Norwegians for Kerry!

[KurtNilsen]

All the political commentators in Norway have been jubilant today about the Kerry canditature. Much is made of his fighting persona. The Vietnam war experience. Kerry's father also spent some time in Norway during his diplomatic career.

Everyone agrees that a Kerry presidency will be incredibly important in healing the rifts between Europe and the USA. And no doubt, our political leaders would be MUCH more comfertable in meeting with Kerry than with President Bush.



on edit:

sorry. For my part, I am yet to be totally convinced yet. But, there doesn't seem to be any alternative. Good luck to you all.

[KurtNilsen]

Get the international version of my album... Just released I think in the US. It's quite good :-) Even, though Kelly Clarkson is a bit cuter than me. Better teeth anyways :-)

5. Jeg har svaert ved at tro, at mange derovre i Norge ikke skulle ku'

gennemskue en saadan kunstig politikker som Kerry. Han snakke samtidigt ude a begge sider a sin mund. Det bedste man kan sige om ham, er, han er mindre ondt end Bush.

[KurtNilsen]

6. så du min post før min edit?

9. Baade foer og efter -

det der, hvor du tilfoejede at du er endnu ikke overbevidst...

[KurtNilsen]

11. Bra. Jeg hadde muligens blitt banned,.

Jeg liker ikke Kerry. Han virker som en total opportunist. Tror det ikke blir noe særlig forskjell om han vinner eller Bush. Vil nesten at Bush vinner slik at demokratene kan ha en ordentlig progressive kandidat i 2008.

[RichM]

14. Ja, det er helt rigtigt. Forskellen paa de 2 er ikke saa tydeligt som man

ku' onske sig. Det er egentligt enormt skuffende, at demokraterne ikke ku' finde nogen bedre (ligesom Kucinich, f eks) paa denne omgang.

[KurtNilsen]

13. Men før stod det at jeg

håper Bush vinner valget. Men, har nok drukket for mange bayer i kveld :-) Ok, enough scandinavian language :-)

[RichM]

17. Ah - ja, maaske et paar for mange bayer, hvis man begynde at haabe

at Bush vinder. Saadan noget ville verden ikke overleve, er jeg bange for. // Men jeg ka' godt forstaa den foelelse du giver udtryk til. Jeg oplever den selv -- naesten.

[KurtNilsen]

7. btw. Danmark er deilig :-)

[RichM]

10. Det synes jeg ogsaa! (Aabenbart)

[KurtNilsen]

15. What's your danish connection?

[RichM]

16. Jeg boede i Koebenhavn i '75.

Byen var, for et stykke tid, ligesom mit andet hjemme.

I have family in various parts of Norway (Oslo, Bergen, Moss, Molde, Kongsberg, and I think all left but for a long time had family in the tiny mining town of Roros).
