Iowa candidate asks Kerry to cancel campaign visit

DES MOINES, Iowa A Democratic Congressional candidate from Iowa is canceling a campaign event later this week with Senator John Kerry. Brucy Braley says Kerry's recent comments about the Iraq war were inappropriate.

Braley is running against Republican Mike Whalen in Iowa's First District congressional race. It's a contest considered to be one of the most competitive House races in the country. Braley's decision to distance himself from Kerry came as a furor grew from comments Kerry made about the Iraq War during a campaign stop in California on Monday.

Kerry said if you make the most of your education, you "can do well." The Democrat went on to say that is you don't, (quote) "you get stuck in Iraq." The remarks prompted sharp criticism from some Republicans, including President Bush and Arizona Senator John McCain.

Kerry refused to apologize.

I love this stuff!

Lurch might well be advised to avoid being close to the midwest/south....Arkancide opportunities abound, ya know.

Haha! What a great day. I'm surprised this Iowa congressman has the guts to say no to yawn effing kerry. GOOD JOB!

Where's Braley's sense of humor? Can't he tell a joke when he hears one? Sheesh.

Tony Snow is on WLS Chicago right now, talking to Don Wade and Roma.
Tony said Kerry has canceled all appearances for now.

Day's like this, it's especially nice to be a Freeper, isn't it?

" He's going to his room to pout."

Talk show hosts across America knelt down and gave thanks yesterday for the gift of Senator John Kerry, whose cultural condescension keeps on giving.

A week before Election Day, his fellow Democrats may have had a different (unprintable) reaction.
