Now that John Kerry has announced John Edwards as his running mate, all global attention turns to KerryEdwards.com. But wait — is it owned by the Kerry campaign? The G.O.P.?
Nope: it’s owned by a fellow actually named Kerry Edwards, who happens to be a bailbondsman in Indianapolis. I’d imagine he’s fielding a few offers for the domain name right about now.
He bought it back in 2002, when a Kerry/Edwards ticket wasn’t on anyone’s mind.
This highlights another shamefully underreported element of the new Democratic pairing: It continues the Dem tradition of having tickets that could, in theory, be mistaken for a person’s name. If there’s a Gore Vidal, why couldn’t there be a Gore Lieberman somewhere in the Bronx? I could imagine meeting a Clinton Gore, somewhere in Kentucky. But Bush Cheney? Bush Quayle? Dole Kemp? Unlikely, all.
Okay, so Dukakis won’t pass Taylor and Madison on baby-names lists anytime soon. But my theory works perfectly from 1989 on. Perfectly.
