It struck me the first time I saw Kerry with the LiveStrong band that there would never be a good time for him to stop wearing it. He couldn't possibly take it off, now, before the election. ("So, what? You don't support cancer research anymore?")
Bush would probably have liked to sport one of the bands... given his relationship with LA, and the Texan Connection. But as much as JK can't take his off, W can't put one on. Think dubya wants to appear like he wants to look like Kerry?
For the record: You know Kerry's a cancer survivor, right? I think it's flippant, as well as egotistical, to suggest he's pandering to cyclists. The LiveStrong campaign is not about cycling.
