and that is also unfortunate that they are linking Rmoney to Gore. Gore like Kerry is a decent person with integrity, but they were not extroverted and had average to below average campaigns as Clinton and Obama, they are written off as losers, or other cold adjectives.
You can post otherwise, but still people will not see that.
Also think that this is one advantage the Dem president has now with social media and being engaged in pop culture (i.e. music, sports, etc.)
The Philly cheesesteak vs swiss cheese thing seemed silly, just like that Green Tea thing. Like nothing else matters. 
Should not have posted that article from "The Root," since the author semi-dissed Obama and praised Palin. TR (The Grio is another) that focuses on urban community issues and offers perspectives from both sides of the aisle. Councilwoman Ayanna Pressley made The Root 100 list and "Basic Black," one of the urban talk shows in Boston collaborates with them a lot. IMO, that article makes the Senator look really bad because Dems (not all Clintonistas, but some Obama supporters), liberals/progresives have said the same thing.
Agree with your comments on Rmoney and Edwards. Though will add that Mr. Wade had to once again, defend the Kerrys on Twitter (from a AA person) from the Heinz stock being donated to the GOP. It's great that they are doing things for the little people, and hope they will be seen as people are not about the money, but care.
However, when the list came out about the 20 richest members of Congress, the pols (though Kerry was not mention by name) on there were just written off as nothing. And these tweets were coming from people (some celebs) that support Obama. (Like the Senator does not do enough to support Obama )
Rmoney already said he does not care about the poor and likes firing people. That is why the Senator and those closest to him need to keep saying that he is nothing like him loud over and over.
We all hear that, but the non pol junkies, Dems, liberals/progressives do not. It also may be time to just admit the K campaign dropped the ball on the Swifties and move on. All the links and facts to prove otherwise do not matter anymore. The Senator took full reponsibility for that. Wade admits it above too. And there is nothing the Senator can do about that.
This may not be in line with what everyone is saying in this thread, but it's JMHO.
Will go check out the thread on religion, though it seems to be overlooked because of the Senate race in MA.
