Kerry Wins Over Jury. Remaining 295 Million Americans Still Unimpressed.
This made me laugh.
Give me a break. I suppose we're supposed to infer that because Kerry was good at schmoozing the poor saps who got stuck in jury duty, he would have made a better President. Never mind the fact that jury duty is the most mind-numbingly boring thing on Earth, and that the jurors were probably just happy to have a quasi-celebrity in the room with them.
I mean, I would hope that John Kerry would be able to win over the folks in the jury room. He is a career politician, after all. That's kind of what politicians do.
Of course, the Globe found the Bush voter on the jury who now has buyer's remorse after meeting Kerry in person.
Ms. Lovell obviously doesn't realize that Kerry's being nice to her and successfully collaborating with fellow jurors on a personal injury case does not mean that he is, as a result, the better man to be negotiating with the likes of Kim Jong-Il or prosecuting the War on Terror. Those are a bit more complicated.
For his part, Kerry seemed to enjoy himself a great deal, telling reporters at an impromptu (yeah, right) press conference that he had a lot of fun. He apparently even exchanged numbers with another juror so that they could go cycling together sometime in the future.
That makes sense.
As a Senator, he has the free time. It's not like he's the President or anything.

Cynthia Lovell, a registered Republican, voted for President Bush a year ago, but during 90 minutes behind closed doors with his rival, Senator John F. Kerry, yesterday, she had to admit he was a smart, down-to-earth guy.What is this, a campaign commercial?
Joe Wesolaski, who works for a brokerage firm, declined to say how he voted but emerged from the same closed-door session praising Kerry as a natural leader who was eager to hear everyone's point of view.
Kerry the presidential candidate may have been a loser. But Kerry the jury foreman appeared to be a winner.

Lovell was so impressed by the senator that she said she regrets voting for Bush.If that won't make you lose faith in your fellow citizens, nothing will.
