NATIONAL POLITICS
DEMOCRATS RALLY TOGETHER FOR KERRY
KATIE O’NEAL
Staff Writer
Leading figures in the
Democratic Party have
rallied together to sup
port Presidential hope
ful John Kerry.
At the Democratic
"unity" dinner, which
took place in
Washington this past
Thursday night, former
American presidents,
Bill Clinton and Jimmy
Carter placed their sup
port behind' Kerry.
Clinton was quoted as
saying, "If people think
in this election, if they
think about the choices
that have been made and
the vision John Kerry
offers, we win."
Another significant and
familiar figure who has
placed his weight behind
Kerry is Howard Dean.
Dean, who at one point
was leading the
Democratic nominees,
abandoned the presiden
tial race in February after
suffering serious losses in
Iowa and New
Hampshire. Dean and
Kerry were known to
have had conflicting poli
cy stances. However, dur
ing a recent gathering at
George Washington
University, both men
pledged to put past dis
putes behind them and
move forward. Kerry told
the crowd that both he and
Dean recognize that the
campaign is about doing
what is best for the coun
try.
Kerry stated, "It's not
about a party. It's about
our country. It's about you
and your future."
Dean has given his full
endorsement to Kerry, and
is even using his cam
paign organization,
"Democracy for
America," to help Kerry's
campaign. During the
rally at George
Washington University,
Dean expressed his enthu
siasm, by leading students
in a chant of "Kerry,
Kerry."
In addition to Dean's
endorsement, Kerry has
also received the backing
the American Federation
of State, County and
Municipal Employees.
The support of this 1.3
million-member union
will be a huge boost for
Kerry’s campaign.
On another note, Kerry
has criticized President
Bush's humor at this past
Wednesday night's Radio
and Television
Correspondents'
Association dinner in
Washington. Bush poked
fun at the fact that he and
his administration were
unable to locate any
weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq. Kerry
viewed Bush's jokes on
such a serious matter as
inappropriate and "out of
touch."
The recent endorse
ments Kerry has received
will be an obvious bene
fit to his campaign. How
significant of a boost the
added support will give
Kerry is yet to be deter
mined.
