Simon criticized for Kennedy endorsement response
Rep. Paul Simon is facing negative mail from constituents after becoming the first downstate Democrat to back Sen. Edward Kennedy for president. About 50 letters since Nov. 19 show a roughly 3 to 2 anti Kennedy tone, while supporters call for restraint and some suggest he could be a VP candidate. Simon’s campaign says straw poll indicates a Kennedy majority among district Democrats and plans to answer every letter.
