From the Boston Globe: “Old Kerry Digs up for Rent”

What's in a name? Maybe $19,900. That's what the owner of a Colonial-style home in Groton is asking in rent for the week of the Democratic National Convention. If that seems like a lot for one week, it is, but then John Kerry's family used to live in the house. Listed on a DNC website, the 3,000-square-foot residence is hardly handy to the FleetCenter, but it does have a wet bar and butler's pantry -- a nice amenity if you're bringing your butler to the convention. Kerry's parents moved into the house in 1962 and left in 1977. Carol Molloy, a lawyer who owns the place these days, is hoping a wealthy admirer of the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate will rent it. How many calls has she gotten so far? "I haven't heard anything," she said yesterday.

No takers to stay in the home of a future President? You can see where Kerry’s butler worked!
