" Your words: "The SS agent is also a Vietnam Vet and has his own letter to give to Cleland explaing why he supports Bush. Cleland declined to take it and said he'd just send the letter throught the mail." Where in the article you linked does it say that?????????? SS agents are not allowed t voice opinions regarding such matters and if true a gross violation bythe SS and the bush campaign."

whoops sorry, I misread the article. Here's the exact words. It was a Texas State official.

Actually, I just went back to the article and now it's different.

Before it said something like. "Jerry Patterson, a Texas State Oficial and Vietnam Veteran, offered to accept the letter, if Cleland would accept his own in return."

Now it says " A Texas state official and Vietnam veteran, Jerry Patterson, said someone from the Bush campaign contacted him Wednesday morning and asked him if he would travel to the ranch, welcome Cleland to Texas and accept the former senator's letter to Bush.

"I tried to accept that letter and he would not give it to me," said Patterson. "He would not face me. He kept rolling away from me. He's quite mobile."

Patterson, who spoke with the president on the phone, said the campaign asked him to give Cleland a letter for Kerry written by the Bush campaign and signed by Patterson and seven other veterans. "

I just got the first edition I guess.
