By this morning, Geddes, who has declined to comment publicly on the matter, had apparently had enough of the bad publicity. Through an intermediary, he offered Gobbell an apology and said she could have her old job back. But Gobbell said she wouldn't return without some written guarantee that Geddes wouldn't turn around and fire her once he was out of the spotlight. Then, late this afternoon, Kerry himself phoned Gobbell. "He was telling me how proud he was that I stood up," Gobbell told me. "He'd read the part where Phil said I could either work for him or work for John Kerry. He said, 'you let him know you're working for me as of today.' I was just so shocked."

3. I'm impressed

Jobs can be tough to come by. It would have been so easy to have swallowed some pride, took off the sticker, and secretly be looking for another job. She had the strength to stand up for her beliefs. It makes my day to hear of someone who refuses to be bullied. :)

This one story says SO MUCH about the campaign, about the state of politics and our nation -- and, of course, about our guy.

major network talk shows that have big women's audiences-- like Oprah, Sharon Osbourne.

This story has to go national, despite the Corporate Press running from it.
