That doesn't seem to fit, but then, Cindy doesn't seem all right in the head. This woman didn't seem repulsed by the President kissing her when they were photographed.
I really don't think she's bright enough to come up with any of what she states. That's my own view. The more I see of her the more I see an empty vessel having lines programmed to speak. Absent programming, it's entirely possible when greeted with sincerity, empathy and kindness as displayed to her in the prior meeting with the President that she instictively reacted as a normal human being, not activist, would.
I would ask, though, how the Kerry campaign would know to speak to her? Those things just don't happen, but it would solidify the thought the Left is trying orchestrate another co-ordinated scam. Guess we'll find out what other 'coincidental' happenings occur between now and the 24th of Sept.
What I read last night was that the Kerry campaign contacted a lot of people in Vacaville; many they were just trolling and got a hit with Cindy?
The Kerry campaign was very sophisticated. In Ohio, they did research on individuals. They had input from voter registration logs when they approached doors and had information on families before approach.
If a family, from the census, indicated older Americans, then they addressed those issues. If they had children, they addressed those issues for a common bond.
You have to remember the time table during the time they were looking for military families to support him. In April he got slammed for the comments he made about Al Sadr.
Here is another incident of Kerry contacting a military family, planning to go to the funeral and not showing up.

Anti-Kerry effort angers family
By Kathie Neff Ragsdale
Staff Writer
The parents of a Dracut soldier killed in Iraq have dismissed as politically-motivated a Republican group's attack on Sen. John F. Kerry for failing to attend their son's funeral.
"They ought to leave the poor guy (Kerry) alone," said Leo Boule, whose son, Mathew, 22, died when his Blackhawk helicopter crashed during a firefight April 2.
The November Coalition, a group that seeks to get more Republicans elected in Massachusetts, criticized Kerry, D-Mass., for campaigning out of state on the day of Mathew Boule's April 15 funeral, and has launched a petition drive demanding Kerry apologize.
The group urged voters to flood local newspapers with letters to the editor objecting to Kerry's absence from the Boule funeral, and even provided suggested wording on its Web site.
Leo Boule and his wife, Sue, said they have no complaints against presidential candidate Kerry, who personally phoned the family to offer his help following news of their son's death.
"I would rather have had somebody call us up and offer us help when we needed it than show up at the funeral as a political figure," Sue Boule said. "As far as I'm concerned, if he'd showed up at the funeral, it would have been just a political thing."
The Boules said they declined Kerry's offer for help because they were already working with the office of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., who helped arrange for the return of Mathew Boule's remains.
"They want to bash the guy, fine, but get something substantive to bash him with," Leo Boule said of Kerry. "It's all politics and this has nothing to do with politics. ... Trying to bury our son, that's not politics."
Sue Boule said she was bothered by Kerry's remark earlier this month that the United States needed a "regime change" like the one in Iraq "because of the fact that our guys are over there fighting for his rights." But she said she was not bothered by his not attending her son's funeral.
Kerry said he called the Boule family when he learned of their son's death to express his "heartfelt condolences."
"It is regrettable that there are individuals who will stoop to politicizing a family's grief," he said through a spokesman.
The November Coalition, which describes its mission as "changing the Republican party in Massachusetts forever," is headed by Ian L. Bayne, 29, of Somerville. He called Kerry's failure to attend the funeral "offensive" and said he was "ashamed and embarrassed" by it.
Bayne says he has served in the U.S. Army Reserves since 1997. He is the political activist who organized a protest against Democrat Congressman Marty Meehan 1 1/2 years ago, when Meehan questioned whether Air Force One was a target of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
Here is an excerpt from another solicitation from the Kerry campaign to a fallen soldier's family:

Cutting to the Quick
The mother a soldier who died in Iraq talks about John Kerry. by Stephen F. Hayes 10/29/2004 1:00:00 PM
Canton, Ohio ON MAY 5, 2004, Peggy Buryj, got the worst news a mother can get. Her son, Jesse, had been killed in Iraq. Jesse was manning the turret of a Humvee at a checkpoint in Karbala, south of Baghdad, when he noticed a dump truck racing towards his vehicle. Despite warnings, the driver did not stop. Jesse fired more than 400 rounds at the truck, killing the driver. But the truck didn't stop. It rammed his Humvee, tipping it over. Jesse suffered massive internal injuries and later died on the operating table.
Jesse's funeral got significant media attention in Canton. The military told Mrs. Buryj (pronounced "boo-dee") that her son's action saved the lives of at least three soldiers. "My son was a big hero in these parts," she says. "Canton really turned out for my son's funeral."
Six weeks later, Peggy Buryj claims that she received a phone call from a representative of John Kerry's presidential campaign. The caller identified herself as "Linda" and asked Mrs. Buryj, a registered Democrat, if she would appear at a Canton rally for John Kerry. Buryj agreed, but with a condition. She wanted to ask Kerry one question: "Why did you vote against the $87 billion for support troops in Iraq?"
"And I wanted to ask him--because I never hear journalists ask him, or anybody ask him--what was his reasoning for voting down the money?"
Buryj understood that her request was politically sensitive. So she told the Kerry campaign that she was willing to ask Kerry in private, before the event, or in a phone call. She promised that she would not go public with his answer. She even offered to sign a confidentiality agreement pledging that she would not talk to reporters about Kerry's answer. Turns out, the Kerry campaign never called back.
