HENDERSON, Nev. -- Sen. John Kerry will bring his Boston accent and celebrity to the West later this week to campaign for Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate Kerry recently endorsed in this year's primary battle.
Details have not yet been released, but Obama's campaign says Kerry will campaign in Nevada on Thursday and Friday, in advance of Saturday's Nevada caucuses.
Obama, meanwhile, is speaking here at this hour to several hundred people in a crowded convention center meeting room. He travels later today to the Los Angeles area for a round table discussion, a meeting with the editorial board of the Los Angeles Times and to raise money.

An article on John Keery stumping for Obama in Nevada, but STILL no article on the racially divisive Michigan Democrat primary results.

I would not want Kerry backing me in any contest. His lies about his service in Vietnam certainly should discredit him from giving support to anyone for anything.

So Russell and Paulo seem to be saying that the Navy just hands out medals for dubious reasons. What true patriots you are.

This is one of the main reasons we need to move on and away from this farce. Bruce is wetting is pants he is enjoying this so much. Bruce couldn't give a hoot about blacks or women, he just wants to give his republican party another chance of running this country into the ground.
Loser!

Senator Obama is fortunate to have Senator Kerry's endorsement -- it is worth its weight in many years of wisdom and experience. John Kerry is an excellent speaker and, as he proved in his barnstorming tour of solid support of Democratic candidates across the nation in 2006, lends immense strength and quality to any campaign he chooses to stump for.

If I were an undecided voter, John Kerry would most definitely NOT seal the deal for me. I voted for him, but that was only because I would have voted for just about anyone over Bush. He's certainly not a likeable guy, in any way.

I'm glad to hear that Senator Kerry will be in Nevada to give Senator Obama a boost. Senator Kerry was a tireless campaigner in 2006, out on the trail almost non-stop in support of Democrats, and was instrumental in helping the Democrats regain the majority in Congress. I'm sure his presence will help Sen. Obama too.

We have a name for people like Kerry where i come from and it is called the mush.

jethro,
You're having a bad day... where did Russell or I post anything about medals?
Too much popcorn last night?

Fellow democrat's endorsements are fine, but they come with a price - does Kerry hope to be Secretary of State, or some other cabinet position. Kerry still pursues the limelight. If I were Obama, I would gracious accept the endorsement, but not make a big deal out of it because tomorrow, if elected, he may have to pay the piper.

Obama has found an effective and valuable advocate in Sen. Kerry.
Posted by: Azor | January 16, 2008 7:18 PM
Yeah,
Kerry is a really bad man. He took us into a war build on lies. He was the uniter/decider. He added three trillion to the national debt. He went awol from his military obligations. He urinated on the Constitution. Imagine how much damage he could have done had he actually won the election.

That's great!
Nothing like a loser endorsing another loser.
Keep up the "kiss of death" endorsement, Kerry!
Way to go!

Well Paulo, Kerry served 3 months because he was wounded several times in combat and has the Purple Hearts to prove it. So you mocking his 3 months of service means you are mocking his Purple Hearts. Did I go to fast for you, Pillow?

I'm John F Kerry and I lost please vote for Barack so he'll lose too.
Oh I forgot I served in Vietnam did I throw my medals over the fence or did I just pretend to/ Jerry White, Springfield, IL

Good for Senator Kerry. He knows a winner when he sees one unlike Paulo. Obama just got another newspaper endorsement in Nevada. The Reno Gazette. Victory on Saturday!!
