I have a feeling that Kerry was tipped off about Reeve's condition prior to the 2nd debate, which is why he mentioned him along with Michael J. Fox. You can bet Kerry will again mention Reeve at the 3rd debate. It is this crude, blatant exploitation of the disabled and afflicted, which make the Dems so despicable. They provide false hope in order to win debating points and votes. The implication will be that GWB caused the death of Reeve.

The same thought occured to me.

"I have a feeling that Kerry was tipped off about Reeve's condition prior to the 2nd debate, which is why he mentioned him along with Michael J. Fox."

The following information supports your theory:

"In the last week, Reeve had developed a serious systemic infection from a pressure wound, a common complication for people living with paralysis." (CNN)

'In the last week' takes us back to October 4. Kerry, being a close friend, may have learned of this serious infection mid last week, based on the information above, prior to its release in the public domain.

Just my 2 cents.

I think you're right. He wouldn't have pulled Chris Reeve's name out of thin air otherwise.

Despicable. Pandering. Disgusting.

How do these people sleep at night or look themselves in the mirror?

That's exactly what I was thinking....that he knew there was a good chance that Reeve was going to die...or at least be in the news about him being in bad condition.

Must be nice to have "friends" that you can use for your own purposes.
