3 Headlines to Bring Forward

1) Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and Russian prime minister Vladmir Putin have said that they back Bush.

2) Jesse Ventura in his own unique and bristly way sort of signaled that he is favoring Kerry for this upcoming election. (Note: Republicans begin spinning. Democrats begin boasting. But really, not much happened.)

3) Christopher Reeve is appearing in an ad for support of a California ballot measure that would devote $3 billion to stem cell experiments. He shot this ad just before he died. This is a measure that Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger supports.
