Its not exactly the night before Christmas or New Years Eve but, c'mon on this night before Super Tuesday ... aren't you ready for primary day? Its been weeks, if not months, in the making. And, the last few days ... OPRAH ... THE KENNEDYS ... even JOHN KERRY!

Senator John Kerry was the last to make a run at the White House for the Democrats and now he's stumping for Obama.

I spent a few minutes speaking with the Senator from Massachusetts. His message was all about why Obama had a better chance of beating a republican in November than Hillary Clinton. "I'm not against anyone" his campaigning for Obama is more about "who he's for".

Back when he ran for president we had a chance to chat at UCLA. He was there for a debate and I was assigned to do a story about politicians and how music plays a role in their campaigns. He talked to me about his Beatles collection and the music he loves. Somehow that conversation hasalways stuck with me. Guess because I've always loved the Beatles.

Fast forward to the new interview. It's 4:15pm the Monday before Super Tuesday. He's in New England ... I'm here at the FOX11 studios. With the help of satellite communications he tells me all about why he likes Obama, how he thinks Obama can bring people together and change the country. And, with the insight that only a guy like Kerry could have, he tells me that Clinton and Obama have got to be pretty tired right now and probably will need a rest after Super Tuesday. He knows. When it comes to primaries, he's been there ... done that!
