In the largest political rally of his campaign, President Bush was greeted by nearly 50,000 cheering supporters Monday afternoon at the Voice of America Park in West Chester Township. Bush's arrival just before 4:30 p.m. ended a day-long bus tour that made several stops in the GOP stronghold of southwestern Ohio, including Cedarville, Springfield and Xenia.
" As his bus rolled into the West Chester park, Bush enthusiastically bounded onto the stage without a coat or tie, in a blue-checkered shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
"It lifts my spirits to see so many people," Bush said. "It's a good sign when this many people come to a rally."
