CHARLESTON, S.C. --Sen. John Kerry, returning to the state where he began his quest for the presidency, thanked supporters Friday and said he has no problem campaigning in heavily Republican South Carolina.
"You just bled and worked your hearts out, notwithstanding how red some people may think South Carolina is," the Massachusetts Democrat told about 75 people at a rally for Randy Maatta, a Democrat running in the state's 1st Congressional District.
"We came within one state. We came within 59,000 votes of setting this country on a better track," said Kerry, recalling how he opened his presidential campaign across town. "I'm here today because that fight continues."
Kerry began his 2004 presidential run with an announcement in front of the aircraft carrier Yorktown in nearby Mount Pleasant.
He later said it was "not tough at all" campaigning in a red state.

Add me to the list. / Remove me from the list.
Kerry also bears a striking resemblance to the evil doctor in "re-animator". Makes the film even more frightning!
LOL! That's a good one. It's so easy to make cartoons of Kerry because he's such a goofy person. He usually makes them for us.
I couldn't agree more - I've long been sick and tired of hearing this spouted out as if it were gospel! Enough already!
I bet even less than that would show up this time around
