A camouflage-clad Senator Kerry went goose hunting yesterday in Boardman, Ohio, before trading his hunting garb for the standard campaign suit and tie later in the day for an appearance in Columbus, Ohio. The senator picked up an endorsement from Dana Reeve, widow of Christopher Reeve, the actor who became an advocate for stem-cell research after he was paralyzed in a riding accident.
President Bush stopped at St. John’s Church Rectory in Downington, Pa., where he met with Cardinal Justin Rigali, the Catholic archbishop of Philadelphia, and delivered a sharp attack on Mr. Kerry’s plan to expand health care, insisting it would mean “bigger government with higher costs.”
WHERE THEY ARE TODAY
President Bush will spend the day in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.; Canton, Ohio; and St. Petersburg, Fla. He will overnight in St. Pete Beach, Fla. Senator Kerry will campaign in Milwaukee and Reno, Nev., today and will spend the night in in Pueblo, Colo.
POLLS
Messrs. Bush and Kerry are locked in a tie for the popular vote, according to an Associated Press poll. Mr. Kerry had 49% compared to 46% for Mr. Bush – both within the margin of error.
