About Kennedy - you might be right of course, that he was prompted to run, etc., and that the media downplayed his influence - maybe there was a piped piper strat - he would have most likely taken votes from both sides, I am not sure which more - I do think he is an honest person though - I have looked at his body language for a while now - and he comes across as honest - I do agree with him on all the major issue facing not only humanity but the world right now - of course, there are a number I don't - I don't think he wanted to endorse Trump -as VC said in an old post a few days ago - you could see it on his face when he came on stage, he was not happy to be there - I figure his thinking was that he could do a lot if he got into gov, and oversaw things - which is what we are being told he will be doing.

About the battleground states - yeah, I have heard the same thing. I just don't know enough about it to really say. But that is what a lot of people are saying - I think its all perception though, and has little to do with voting at all at this point - you just need the war for perception -but that is just my opinion.

Thanks!
