Gee, that's what CNN said:

SIMI VALLEY, California (CNN) -- Thousands of mourners were joined by Sen. John Kerry Tuesday to view Ronald Reagan's casket. Kerry, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, arrived at the former president's library in Simi Valley, California, just before 2 p.m. (5 p.m. ET). Kerry, D-Massachusetts, suspended "overtly political" events this week in observance of Reagan's death.

yeah, MSNBC said the same thing. Unfortunately for Kerry, he isn't very good at covert action.

What he did today was pure politics, and it's impossible not to see it.

I just read an article where Bush and Kerry have agreed to suspend tv ads for the day of the funeral in Washington only.

This must be COVERTLY political. (the word "optomism" will be the new campaign reinvention talking point for kerry.)

This will be part of a campaign for Kerry to try and associate himself with the Reagan legacy. This goes with the elitists notion that Reagan was all communication skills and those same skills can be used with equal efectivness to put democrats in power. Symbolism over substance.

Kerry must think he can become Reagan by 1. using the word "optomism" and 2. keeping out of sight so people can't see and hear the real kerry.
