Wednesday, June 09, 2004 - LOS ANGELES - John Kerry, Democratic presidential candidate, was simply father of a graduate Wednesday. Kerry attended his daughter Alexandra's graduation from the American Film Institute Conservatory in the Hollywood Hills, part of a two-day trip to California that included a brief visit to pay his respects to the late Ronald Reagan.

Alexandra Kerry, 30, is one of Kerry's two daughters from his first marriage to Julia Thorne. A younger daughter, Vanessa, is a medical student at Harvard. Both daughters were with Kerry Tuesday evening when he attended a screening of Alexandra's 15-minute film, "The Last Full Measure.' Her graduate project is about a 9-year-old girl trying to cope with her father's difficult return home from the Vietnam War.

Kerry told reporters on his campaign plane Tuesday that Alexandra, also a film and stage actress, was considering several job prospects, among them shadowing a movie director. Following the screening, Kerry celebrated at a Los Angeles restaurant with his daughters and an invitation-only crowd that included actress Dana Delaney and actor Daniel Stern, who plays the father in Alexandra's film.

Kerry will make a return trip to California June 24 as Hollywood stars, including Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond and Billy Crystal, perform at a fund- raising concert. The event had been scheduled for Monday. A similar concert in New York, originally planned for Thursday, has been rescheduled for July 8.

2. Let's not underestimate him now.

Isn't he more than a class act? ;-)

3. ??

What is your point? Call me stupid if you want, but I just don't understand what it is you are trying to say. Could you please spell it out in terms someone as dumb as me can comprehend?

4. What I'm saying is...

...I think calling Kerry a "class act" is a little bit of an understatement. I think he is more than just a class act. I mean, he knows what he's doing, and he cares about his family. How often do you see that in a politician?

5. Ok, sorry I

guess I was being overly defensive.
