John Kerry. But this was in 2008, when he was campaigning for Barack Obama.
Nice guy. Not warm and cheery, but had a genial businesslike manner. He made his pitch for Barack Obama and then answered questions from the audience. I asked him, as a veteran myself, if he was ever going to go after those Swiftboat slugs who torpedoed his campaign in 2004. He gave a political, but appropriate answer: his focus was on getting Obama elected.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
