Quick headlines Monday
* Kerry blows a wad ... a big wad: ["Kerry touts 'lifetime of service and strength' in $25 million ad buy"]. FoxNews listed some of the states of the ad buy - and one of them was Maine! This should be a secure Kerry state. Why is he buying ads there? To reach New Hampshire voters?
* Nader rejected by West Virginia indies: ["Mountain Party picks filmmaker"] but he promotes voting rights for 16-year-olds: ["Ralph Nader Favors Youth Voting: Lowering the Voting Age to 16"].
* You've gotta love this: ["Strip clubs focusing on va-va-va-voter drives"]. Apparently, they don't like Ashcroft so ... However, how do they plan on putting together their GOTV operation? So many deviant thoughts ...
* Keeping with the sex theme, did anyone else see Wonkette! on CNN's "Reliable Sources" Sunday? Cute beyond words! Having said that though, I could use a little less talk about John Kerry's package: ["Kerry: Keeping Us Guessing"]. Although, she does have a picture of Ben Affleck and Donald Rumsfeld hanging out ... how did he manage to smile during that chat? Pathetic.
* Why blogs are cool reason number who knows what: ["Campaign Desk"]. The Columbian Journalism Review has one for the campaign and it's pretty good too.
