Kerry reportedly met with Scott Camil while he was in Florida just last week. Of course Camil is supporting Kerry.

Hon, I followed some of the links posted at today's thread based on the New York Sun article. They said the Kerry campaign contacted Camil in Orlando last week, but he did not meet with Kerry personally. Do you know more? Or is that the extent at this point. I'm thinking it's mighty odd for even "just" the campaign to reach out to Camil.

I believe that Kerry and Camil were scheduled to meet, but the meeting didn't come off. If I was told why, I have forgotten. But it might have been a scheduling conflict.

Camil is already on record as backing Kerry. He had voted for Nader last time and says that "we" can't afford to make that mistake again.

Camil is very active politically--you can even pay him to speak to you--he belongs to a "pacifict" (meaning Anti-American) speakers bureau.

So I would be very surprised if he doesn't end up working for Kerry, if he isn't already.
