The Boston Phoenix says John Kerry has 'the right stuff' to continue to serve Massachusetts as Senator.
John Kerry, once again, deserves the Democratic Party’s nomination. Kerry’s experience is just too strong to be discounted. His experience in national and international affairs is unmatched in Massachusetts by anyone other than his senior Senate colleague, Ted Kennedy.
The Boston Globe says John Kerry is a 'strong and prescient voice'.
More broadly, Kerry has been a strong and often prescient voice: on climate change, on global terrorism threats, on AIDS. He led the 2005 filibuster that ended - by one vote - the Republican effort to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He has been a stalwart friend to veterans, increasing their pay, helping them get small business assistance and fighting for improved healthcare. With a fellow veteran, Republican John McCain, he negotiated painful issues regarding wartime MIAs, which led to normalized relations with Vietnam.Kerry's opponent, Gloucester lawyer Edward O'Reilly, is energetic but utterly unprepared for the job of US senator. He is running against Kerry from the left, not a persuasive critique of a man who was red-baited for opposing the Vietnam War.
The Bay State Banner makes a strong case for Senator Kerry, and for voters to get to the polls on Tuesday.
The fierce contest to win the Democratic presidential nomination should convince everyone that it is unwise to take political results for granted. On Tuesday, Sept. 16, two incumbents of special importance to African Americans face opponents. The community cannot afford to lose either of them.One is Sen. John F. Kerry, who has been unerringly right on the issues. His voting record on issues of importance to African Americans has earned him a 100 percent “A” rating from the NAACP.
There are more reasons, and more endorsements, but they all tell pretty much the same story. Sen. Kerry has been fighting for Massachusetts and for our country since he was a young Navy Lieutenant in Vietnam, and he's not done yet.
Senator Kerry spoke to the press after the taping of the WBZ debate, and listed many of the reasons for re-electing him to the Senate. He spoke of his legislative accomplishments and his desire to return to Washington to continue the fight.
