The notion of looking on at life has always been hateful to me. What am I if I am not a participant? In order to be, I must participate. ↗

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Clinton cost John Kerry more votes than he gained for him whenever they appeared together. Imagine being part of a crowd enraptured by the presence of Bill Clinton, and then having to listen to a speech by John Kerry! ↗
