'We have to get angry, and organize around that," he told the audience of about 800 students at Brown University, deviating from his prepared text. ...And while Kerry's speech was part of an annual political lecture series at Brown, it had the air of a major political moment. The senator was surrounded by family members including his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, daughter Vanessa, and brother Cameron -- each a key member of his inner circle and each in a position to advise him on whether to make a 2008 run. They and the senator's aides scrutinized his performance from the...

Senator John Kerry has slated the Bank of England over its handling of the BCCI banking disaster and warned that the City remains vulnerable to another major scandal.

Kerry is an acknowledged expert on the long-running BCCI affair, having led a US Senate investigation into the rogue bank more than 10 years ago. BCCI,...

Nominee No. 2: [Kalamazoo Gazette]: James Burns, 34, (a mechanic) of Alamo, MI, was killed...

...The staggering defeat of the Democratic Party and its ever-accelerating death spiral weren't obvious from the election results. Two factors masked the extent of the party's trouble. Without the innovation of Internet-driven small-donor fund-raising and a corresponding surge in support from the youngest voters, John Kerry would have suffered a dramatically larger defeat.... Mr. Kerry was a weaker candidate than Mr. Gore. He lost so much ground among women, Hispanics, and other key groups, that the millions in Internet money, the most Herculean get-out-the-vote effort in party history, and the largest turnout of young voters in over a decade, couldn't...

NEW YORK — John Kerry (search) believes he lost to President Bush because of the video from Usama bin Laden (search) that surfaced just days before the Nov. 2 presidential election.

Imagine my surprise when I clicked on the Drudge article "FU long overdue" which links to a Washington Post article. Right in the middle of the article pops up an ad crowing out:Time for a change. Make One. Donate to John Kerry – Give $50 now So now articles themselves - as biased as they are - aren't even enough. Planted INSIDE the attack on Preidsent Bush is an ad where you can DONATE MONEY to the opposition candidate! It is OUTRAGEOUS!
