President Bush to address crowd at Superior Dome rally in Marquette

MARQUTTE, Mich. (AP) — President Bush plans to address a crowd during a rally at Northern Michigan University's Superior Dome as part of his Tuesday campaign swing through the Upper Peninsula.
A smaller event featuring remarks by Bush had been planned for Lakeview Arena, but organizers decided to hold the rally at the Superior Dome to accommodate a larger crowd, Bush campaign spokeswoman Merrill Smith said Sunday.
Bush is campaigning by bus this week in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, all states that Democrat Al Gore won four years ago and where the president is locked in close races against Democrat John Kerry.
It will be Bush's second bus tour of Michigan and Wisconsin in the past two months.
Bush took his first bus trip in May, a two-day jaunt through Michigan and Ohio. He rolled across the two battleground states to rally support for the war in Iraq and energize grass-roots support in the swing states.
Bush lost Michigan in 2000 by 5.2 percentage points, fell short in Wisconsin in 2000 by just 5,708 votes and came up 2.4 percentage points behind Gore in Minnesota.
Tell Mr. Bush "hello" from the Michigan Trolls.
This recipe looks similar to the one I have used & comes complete with reviews:
"Some people may not know how remote the area is."
If note for the Electoral College it would be just as remote as the Dakotas, Iowa or almost any state not touching a coastline.
Looks delicious... thank you
Many years ago, I used to make pasties at the old Finlandia downtown there - I think Terry at The Vierling has done a better job with the place. ;-)
Mayhap I'll see you down at the Dome - I'll be there with bells on, eh.
Think it's the bagies. The Cornish version appears to use turnips, instead. There's other differences, however.
We'll see if we can stand in good stead for you flatlanders. ;-)
