Dems unveil Republicans for Kerry
Washington, DC, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- The Kerry-Edwards campaign unveiled Wednesday a list of Republicans it says agreed to lead an effort to convince other GOP'ers to defect in November.
The Kerry-Edwards campaign said the roll out of the list and a new Web site is "the beginning of an ongoing national effort by Republicans who have pledged their support for John Kerry."
The leadership committee is composed of 29 individuals the Kerry-Edwards campaign identified as Republicans, including CSX Vice-Chairman A.R. "Pete" Carpenter, former National Policy Association CEO and Reagan administration official Malcolm Lovell, and ex-Nixon EPA Administrator Russell Train.
Others individuals involved, identified only by name and state of residence, include Georgia's Rich Boggs; Jason Brooms and Clyde Prestowitz of Washington, D.C.; Kentucky's Owsley and Christina Brown, Marshall Field of Illinois, New York's Rita Hauser, and George Hume of California.
The Kerry-Edwards campaign did not respond to an attempt to obtain more information about the committee's leadership and GOP activities.
The Web site, located at republicans.johnkerry.com, will include comments posted by other Republicans "who have made the choice to support John Kerry and John Edwards," the campaign said.

Thank you for letting me know this woman might well have some credibility. After most of the comments here, I had just about decided to drop it and forget I ever heard it.
To the doubters: I posted what I did because I thought people here might be interested and because I thought it was funny how it played perfectly into the perception of Democrats enlisting thousands of felons and the dead to vote for them. If you don't want anything to do with it, that's fine. But given the potential for embarrassment to the Kerry campaign, I wouldn't have forgiven myself if I didn't at least TRY to tell people - and this site has a pretty good history of news diggers who like to check this stuff out.
I doubt I ever would have found those releases that Terilyn posted, for example. I wouldn't have thought to check DNC or Moveon press releases at all, for that matter. That's why I posted it - because ya'll are a hell of a lot better at this than I am.
