Sex Offenders For Kerry
By Matt Margolis | June 23, 2004
Captain Ed over at Blogs For Bush has the scoop on this one:
A Democratic group crucial to John Kerry’s presidential campaign has paid felons — some convicted of sex offenses, assault and burglary — to conduct door-to-door voter registration drives in at least three election swing states.
America Coming Together, contending that convicted criminals deserve a second chance in society, employs felons as voter canvassers in major metropolitan areas in Missouri, Florida, Ohio and perhaps in other states among the 17 it is targeting in its drive. Some of the felons lived in halfway houses, and at least four returned to prison. …
Although it works against the re-election of President Bush, ACT is an independent group not affiliated with the Kerry campaign — federal law forbids such coordination. Yet ACT is stocked with veteran Democratic political operatives, many with past ties to Kerry and his advisers.
No matter how you slice this, it ain’t good for Kerry.
UPDATE: You got to love the Boston Herald… Here was there front page Thursday 6/24/04:
I was so amused I picked up an issue. I doubt any other papers were so bold.

He’ll say, if anything at all, that this group was not affliated with his campaign. I certainly don’t see less of him because of this, especially when this information is still so vague.

Matt, this is a GREAT new design. Very clean and simple and probably the best I’ve seen.

I’ll be the first to admit, my grasp of US history isn’t always the greatest. Which democratic presidents were sex offenders?
