John Kerry rides in Colorado with Garmin -Chipotle director Jonathan Vaughters
Chugging along at a fair clip, about halfway up to Jamestown, he had dropped half the group and started asking me for ideas on how to improve some of the anti-doping legislation he has been working to introduce into the Senate. Of course I was so excited he had interest in this area, I spoke until I was blue in the face. And he just about dropped me. Conversation at 280 watts at 6500 ft is not the easiest thing for me, much less a 65 year old guy with a job like his.
…
John Kerry descended like he stole the friggin’ bike from the GOP. As we hit the first switchback, he immediately put his weight back, counter-steered, and carved the corner like a pro. He put three bike lengths on me like Magnus and Stuey used to do to me back on Credit Agricole. Unreal. This guy was a pilot on the bike. Down the switchback of Lee Hill and over 90 kph and he was not phased… one bit.
Next up Vaughters goes for a ride with Dick Cheney and ends up getting put in a stress position and shipped off to Guantanamo.

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008_____________ strategist _____________ said on Face The Nation Sunday that he expects presumptive _____________ nominee _____________ to choose a running mate based on political calculations, not the person’s readiness for the job.
"I think he’s going to make an intensely political choice, not a governing choice," _____________ said. "He’s going to view this through the prism of a candidate, not through the prism of president; that is to say, he’s going to pick somebody that he thinks will on the margin help him in a state like _____________ or _____________ or _____________. He’s not going to be thinking big and broad about the responsibilities of president."
_____________ singled out _____________ governor _____________, also a Face The Nation guest, as an example of such a pick.
"With all due respect again to Governor _____________, _____________’s been a governor for _____________ years, _____________’s been able but undistinguished," _____________ said. "I don’t think people could really name a big, important thing that _____________’s done. _____________ was mayor of the _____________ largest city in America."
_____________ continued: "So if he were to pick Governor _____________ it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I’m really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States? What I’m concerned about is, can he bring me the electoral votes of the state of _____________, the _____________ electoral votes in _____________?’"
