But lemme guess, they didn't show the video of Kerry campaigning in Iowa and calling Pickering "a supporter of cross-burners"?

That's the White House's ace in the hole, if they decide to use it. I'd run a campaign commercial showing that clip, a brief recitation of Pickering's actual work for civil rights, note that this info had been given to John Kerry last year, and then ask "Do we really want to elect a man who would knowingly slander a civil rights leader over partisan politics?"
