said.

‘But 21 out of the 34 countries with troops on the ground are, in fact, Nato members.’

‘Hey, that’s what I love about these town hall meetings,’ he said, shaking my hand. ‘You get to hear from the people.’
