2004 NOMINEE SENATOR JOHN KERRY WILL SPEAK AHEAD OF VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN TONIGHT............

The Democrats 2004 Presidential standardbearer, U.S. Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, current Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will deliver a foreign policy speech at the Convention tonight before the Nomination Acceptance Speeches by the Vice President Biden and the President Obama.  Kerry lost a very close election for President to the incumbent, President George W. Bush, eight years ago with the narrow margin in the State of Ohio, made the difference.  Ohio again is a pivotal battleground in the 2012 Presidential Election.  No Republican nominee for President has ever won the White House without winning Ohio.  Perhaps putting John Kerry in this penultimate spot just before the renominated incumbent Obama-Biden team is a reminder; like allowing Ohio to put the President's Delegate votes over the top last night, of just how important a priority this battleground and every vote is to victory and either winning or losing the Presidency this year............tdp
