Perhaps it's the legacy of the father, or perhaps it's because John Kerry voted against the 1991 authorization to use force in Kuwait. Or it's because Bush Jr. got rid of Kuwait's worst enemy. Whatever the reason, the older population here is staunchly behind the President in Tuesday's election. If Kuwait were a state, it would be a Red state, through and through.
