According to a Kerry campaign adviser in Washington, there are discussions about getting Kerry out and about with voters in many of the locales he will be visiting. "But the main focus is on fundraising. He will have plenty of time to meet voters and talk about his ideas about getting America back on course, once he is the party nominee," said the on-message adviser.

p> A DASCHLE OF INTEGRITY br> Democrats last week grew angry -- again -- at Senate minority leader Tom Daschle for his decision to let two Bush nominees slip through committee holds for a full vote of the Senate. Both nominees were confirmed. The nominees, both for the Department of Homeland Security, had been blocked by Democrats, along with a number of judicial and executive branch nominations. /p>
