News from the Kerry Campaign in Spring Green:

Kerry wades into high school/middle school politics

Kerry apparently spoke at the River Valley Middle School, which irked some students at the high school.

As Sen. John Kerry left the town hall meeting Monday at River Valley Middle School, jealousy reigned next door at the high school.

"I thought it was stupid that they went there - none of them can even vote," said senior Alex Radel, 17.

Kerry's people say no slight was intended.

I wonder if anybody from the Kerry campaign realized their detractor couldn't vote, either. Unless his birthday is sometime in the next five weeks, you can call him the irony-laden moron he is and still have four years to win him back for the next election.

And, should the voting age be raised higher than 18? Let's ask Parker Gates:

even those students left behind were talking about Kerry.

"For this hick town, it's a big deal," said senior Parker Gates, 18, who was riffing with friends about Kerry's visit over lunch.

"His wife's been seen walking around," said junior Davon Noltner, 17.

"Is she hot?" asked Gates. (Teresa Heinz Kerry did indeed spend Sunday night in Spring Green, the campaign confirmed.)

I wonder: did the reporter choose the word "riffing?"
