Both President Bush and Sen Kerry will be at the dedication of the World War II monument on Memorial Day.
The Kerry campaign is preparing to spend in the region of $17m on television advertising during the month of June; interestingly, targeting the state of Virginia, which President Bush won in 2000. According to the AP:
"The Democrat's campaign has turned toward Virginia, believing that population shifts over the past few years had made the state more northern in its politics and more Democratic in its voting patterns. Kerry's advisers say the race is close in the state, and they believe the decorated Vietnam veteran also can do well along the coast, which has a heavy military presence."
A CBS poll shows that a Kerry-McCain ticket would hold a substantial national lead over Bush-Cheney.
Meanwhile, the Green Party has a month before its convention to decide whether to formally adopt Ralph Nader as its presidential candidate.
Howard Dean has a new day job.
Finally, Paul Krugman in the New York Times today highlights the potentially changing relationship between the Bush White House and the press corps. He says:
"Amazing things have been happening lately. The usual suspects have tried to silence reporting about prison abuses by accusing critics of undermining the troops — but the reports keep coming.
The attorney general has called yet another terror alert — but the press raised questions about why. (At a White House morning briefing, Terry Moran of ABC News actually said what many thought during other conveniently timed alerts: "There is a disturbing possibility that you are manipulating the American public in order to get a message out.")"
