Not only that but 1) he said he was "suspending" his campaign this week, and 2) he made invidious comparisons between Bush and Reagan. The media picked it right up, even emphasizing that he was catholic and made the sign of the Cross. They all got together over the weekend to figure out a way to use this. They have politicized it just like the Wellstone funeral only this time I bet they get away with it. Next we will hear how Bush is "politicizing" this while Kerry was just honorably showing his respect. It is beyond belief, particularly if peo0ple buy it.

Yes, indeed, he was suspending "overt campaigning" this week in deference to President Reagan's memory. BTW, pay attention to how frequently Kerry uses some form of the word "optimistic" over the upcoming days and weeks. Apparently, in meetings over the weekend they decided that one word was most often associated with President Reagan, so, they're inserting it in every sound bite moment.
