University of Colorado students pinpoint Kerry’s problem

Why has John Kerry’s bid for the presidency failed to catch fire? Is it his anemic legislative record? His cold demeanor? His pro-tax policies? His incoherent position on Iraq and foreign policy?

Nope. It’s his hair.

BOULDER - Is it John Kerry's Beatles-era haircut that doesn't appeal to students sporting today's shorter styles?

Howard Dean has short hair – be the Dean.

A waffle breakfast for the Massachusetts senator and Democratic president hopeful drew only about 10 people at the University of Colorado on Tuesday, even as several thousand rallied for political rival Howard Dean outside.

Ten people plus Kerry. Hey, they have enough for a football team!

The waffles were symbolic of what Kerry's supporters say is Dean's waffling on issues.

Brilliant.
