"This was a home run," said Thompson, a registered Democrat who attended the fund-raiser and said he would vote for Kerr. Thompson said Hastert's promise on the tobacco legislation, along with his commitment to support Kerr if she is elected, could influence the district's 19,000 tobacco farmers. Thompson also said tobacco farmers have become "very depressed" as buyout legislation stalled in Congress.

Thought you might like this. I wonder if the Dole-backed senate plan is the one Hastert will bring up in the House, or something different?

This certainly puts Kerr on offense with less than two weeks to go. Chandler had taken the offensive on a couple on things, including veterans. Now the tables are turned.
