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. posted by brownpau to (10 comments total)

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... ;) posted by twine42 at 7:38 AM on March 25, 2004
I bet that it is Sun Valley's lift pass. posted by machaus at 8:03 AM on March 25, 2004
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... posted by headspace at 8:13 AM on March 25, 2004
he's a snowboarder and a windsurfer ... even if he's a little light in the trousers - thats good enough for me. posted by specialk420 at 8:18 AM on March 25, 2004
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. posted by thomcatspike at 10:00 AM on March 25, 2004
I'm thinking it's the pulltab that came with the vest...or he's going for the japanese teen girl "kawaii" vote : > posted by amberglow at 10:20 AM on March 25, 2004
it's a zipper pull so he can unzip his coat with gloves on. posted by hob at 11:51 AM on March 25, 2004
