So do you think Kerry called Vanessa and Alex today

[yvr girl]

and told them again how proud he was of them. Granted, they are older than the twins, but I can't imagine them ever putting on the same kind of display. Cate Edwards is 22 and she was so much more poised than the Bush girls.

I saw Vanessa on C-SPAN talking to high school students. She (and Chris Heinz) did a great job fielding policy questions.

1. Cate Edwards IS the same age as the twins and beats them by a mile

eom

[fujiyama]

5. Very true

and isn't one of Kerry's stepsons around that age as well?

Either way, all of them out classed the Bush twins by a mile.

11. no Cate is YOUNGER than the twins

2. no doubt! CNN Greenfield said he is sure whoever wrote the * twins' speech

"will be getting out the vote in Kodiac, Alaska"

3. I had been wondering if Dennis Miller wrote those jokes...

sounds just like his style. I can't stand him & kind of like the idea of his being shipped off to Alaska.

4. I hate to say this but

A good upbringing and good genetics beat poor upbringing and questionably bad genetics.

9. Might as well say it ...It's what I've been thinking...

it's a strong reflection on their respective fathers'.

8. That's a nice story. What a contrast between them and the twins.

[Cha]

10. That's so Sweet! ..and I do feel like

they are doing us Proud.

7. I think they make the Bush daughters seem younger on purpose

maybe to make the press keep off or make them more sympathetic or something?

I know they really ARE immature, but they didn't write their own shit last night (and I do mean shit). Somebody wrote that to make them seem 13.

[Cha]

12. A Democratic Operative?

[JohnKleeb]

13. I bet he is

Cate was great too, Cate is actually a year younger than the twins, and Cate was a proud sister, daughter, and a great speaker, oh I'd love to date a girl like that heh.
