10. Wade WAS John Kerry's spokesperson for the 2004 campaign

- and Obama thought enough of him he made him the then not named VP nominee's spokesperson. By the way, Stephanie Cutter, now the hero of the week, was Kerry's communication person - and was routinely criticized by people on DU (on the left) and the Clinton people. The fact is that both are very good and both learned a LOT from 2004.

As Mass already points out, the Obama team is quite openly giving Kerry important POLITICAL assignments - along with the unusual foreign policy assignments.

The fact is that Romney's attempt to use Kerry resulted in two big failures - the first when his people were repeatedly corrected that Kerry released 20 years -- then absolute derision for trying to equate his own situation to Teresa's.
