Why do I think John Kerry can win? Because he’s tall. The only two times in recent memory that a shorter candidate has won was Jimmy Carter in 1976 and George W. Bush in 2000. I will not even get into the debate about if W. actually won or not. In fact, the popular vote most likely went Al Gore at 6’1”. Of course, being shorter, W. had friends in low places that put a stop to the vote counting. So, if you had to bet today, bet John Kerry will take this election. It has little to do with who is the better candidate and more to do with who is taller. How's the weather up there?
