"This election is about property taxes and reform. ... It's not about President Bush or John Kerry." (Forrester's Communications Director)

then:

Vice President Dick Cheney and Karl Rove, the president's chief political strategist, have joined Forrester at fundraisers for state Republicans this year. Laura Bush was scheduled for another event this week, but the White House postponed that event because the first lady is devoting her efforts to raising money for hurricane victims.

Ex-presidential hopeful holds Morris rally

MORRISTOWN - Former presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., told a few hundred of Morris County's outnumbered Democrats that their votes would take a larger role in the state and nation by electing Sen. Jon Corzine as New Jersey's governor.

The roughly two-hour rally at Jimmy's Haunt provided something of a temporary oasis for the Democratic faithful in Republican-rich Morris County, which Kerry lost to President Bush by a wide margin in 2004.

But Kerry told his decidedly outnumbered constituents - with a little humor - that their efforts in the presidential election were appreciated.

"You all did everything humanly possible,"� Kerry said. "You did everything except move to Ohio."

Kerry's appearance in Morristown was part of a day's worth of appearances across New Jersey, including stops in Paramus, Wayne, Edison and Lawrenceville. Corzine, who appeared at the other stops, did not attend the Morris County event because he had another engagement.

TRENTON, N.J. - Former presidential candidate John Kerry made a swing through New Jersey on Saturday, appearing at a series of events to rally Democratic Party faithful.

Kerry called on Democrats to volunteer and support their gubernatorial candidate, Jon Corzine, in what the Massachusetts senator predicts will be a tough election.

"Jon Corzine has put out a lot more thoughtful and detailed proposals about what he wants to do as governor, and I think the Republicans are trying to drag him down with lies and smear tactics," Kerry told The Associated Press in a phone interview.

Meanwhile, Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Forrester spent the day crisscrossing south Jersey, glad-handing voters and using the one-on-one contact to push his proposal to lower the state's highest-in-the-nation property taxes.
