Kerry battles former state GOP strategist over Obama-McCain qualifications

[Mass]

This article left me totally confused and :banghead:

Was that a real event where these two people met and in this case, why would Kerry debate Tennant? The article is really lacking in details, so I am left wondering if this newspaper invented an event or if this event really took place?

Kerry battles former state GOP strategist over Obama-McCain qualifications

By Thor Jourgensen / The Daily Item
LYNN - Senator John Kerry says Republican presidential candidate John McCain is "out of touch," prompting Republican strategist Alexander Tennant to speculate Kerry was joking.

...

Tennant and Kerry offered sharply contrasting views this week of McCain's and Democrat Barack Obama's readiness for handling foreign policy.

Kerry, an early supporter of Obama, said his fellow Democrat "shows a much better grasp on Afghanistan than John McCain. Obama over a year ago laid out a plan for how to fight a real counterinsurgency."

1. Tennant is countering what Sen. Kerry said about Sn. McCain

He is a former chair of the MA GOP and former Congressional candidate. Sen. Kerry went on the news and backed Sen. Obama's views of the situation in Iraq and Obama's views on foreign policy. The Massachusetts GOP spokesman is saying that Sen. Kerry is wrong, that John McCain has a legitimate view and stronger view on Iraq and foreign policy.

Ah, the MA GOP disagrees with Sen. Kerry. No news there, it would be news if they didn't differ with him.
