I know the campaign has been in swing for quite some time now. But I want to take this moment to christen dear old John with a nickname. As I'm sure you've discerned from the title, it's "Wanna Be."
It's pretty self-explanatory ... John Kennedy is one big Wanna Be. First, he bought the website url "www.johnkennedy.com" from a memorabilia dealer that hawked products about the Kennedys (you know, the family from Massachusetts that produced two U.S. Senators and U.S. President) back in 2003 to use as his campaign websites. That's all good and fine, as his name is John Kennedy. What's not good and fine is that he left the original signature for his website up for 5 years. Why is that a big deal? Because when folks searched on Google for John Kennedy for Senate up until the last two months or so, they would find this:
"Wanna Be" wants so badly to be linked to the Kennedy name that he sent out flyers to African American voters in 2004 that stated:
"John Kennedy. . . Not just another election day Democrat! The Kennedy tradition! The Kennedy commitment!"
"Wanna Be" is also a wanna be big shot politician ... always seeking to run for other, more important elective offices rather than serve as a mere State Treasurer. After all, he's run for the following offices over the last 20 years:
Attorney General: 1991, 1995 and considered it in 2007
Governor: 2003, but dropped out to run for re-election as Treasurer
Senate: 2004, as a LIBERAL Democrat
Yep, John "Wanna Be" Kennedy ... coming to a town near you soon!
