That's a cute keychain.

Calling MeFi Kerry insiders: look at this picture. Can anyone explain to me why John Kerry has what appears to be a large plastic daisy flower keychain? It's kinda cute.

(Mirror in case Yahoo News expires the photo.)

The answer to 'why' is probably to make the zipper on his jacket big enough to grab wearing gloves.

Why he chose a giant daisy is a different question... ;)

"Daisy ad" commentary or reminder?

I bet that it is Sun Valley's lift pass.

Machaus had a great theory, so I called around in Sun Valley,. Unfortunately, none of the resorts use the daisy as a lift pass, or as promotional schwag, so the mystery continues...

he's a snowboarder and a windsurfer ... even if he's a little light in the trousers - thats good enough for me.

Does the Daisy have a face, seeds or writing on it? In the photo can see some black dotting on the reddish bud part of the daisy.

I'm thinking it's the pulltab that came with the vest...or he's going for the japanese teen girl "kawaii" vote : >

it's a zipper pull so he can unzip his coat with gloves on.

I'll bet he's a Bob the Angry Flower fan.
