Kerry is saying he planned the baseball game appearance a week ago. If so, then why were the press buses, staff rental cars, TV news vans, Kerry/Edwards campaigners ALL WAITING with engines running, etc at the airport in Florida???
I was there and went up to a Kerry worker and asked where the public was going to be able to stand. He said he didn't know. I asked what time Kerry was supposed to land. He said he didn't know. He said basically none of the workers there knew what was going on. He said to me: "You know about as much as I do."
I'm thinking this was a last minute change.
A man with 5 homes to choose from, who does not attend to a job that he is being paid to do, would think nothing of having people waiting uselessly as decoys. IF he thought at all about the people waiting in Florida tonight, he probably had warm thoughts about how important he is, making all the little people wait for nothing! And they will have to come back at One am or so.
He is used to having people revolve around him.
The Times already listed him on Friday as going to the game. I'm telling you, the whole last-minute diversion thing was done for dramatic effect. Why should he care about the little people in Florida, when he can get face time on ESPN all evening?

I'm thinking this was a last minute change. So did anyone ever hear why Kerry changed his schedule? Somehow I doubt it was his love for America's pasttime.
