John Kerry has cancelled plans to campaign in Connecticut tomorrow:

George Jepsen, chairman of the state Democratic Party, said Wednesday evening that “the logistics don’t work out” for the Massachusetts senator to travel to West Hartford the day after he is expected to be nominated as the Democratic candidate for president.

Kerry will instead head to Pennsylvania, one of several battleground states between him and President Bush, Jepsen said.

“We recognize that Connecticut is not a target state because we’re solidly in Kerry’s camp,” Jepsen said.

So I won’t be just barely missing him yet again, after all.

Still no word yet on when the Newburgh, NY event is scheduled for. If that one isn’t cancelled too, and if it’s sometime after midday Saturday, I plan to be there.

More details on what Senator Joe might say tonight:

BOSTON — Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, in what he said was a preview of his scheduled Thursday speech before the Democratic National Convention, told a group of Jewish Democrats honoring him here Monday that it was time to do ideological battle with “Islamic terrorists.”

In remarks to about 200 people at a luncheon sponsored by the National Jewish Democratic Council, which calls itself the national voice of Jewish Democrats, Lieberman said those who want to crush terrorism must understand that “differing visions of what God is” are at the root of the problem. …

…”We are in a war against terrorism, but it’s really a war against Islamic terrorism. We’re going to win it, not only on the battlefield, but by reaching out and building bridges to the Muslim moderates. I’m going to speak about some of that on Thursday, but also about the war in Iraq. I continue to believe very strongly that we did the right thing in overthrowing Saddam Hussein.”
