The four widows of 9/11 victims known as the "Jersey Girls," the ones who essentially got the 9/11 Commission created, have backed Kerry for the presidency (this is a Salon article, so to read it you'll have to watch an ad):
Gathering at the National Press Club in Washington on Tuesday, the widows announced their endorsement of the Massachusetts Democrat for president, a move made "in good conscience and from our hearts," as former Bush supporter Kristen Breitweiser told the news cameras. "In the three years since 9/11, I could never have imagined I would be here today, disappointed in the person I voted for, for president," she said. Added fellow Jersey Girl Patty Casazza: "It was President Bush who thwarted our attempts at every turn."
