MIAMI, March 3 (UPI) -- The 2004 presidential campaign began Wednesday with a visit to Orlando, Fla., by John Kerry, who outlined his homeland security plans.
The announcement by Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards that he is dropping out of the race rendered next Tuesday's Florida primary moot, but now it's time for the real action as Kerry, the Democrats' presumptive nominee, now mounts the campaign to unseat President Bush.
Kerry outlined his plans for homeland security, promising to pay more money for "first-responders" to terrorism such as police and firefighters.
He told an overflow crowd he is calling for tighter port security for airlines and shipping interests.
Kerry also collected an endorsement from the International Union of Police officers.
The appearance and others in the state were originally scheduled with next week's primary in mind.

I'm having a hard time picturing Americans voting for a gigolo who looks like Ed Muskie and sounds like Jim from Taxi.
