I have been listening to a local GA radio talk show, Kim Peterson. Of course the topic is Kerry and his remarks about the intelligence of the military. Kim Peterson is a former marine and is tearing Kerry to shreds. Every one of his callers is blasting Kerry. Some say they are democrats and are embarrassed by the Senator from MA. Could be seminar callers but who knows.

Here in GA at least, Kerry is not playing well at all.

Thanks for this good news. I am feeling much like I did pre-election in '04 and it feels great!

Drudge has a link to a statement by the head of the American Legion calling for Kerry to apologize.

The Corner

Statement sent out by the Bob Corker campaign, becoming one of the first to try to hang Kerry around the neck of Democratic candidates:

The Corker for Senate campaign today called on Washington Congressman Harold Ford to either defend or denounce U.S. Senator John Kerry’s comment denigrating U.S. troops considering the fact he served as a National Co-Chair for the Massachusetts liberal’s 2004 presidential campaign, and because Ford just took $900,000 from the Democrat campaign committees – courtesy of a transfer from Kerry and his colleague, Senator Ted Kennedy.

“Bob Corker rejects John Kerry’s outrageous comments belittling the intelligence of our troops in Iraq, and Harold Ford’s silence on this matter leaves one to conclude he’s siding with Kerry,” charged Todd Womack, the Corker campaign Communications Director. “As one of Kerry’s strongest supporters in 2004, and having just taken Kerry’s campaign money to prop up his faltering candidacy, he has an obligation to speak out.”
