Brit Broadcasting Conservatism

It all happened yesterday, when Kerry stopped in the charming town of Mt. Horeb which is about 25 miles west of Madison Wisconsin. First of all, he stopped in the "Main Street Pub," which is located on, you guessed it, Main Street. He bought beers for the entire bar, and ordered a 10-ounce Leinenkugel beer for himself and a cheeseburger with the works.

Which brings up my first point. How many times have the wing-nuts gotten on some 'news' talk show and yammered about "who would Joe 6-pack from Main Street rather have a beer with?" Somehow, these idiots always say the answer is Bush, a man who never leaves his bubble of privilege and who supposedly doesn't drink!

However now that Kerry has had beers with small-town folks (on Main Street no less) we now know the real answer is John Kerry. The cover of our local papers today had photos of Kerry having his beer with locals, while watching part of the Packers game.

When Kerry was ready to leave town there was an interesting exchange that I have only read a full account of in the ABC Note. Here is partial extract from the Note:
"...As the Senator approached the open door of his idling motorcade, the young man above the pub called out from above, "What's the Packers score?...Without missing a beat, Kerry relayed the score as he had last known it in the Main Street Pub. The young man nodded in concurrence, gave a thumbs-up, and confirmed, "You got my vote."
