Kerry to stump in Bay Area today amid Vietnam clamor
- James Sterngold, Chronicle Staff Writer

Santa Monica -- John Kerry rolled into Democrat-friendly California on Thursday night, raising money and meeting with Hollywood supporters on a last campaign trip before next week's Republican convention.

Kerry's western swing took him to a Santa Monica fund-raiser Thursday and will bring him to San Francisco and Daly City today as he scrambled to deal with attacks on his military record in Vietnam...

...Kerry's dinner in Santa Monica drew the Democratic faithful. They were met by a handful of protesters who held a brief demonstration in front of the hotel, the Fairmont Miramar.

For 20 minutes or so, a couple of dozen protesters gathered across the street from the hotel. One wore a Flipper costume, complaining about Kerry's alleged flip-flops on some issues, and another wore a Grinch outfit, complete with a lime green mask, criticizing Kerry's claim to have been in Cambodia at one point during his tour of duty as a highly decorated naval officer during the Vietnam War.

Inside the hotel, singer Tony Bennett was the featured entertainment for the few hundred supporters who paid $5,000 a plate to hear Kerry speak in a modest-sized ballroom. Some of the stars who showed up included Anjelica Huston and her husband, the sculptor Robert Graham.

Some people in the audience were worried about Kerry's campaign...

LOL!

In spite of their attempted SPIN, apparently our little "street theater" DID get through to the Kerry RATs inside. :o)

As President Bush might say:

"Mission ACCOMPLISHED!"

Hahaha, I'm surprised that the writer didn't accuse President Bush of renting the costumes and hand lettering the signs himself!

They're starting to wring their hands, especially Zev Yaroslavsky :-)

Ron's organizing skills were paramount in finding this "top-secret" event, but through diligent handling of sources, he was able to scope it out. Follow us, he says, and you'll visit a political world few get to see!

LOL! Good job, Ron.
