Hmmm...wonder why the Plain Dealer said TWO thousand people were at Westgate Park, "braving an intermittent rain"??
They also reported Kerry "took in around $800,000" which isn't quite as exciting as a million, but that was at the Cinci fund-raiser and not at the Cols. "rally"...
But what really irks me is this ad that was right in the middle of the P.D. "on-line" story:

I know advertising is up for grabs, but Bush/Cheney should've grabbed that spot...looks like the PD is endorsing Kerry, but it's just a paid-for ad!!! Grrr.
I think it's time to start talking to our neighbors here...
Republicans deem Kerry to be a dolphin COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 17 (UPI) -- A pair of Ohio Republicans tried to drown out a speech by U.S. presidential hopeful John Kerry, playing the "Flipper" from speakers set up on their lawn. The Washington Post said the Wednesday incident occurred as Kerry made an outdoor campaign speech pitching the Democratic stance on reduced taxes for the middle class in Columbus, Ohio. To organizers' dismay, the theme song from the television show continually increased in volume from two stadium-size speakers. Apparently referring to Kerry's record of taking more than one side of an issue, the lyrics drowned out Kerry's microphone. "They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning / No one, you see, is smarter than he," the music blasted. Campaign workers ordered the media bus to back up and block the sound, and Columbus police were dispatched. The music was turned down. Kerry acknowledged the prank. "If that's compassionate conservatism, ladies and gentlemen, then Dick Cheney is Mr. Rogers," he said.
