A question for you

[Perugio]

Who ran for the Democratic nomination for President in 1992, apart from form Bill Clinton?
Was there a guy called Kerry/Kerrey involved? Who was he?

[Serconea]

There's a list here:

There was a Kerrey, a Bob Kerrey. He was from Nebraska, and like JK won medals in Vietnam. However, he got the Medal of Honour and lost a leg.

Thanks: very useful! Just curious.

I've always found US politics interesting: far more than UK politics!

[Perugio]

What happened to the other Kerrey?

[Boktavia II]

I looked, and Bob Kerrey is actually the commissioner of the commisssion to investigate terrorist attacks on the united states...the 9/11 commission, in other words. Before that, he was one of Nebraska's senators and before that he was the Nebraskan governor. He is also currently the president of New School University in New York City. I think this is the same kerrey that we're talking about here.

Speaking of past presidenal candidates and Kerry's, did you know that John Kerry was once Michael Dukakis's Lt. Gov. in Massachusetts? Dukakis was the 1998 Democratic candidate for President.

I got Kerry/Kerrey confused.
I remember Dukakis: not the world's strongest candidate!
I studied the 88 election in detail at school.

Speaking of did you knows:

Did you know that Richard Cheney was Secretary of Defense under Bush Senior?

[Perugio]

Yes- but only after John Tower was rejected by the Senate.
