Group of US soldiers' wives to campaign for Kerry

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Democratic challenger John Kerry (news - web sites) has gained new foot soldiers in his battle to unseat Republican President George W. Bush (news - web sites): eight mothers and wives of US soldiers who will campaign for Kerry in seven battleground states.

The women, whose husbands or sons have been deployed in Iraq (news - web sites) and Afghanistan (news - web sites), will march across 5,600 kilometers (3,480 miles) in less than 10 days, starting off in Wisconsin and West Virginia on Tuesday, six weeks before the November 2 election.

Laura Bertsch's husband just returned from Iraq, but the 27-year-old recent university graduate will go on her own mission before joining her husband in Ohio.

"He deserves the best leader," Bertsch told a news conference in Washington.
