Kerry Campaign Chief Laments Time Spent Courting Latvian Vote

Kerry campaign strategist Tad Devine today revealed in an interview with The Washington Post that deep divisions within the Democratic camp over whom to beckon into the Kerry fold may have wound up costing the Massachusetts senator the presidency.

"I kept saying, 'Forget the Latvians, let's go after the crucial East Timorian immigrant base', but, nooooo, some people in charge were too good to listen to me," said Devine.

Had Kerry won every East Timorian immigrant's vote this election he might have surged eleven to twelve votes in the polls, Devine asserts.
