Senator John Kerry (D – MA): “To be truthful with you, I’m not sure why…”

Monday, October 30th, 2006

The GOTW Road Team caught up with 2004 Presidential Candidate John Kerry in California at a campaign event; the Senator didn’t know why we vote on Tuesdays (check the video for what he thought), but did have some strong opinions about Election Day Registration and other access issues.
