Kerry challenges GOP where it lives
Ex-presidential hopeful holds Morris rally
BY Rob Seman- Daily Record

MORRISTOWN - Former presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., told a few hundred of Morris County’s outnumbered Democrats that their votes would take a larger role in the state and nation by electing Sen. Jon Corzine as New Jersey’s governor.

The roughly two-hour rally at Jimmy’s Haunt provided something of a temporary oasis for the Democratic faithful in Republican-rich Morris County, which Kerry lost to President Bush by a wide margin in 2004.

But Kerry told his decidedly outnumbered constituents - with a little humor - that their efforts in the presidential election were appreciated.

“You all did everything humanly possible,” Kerry said. “You did everything except move to Ohio.”

Kerry’s appearance in Morristown was part of a day’s worth of appearances across New Jersey, including stops in Paramus, Wayne, Edison and Lawrenceville. Corzine, who appeared at the other stops, did not attend the Morris County event because he had another engagement.
