"A senior aide to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on Thursday denied reports that the Kerry camp is angered by the current Israeli government's reported preference for U.S. President George W. Bush, adding that Kerry anticipates talks or a meeting with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon soon.

Haaretz reported Thursday that there was growing dissatisfaction in the U.S. Democratic Party and in John Kerry's campaign headquarters with the Israeli government's attitude toward them this election season."

"We expect that now that Kerry is formally the candidate the relationship with Sharon will strengthen, including conversations and possible meetings in the future," James Rubin, the Kerry campaign's senior advisor on foreign policy, told Haaretz.

Rubin rejected reports of a rift between Kerry and Jerusalem, saying that "even though there are many Jewish Democrats, with many different views, I can formally say that we have a very close and normal working relationship with the Sharon government."

Most of the Thug effort seems to be going toward the Puerto Rican vote in Orlando, the Cuban vote in Miami, and the Jewish vote in Ft. Lauderdale & Palm Beach.
