John Kerry absolutely would be considered an influential and authoritative figure on who should be considered for the upcoming presidential election.  First off he was the democratic nominee for presidency in the 2004 election.  Americans are aware of who Senator John Kerry is and what he stands for due to his previous attempt to become the president in 2004.  Secondly he is currently the senior senator from Massachusetts he has been in the senate since 1985.  His political career actually began in 1972 when he initially ran for congress.  His extremely vast experience from a career of more than 40 years active in politics gives his opinion and insight a lot of credibility.  Third John Kerry is also a decorated Vietnam War veteran; he served a total of four years in the Naval Reserve.  Four months of that time was deployed as an officer in charge of a swift boat in South Vietnam.  While there he was awarded a silver star and three purple hearts.  The fact that he has been on the “Front Line” and has experienced combat himself also adds to his credibility as an authoritative speaker for the upcoming election.

  1. I agree with your opinion of John Kerry being an influential figure for the election. He has much experience and history in politics. We are aware of his standings and who he is and has played in America. He has put his heart and soul into America and is well known by all of the citizens. I think you made a good point of that.
