6. Nice Notices
Thanks for posting

John Kerry
One of two rock stars for the campaign. He refused to endorse Joe Lieberman in the primary. He basically made a mockery of Joe by saying he doesn't get involved in contested primaries despite campaigning for Jim Webb against Harris Miller a few days earlier. After we won, he sent out a pair of mildly successful fundraising emails on our behalf. He appeared in the state.

Most importantly, John Kerry was the Senator who spoke most forcefully and publicly about Joe's support of "stay the course" and his Nixonian deception when Joe all of a sudden became a peace candidate in the closing weeks.
Senator Kerry was by far and away the most helpful senator to the campaign.

Wes Clark
Another rock-star. He appeared in a commercial for the campaign. General Clark sent out a fundraising email for the campaign. He came to Connecticut and spoke at a packed rally in Storrs (UCONN). He also spoke out against Joe Lieberman's desire to "stay the course in Iraq. He was the first to chastise Joe for running as an independent after Joe questioned the general's Democratic bona fides during the 2004 presidential campaign.

Again, the general was absolutely terrific.
