Cam Kerry at UT
By Byron LaMasters
Cam Kerry, better known as John Kerry's brother was in town today for some fundraisers, and he happened to have an hour free in his schedule around 11 AM. Fortunately, Cam's people thought last night to call the Travis County Democratic coordinated campaign to ask what he could do for an hour. They decided that students could put together a mini-rally in twelve hours, so we hurried out some emails and managed to give Cam a nice setting to chat with the local media, so if you're in Austin, watch the news tonight. Cam made some brief remarks to the group of 30-40 students that had gathered about the importance of voting and this election, then spoke for a bit with the local media, then took time to chat with many students, sign t-shirts and pose for pictures. It ought to get us some good publicity.

Already registered 1000 students this fall? That's great!
And actually the total registered today ended up being close to 200.
Tell Dave Greenberg that his shirt is spiffy.
Also, I got deputized as a voter registrar today! I'm behind you guys, but not by much!
(OK, 1000 voters? Sheesh. Hopefully the YDs@UH have done that well, but I haven't been able to get to any of there meetings yet, so I don't know).
