3. Thanks for the links!

Much appreciated. It's great to see him expounding on Obama and also on big issues for MA and the country!

While I was at the patriotledger Youtube channel, I did a kerrysearch :-) and also found this deeply moving video tribute to Ciara Durkin, the Quincy specialist whose death in Afghanistan is still being investigated (is there new news on that?) I hadn't seen it before so posting the link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1euudqSkuAg

Heartbreaking to see the grieving family and town, but it's good to see JK there honoring her memory and offering comfort to her loved ones.

edited to add that this video is from October 11, 2007.

4. Now that I have had an opportunity to read and watch the videos. I wanted to say thanks.

This was a very informal and very honest interview. It was also very good. Senator Kerry makes a good case for Senator Obama and in typical classy style defends Senator Clinton from remarks from John McCain. he puts me to shame for being so cynical when he talks about the need to look to the future and says that even as the former nominee he thinks Obama has the ability to form a "common ground governance" and says he is excited about the prospect knowing that this is what this country needs right now. Before that he says he doesn't want to go back to the old fights. I second him on that comment.

Ans, as to the fisheries and fishing issues , I am curious as to what he is eating now that he has stopped eating so much fish because of the mercury problem? Yikes, I just started adding more fish to my diet.

Tay, thank you for posting this, with all the attention being focused elsewhere now a days, it is a real treat to be able to watch this interview.
