Baseball fans are white urbanites right? How can a sport that is so dominated by wealthy owners like George W.

For what it's worth, Kerry's been a Bostonian for some 40 years now, and a politician there for 22 years, and his kids have been grown up for several years now -- so his connection to the Red Sox may be more about prior history than following it during the last 2 seasons of heavy campaigning. Then, of course, there's the Ben Affleck connection. According to recent reports, Ben Affleck has been stumping all over the place for Kerry, and he gave Kerry his seats on the "unannounced" visit. Kerry also had a homecoming of sorts to Boston as a "favorite son" which makes a certain obeisance to the Red Sox de rigueur.The Law Talking Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886791396468512490noreply@blogger.com
