3. You are very welcome!

:D

2. Wow, Kerry looks so good.

I'm not sure if its botox and I don't care if it is, he looks younger and more energetic with every passing day.

He knows that the MAJORITY of America wants him to be our next president.

5. I think he looks great too!

:)

4. The second & fourth photos pretty much say it all.

You can read in these women's eyes what they're saying to Kerry.

"Please, please win this thing, Senator. I don't think I can take another 4 years of this."

7. Right on!

After seeing what Bush has done to the country in a few short years, I don't blame them! :)

9. Someone finally must have told him to smile more often, thank God.

He has an absolutely wonderful smile, but he smiled less than any politician in recent memory, and I was afraid he would continue not smiling.

10. (Insert lame botox joke about facial paralysis here.)

:eyes:

11. Botox

Besides, I thought the botox rumors were put to bed when he gave his nomination speech at the DNC and his face was glowing with sweat. Damn Drudge and his stupid smears.

12. he looks so good there

everytime i see these pics from different parts of the country i sense a sense of unity. people from the south to the midwest to the east, west etc all looking for someone to help them make their lives better .

15. I agree, he

looks wonderful. He is crazy about children and is so relaxed with them.

And when people come up to him like those two women, who look so beat up by life, almost Biblical images come to mind. Please don't think I'm a whackjob.

It's just that all these photos and the blogs reinforce my opinion that Kerry's campaign stops are a visceral, primal experience.

I barely remember Bobby's campaign, but Kerry's seems to be approaching that emotional pitch.

13. Thanks for posting! These photos are great!

[wicket]

19. You're welcome!

:D

14. he looks...

...presidential.

16. For stark contrast, a photo of * today on campaign trail looking perplexed

U.S. President George W. Bush makes a point about the economy during a campaign event at Eclipse Aviation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, August 11, 2004.

Ah, that's why he looks so perplexed--he's trying to explain how wonderful the bush economy is--how we've "turned the corner."

[hippiegranny]

18. it looks like that airplane nose is headed right for him...

...if only!

[sandnsea]

21. Yes George - Bin Laden Determined To Strike!!!

Hijack airplanes! Fly them into your fucking head! You STILL don't understand!?!

[Blue Gardener]

17. He really seems to love the children

The joy is real when he's around babies and tots, unlike Bush* who just uses babies as props for the photo ops. Saw the picture of Kerry holding the little puppy too, it was very cute. Bush* just drops his poor dog, that is when he can actually catch it and it isn't trying to run away from him.

20. And where were these gorgeous pictures taken?

Thanks, they're great!

On Edit~ Ah, Nevada..
