Kerry campaigns at City College

<<"American soldiers are bearing the huge majority, the lion's share, of the risk in Iraq," he said. "It doesn't have to be the way, it never had to be that way."

But when a reporter asked Kerry whether the war and occupation were failures, the presumptive Democratic nominee moderated his criticism.

"No, it's not a failure today," he said. "It's just much more difficult, much more costly, much more risky and much more damaging than it had to be."

That attitude didn't sit well with some in the CCNY crowd who wanted Kerry, a decorated Navy veteran of the Vietnam war who turned against the military action after returning home, to take a more strident stance.>>

1. Kerry's leading New York by twenty points.
So why is Kerry campaigning at City College?

2. If you lead by twenty points, that's fundraising central...
The Massachusetts senator made his comments in Harlem, then sped downtown to collect $6.5 million at three fund-raisers. He's expected to raise another $2.4 million at a Democratic National Committee event this morning
