The Albuquerque Journal is reporting:
"After bounding onto the stage to the sound of Bruce Springsteen's "No Surrender," [Senator Kerry] received a special blessing from Chester Nez, a Navajo Code Talker.
Nez has vaulted into the national spotlight since giving the Boston Red Sox baseball team a Navajo blessing, first in April and then again before their pressure-packed American League Championship rematch with the New York Yankees. The team has since dispatched the Yankees and may be on the way to a world championship."
"I want the Red Sox to win the World Series," said Kerry, a Bostonian himself, after getting confirmation from someone in the crowd that the Sox were winning Game 3 of the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. "But the grand slam will be when we win the presidency. We're going to break two curses this year."
