If there's anything better than having John Kerry support your run for the White House, it's having two Kerrys. Teresa and the Senator both hit the campaign trail for Obama in the past few days, Teresa with Michelle in at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, and the Senator across the Commonwealth, building support for Barack for Pennsylvania's April 22nd primary.
First, though, Senator Kerry hit the cable news channels to talk to both MSNBC and CNN about Senator Obama's experience and vision, and John McCain's failed strategy.

I wasn't able to break away from work to see THK and Michelle on Wednesday, and it sounds like I missed a great event. The next day's PG front page story was titled "Michelle Obama wows them at CMU", and noted the frequent comparison of the two women, both "independent-minded political spouses". I think I would have to add that they are both accomplished women in their own right, with some pretty serious resumes to their credit.

It may not be newsworthy, but I was out and about for Obama yesterday as well, this time canvassing a very nice middle class neighborhood near my home. The economy was an issue for the folks I met, as it was in a more economically challenged area I visited the other day, but the real standout for many of these people is Iraq, and their anger and frustration over Bush's war. Needless to say, they're not voting for John McCain. They get it. They can see through Teflon John's rhetoric and the free pass he's getting from much of the media. As with the other neighborhoods I called and canvassed, Obama was the clear favorite yesterday.
Heads up! Sen Kerry will make an appearance on Fox News Sunday today, to discuss the situation in Iraq and Gen. Petraeus' upcoming status report.
