If I were Kerry, I wouldn't name those names because [Bush] would clearly make their lives difficult.

I've gotten to know John Kerry since the primaries. The reason I'm going out and working my you know what off for John Kerry is because I believe him. I believe he'll be a good president and a much better president than George Bush.

John Kerry's position and my position are not very different about what we would do. Interestingly enough, neither is George Bush's position because George Bush adopted John Kerry's position after John Kerry won the primaries.

First of all I like John Kerry. I think he's intellectually curious and very thoughtful. I think he's deeply committed on issues like the environment. I think he's an internationalist, which I am.

I will work closely with John Kerry to make sure we beat George Bush in November and turn our country around.

[• ON THE ATTACK: John Kerry] launched a broad attack ... shifting views on gun control, Social Security, and Medicare policy, as well as campaign finance reform.
