Sen. Kerrey Stumps For Walt Minnick

Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey calls the Democrat challenging Idaho Sen. Larry Craig just the kind of independent, business-oriented candidate who can make a dramatic difference in Congress.

And while Republican leaders and the White House continue arguing about how to balance the budget in seven years, Kerrey said on Thursday that he even believes in Walt Minnick’s plan to do it in one.

The chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee visited the Veterans Administration Hospital in Boise as part of a fourcity campaign swing through Idaho with Minnick, the former president and chief executive officer of TJ International in Boise.

The two stopped in Pocatello before Boise, and planned appearances in Lewiston later Thursday and Post Falls today.
