Super Bowl QB Won't Stump For Kerry
(EVOTE.COM) - The Boston Herald reports Tuesday that Senator John Kerry (D-MA) tried unsuccessfully to schedule a June fundraising event featuring Super Bowl quarterback Tom Brady. According to the report, the Herald had reported March 31 that Brady was planning to host the June 21 fundraiser -- But two days later, Brady and the rest of Patriots would go to meet President Bush at the White House -- and two days after that, he withdrew from the fundraiser. The Herald piece speculates that Brady may have been unaware that Kerry is a likely '04 challenger against President Bush. The piece also cites an earlier U.S. News and World Report article about how both parties have been courting Brady, and how he wants "all the politicians to shut up and stop making it sound as if he likes any of them." For his part, Kerry did finally pick up a last-minute Republican challenger this week after months of heavy fundraising that has done little to dampen speculation about a presidential bid. 40-year old history teacher Anthony Kandel reportedly plans to make his first bid for elected office against the veteran Senator.Then again, rooting for the Panthers isn't gonna help much. I mean, c'mon, Charlotte's congressional rep (and former mayor), Sue Myrick, confided that she and her husband have been worrying about terror cells since way before 9/11 --
