Me too.  Let's do some simple math.

Kerry=Dukakis
Edwards=Clinton

Clinton=Winner
Dukakis=Loser

Edwards=Winner
Kerry=Loser

Liking the logic there Wink

Maybe it is a republican conspiracy, they are all voting for Kerry because they think he will lose (in the open primaries that is)

Kerry isn't like JFK, he isn't any way near as charismatic... Why don't you like JFK, Clinton or LBJ?

I like LBJ as well...
He was probably the second most influential president of the C20th (most influential was FDR), and is responsible for some great domestic policies.
Vietnam wasn't really his fault... the war started under the Kennedy administration and LBJ was tricked by his advisors into intensifying the war.
He has been made a scapegoat for something that wasn't his fault.

woah woah woah, Kennedy only sent in "advisors", he didn't send in actual soldiers, Kennedy wouldn't have turned it into a full out war in my opinion.....

LBJ was good for civil rights, but his foreign policy wasn't the best really if we are honest.

I will study his behaviour, I am reading Robert Dallek's biography of him at the moment but at the moment, I do believe JFK would not have sent in actual troops, he would have kept "advisors" there.

I know that they were technically soldiers, but they weren't sent there on the pretense of fighting an all out war, they were there to train the ARVN

I read that article, it says it is unclear how he would have acted, I personally think that he would have pulled out of Vietnam but under changing circumstances, it is impossible to say how he would have acted.

Have you read my prediction in history of what would have happened had Kennedy not been assassinated? I know it is highly unlikely, but it would have been nice, and people would still be interested in politics on a larger scale.....

It is in the History forum, I know it is pretty far-fetched, but would be a nice history.....
