Walz communication director Meredith Salsbery said Kerry canceled his visit to keep the focus on the issues and away from Kerry’s comments and McCain’s response.
She wouldn’t comment on whether Walz asked Kerry not to campaign for him, but said the decision was ultimately the senator’s choice.

It would have been great fun to see McCain and Kerry go at it after seeing McCain's comments on H& C tonight,....they might have gotten physical....McCain brought up Kerry's performance after the Vietnam war.
Former Navy Officer Kerry has done more damage to this nation than the Walker spy ring and that's saying something folks.
I was on a not-so-swift battlegearboat (LCM-6).
I was attacked and attacked back and I spent the month of November, 1969 in the 93rd Evac hospital in Long Binh where I witnessed, daily, heroic Americans die and heroic American doctors, nurses and medics fight with everything they had to save lives and provide comfort, compassion and love for their wounded comrades.
It was, and always will be the experience of my lifetime, the suffering and pain, eased by these exceptionally professional people, these extraordinary human beings who so willingly made sacrifices, remained diligent, alert and worked impossible hours while at the same time constantly encouraged us patients to pull through.
The things I saw in that place of honor, to be a participant/patient part of my country's history, much as my great grandfather in The Civil War, crammed into that crowded, cross-shaped ward and commiserate with the wounded and dying...it was all so overwhelming, yet I survived!
Aside from that, most of my time in Vietnam was spent trading movies and bartering with merchant vessels as they swung at anchor, awaiting transit upriver to Saigon.
This sorry bucket of piss John Kerry deserves nothing but ridicule and scorn. History will not judge him kindly.
