Notice that David Thorne (Kerry's former brother-in-law) edited the book and is now helping run his campaign. The co-editor is George Butler. During the anti-war demos in Washington "Kerry spent some of his time at the Georgetown townhouse of his longtime friend George Butler, working the phones, trying to round up veterans. But the real problem was money. Kerry, who was not financially independent despite rumors to the contrary, was supposed to raise money to pay for buses that would transport the veterans." Butler is now a documentary film maker.
Thre GOP operations research folks should delve into the activities of Thorne and Butler as well. Birds of a feather flock together.
