Broadcaster says campaign's public war obscured efforts to make balanced show For the past two weeks, Sen. John Kerry's campaign has waged a multi-pronged attack on the Sinclair Broadcast Group even as the Democratic nominee's representatives privately have engaged in negotiations over the airing of "Stolen Honor," an executive with the television chain contends. In an interview with WorldNetDaily, Sinclair's vice president for corporate relations, Mark Hyman, said the discussions have taken the form of meeting face-to-face with Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill, telephone calls and written correspondence. Hyman, who said the latest contact with Kerry's campaign was today,...

45 minutes to go. If there is already a live debate thread go ahead and delete this. I understand posting a live thread has become a somewhat of a political ordeal here, when it shouldn't be. So to take the pressure off, I'm posting this anyway. Do I dare? LOL!

It's sort of like his lucky CIA hat... SANTA FE, United States (AFP) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry hailed Christopher Reeve as "America's hero" and vowed to drive on the dead Superman actor's crusade for stem-cell research. ...Kerry said the last time he heard from Reeve was on Saturday, when the actor left a message on his cellphone, enthused by the Massachusetts senator's decision to raise stem-cell research in Friday's second presidential debate. Oh really? WHO TV (Des Moines) October 11th, 2004 - According to sources close to the actor, Reeve died Sunday. The actor fell into a coma...

WHO IS BEN BARNES?A Deep-Pocketed Kerry Partisan Who Can't Keep His Stories Straight______________________________________________Barnes Under OathUnder Oath, Barnes Testified He Had No Contact With Bush Family Concerning National Guard.  "Ben Barnes, then the speaker of the Texas House, said in 1999 that Sidney Adger, a Houston businessman and longtime friend of the Bush family whose son also won a slot in the 147th, had asked him to help get Mr. Bush into the Guard. Mr. Barnes, who acknowledged a role only after he was questioned under oath, also said that he had spoken to the head of the Texas Air National...

The Kerry in Cambodia fairy tale continues to unravel. I've already reported that Kerry's own accounts of Christmas 1968 in Cambodia contradict each other. Tony Snow wrote, Kerry's account of this list has shifted and changed constantly over the last 35 years. Some versions have him spending the day in Cambodia, dropping off spies. Others have him in a barracks, 55 miles from the Cambodian border, scribbling entries into his diary. [Kerry advocate Jim] Hurley offered a hybrid today, saying Kerry was ordered onto the water Christmas day, made his way to the Cambodian border, endured three separate engagements with...

TOM MAGUIRE has already posted John Kerry's speech claiming to have been in Cambodia on Christmas day, 1968. But because this is a question of importance, and because some people might doubt the veracity of quotations pasted in from NEXIS, I thought I'd go to the law library and check it myself in hardcopy. (The law library was closed and the copiers were off, but I have a key, and -- let this be another lesson to bloggers everywhere -- a digital camera). Here's a link to a larger version showing the exact page citation and context. The evidence...

Click here to help elect Kerry-Edwards & other Democrats in 2004 Dear Jd, I'm interrupting John Kerry's dispatches from the road to tell you about something that will make you angry, but which is important for you to hear. We knew it was coming: the Bush campaign and several allied right-wing groups are using August to launch a vicious smear attack against John Kerry. They think we're vulnerable this month because while George Bush is still able to raise money for attack ads, Kerry had to stop fundraising at the Democratic convention last week. They're taking this opportunity to go...

LISTEN NOW - "THE KEVIN MCCULLOUGH SHOW"

He says he "led the fight" on several fronts, but few bills bear his name. Summary John Kerry is fond of saying "I led the fight" on a lot of things -- against Arctic drilling, against Bush's Medicare prescription drug legislation, for federal grants for 100,000 new police officers, against Newt Gingrich's attempts to lessen environmental regulations. But reporters who cover Congress often gave others credit for the leading roles in some of those fights -- with scant mention of Kerry. And The Associated Press last July found that only eight laws had Kerry as their lead sponsor, five of...
