Not sure why you're fighting this one out, John. Yes, maybe they would be. The doctors I'm thinking of met Kerry at: 1) A Hospital (where they practiced) and 2) On the street in Boston Other people met him in similar settings. Now, to be fair, the people who met him in political situations had the same feeling - it seems to be rather a general feeling about the "haughty, French-looking Senator from Massachusetts who by the way served in Vietnam." Honestly, John, I can't imagine how a politically active person in Maryland could have _avoided_ meeting your Congressman. I've run into Connie Morella (my old Congresswoman) more times than I can count, and _none_ of those times were at political functions, nor is my family in the least wealthy, influential, or politically active. I'd be shocked if either of my parents had ever donated to _any_ political campaign, and they've certainly never attended any political events. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
