Dang the luck of GWB. First, the Swift Boat Vets carve up Kerry like a turkey, then Dan Rather and the bogus CBS documents, then Kitty Kelley and the laughable charges in her book, and now he gets Ted Kennedy on the campaign trail against him. Some divine power has touched GWB on his shoulder.
Kennedy to Hit Campaign Trail for Kerry (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=694&u=/ap/20040914/ap_on_el_pr/kerry_kennedy_1&printer=1)
WASHINGTON - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, often credited with giving a boost to John Kerry's presidential campaign, is launching a seven-week election drive for his Massachusetts colleague that will pair fund raising and travel with a barrage of speeches condemning President Bush's policies.
Kennedy, D-Mass., will make two campaign stops in Pennsylvania on Friday, in addition to appearances around the country nearly every weekend as a surrogate for Kerry. While the Senate remains in session, Kennedy plans almost daily rebukes of Bush's policies, ranging from the war in Iraq to health care and education.
Kennedy waged a similar war of words against Bush four years ago for Democrat Al Gore. But this time, his work for Kerry will be more active and involve much more travel, Kennedy's aides said.
They would not release a list of places where Kennedy is expected to campaign, but said the liberal Democrat will be in battleground states across all regions of the country.
Republicans, meanwhile, have rejoiced in the opportunity to link Kerry with his home state's liberal lion — one of the politicians conservatives love to hate.
