and media advisor to the swift boat veterans for truth, that john kerry didn't deserve his war medal. in 2006, he did some more work for the republican national committee, which brought him to run ad campaigns against democratic senate candidates. do you remember the really not subtle race-baiting ads that was run against tennessee democrat harold ford? you can thank terry nelson for that. >> i met harold at the "playboy" party. >> the republican national committee is responsible for the content of this advertising. >> harold, call me. >> yeah that, one, ultimately pulled off the air by the republican party and the widespread revulsion it caused led walmart to fire terry nelson and his consulting firm because of it. i don't know if he counts as a political key operative, or a high-level strategist, but either way, he does represent a meaningful choice for governor pawlenty. also named is a senior advisor for mr. pawlenty and praised by the media is a person named sarah taylor, taylor was george w. bush's white house political director from 2005 to 2007. why would somebody leave a job

kerry helped convince afghan president hamid karzai to agree to a runoff election. fraud investigators say more than 1 million ballots from the august votes were invalid. karzai needed some persuading for a revote. kerry shared his own similar experiences like his tough decision not to challenge votes from the '04 presidential election. >>> police may have stopped another columbine. a 15-year-old new york boy is at a psychiatric hospital for allegedly plotting to attack his former high school. investigators say they found gasoline and fuses and that he'd been trying to buy an assault rifle. police say his parents had no idea it was going on. that's the part that other parents could relate to. >> sometimes we just, as parents, just really don't know what's going on in that child's room, unfortunately. >> he must be very troubled. >> police say that the boy admitted being angry with kids at the school because he had been bullied. investigators believe he was planning the attack for april 20th, the same day as the columbine high school killings in 1999. >>> a public op

we know it is no capital -- capt buying kerry and boxer.now it has a loyal and enthusiastic crew. we also know that must be navigated through fog and storm. we have strong hearts and confidence that it can bear us and the country, the world we love and depend on to a safer shore and to a more secure american future. thank you for being in this fight with us. >> thank you, sheldon. i have poets. i have everything. we're so lucky to have two and i heard that one of their signs was "vote for the udall nearest you." we have both of them here today. he is focused so hard on making sure this bill is well balanced and to make sure we get the support we need. he wants to make sure we do not forget the indian nations that we work with every day. that is senator tom udall from mexico. -- from a new mexico. it cannot be repeated enough that the leadership that senators drawn carey and barbara boxer have given on this bill. i ask you again to show your appreciation. it has been great to see them. today's event is evidence of a duet of, do it right appr

legitimate military service of mccain, me, and kerry. so that's where they crossed the line.e our servi, don't take it away. >> rose: and how did you take the defeat? >> i went down in my life worse than any time i ever went down in my life. i came toç a point where i didt want to live. i never tried to commit suicide, but i didn't want to live anymore. because basically the way that i coped with massive injurie coming back from my war was through politics, public service. public service is me. i'm not a private sector guy, never will be. it just is not going to happen. i'm a public service guy. so when i lost, i had the powerful feeling that the people of georgia had turned their back on me. that was my family in many ways. i'm an only child and now my mother's gone, i have my father. but the people of georgia were in effect my family. that's who i served. when they turned their back on me and voted for somebodyç els, when the nation was at risk in many ways, who had never served in the military and the campaign of which lied about me and basically my ability to defend the

>> this came out of john kerry, democrat from massachusetts, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. he wanted to make it clear that in this meeting, no one is talking about bugging out of afghanistan and withdrawn all of our troops. he says no one is talking about pursuing counterterror strategy is only in afghanistan. he said those are straw man being put up by critics. he says we need to focus on what we can actually accomplish, and that is the subject of this meeting. shepard: james, thank you. as folks discuss the situation on other sides of the planet, the battles rage in afghanistan in real time, and the situation there gets worse. steve is tracking developments from the pentagon tonight. we are hearing about a new attack against the coalition, boy. -- the coalition convoy. >> two nato troops were injured when this convoy came under attack from some kind of explosive, probably an ied. this is clearly still a weapon of choice among insurgents and terrorists in afghanistan. but the there was another similar instance southwest of kabul, where there was a small arms inc
