Liz, it ain't free. It comes at great cost of time and campaign funds, and Xenia is NOT a place that will generate "buzz" like Bush's visit to northern Cincy did a couple of weeks ago. I see it as totally defensive, just to make the media think he's still competitive here. Same with that inane leak that he was "ahead" by five points in his "internals." Maybe in the "internals" of goat entrails, but not in polls. Not here.

Why a defensive visit? He's gota get OH or FL. FL looks better for Bush than OH. You think he's got something telling him Florida is the better bet??

Just my "kook" opinion, but I think Kerry knows the election is already over. I honestly don't think the man ever wanted to be president---especially before the first debate, his body language showed it. He got a little jazzed with the power after debate #1, but then, well, Kerry is basically LAZY. He doesn't want to work like Algore did. Note he went to a frickin' SPA before the last debate and is always out moutain biking. This is not the sign of someone who really wants to be prez.

I think his internals show he's already lost OH and FL, and, thus, the election, and he's now hitting IA, WI, MI and PA just at the orders of She Who Must Not Be Named to keep the party competitive so that ALL of the senate candidates don't go down the toilet.

I swear to God I could horsewhip the GOP in NV and IL and AR for screwing up their senate races and not running competitive candidates. Folks, do you realize we could have had the 60 votes with a good candidate in Illinois, Arkansas, Washington, Nevada, and California?? Now, admittedly little Link Chaffee would bolt as soon as that happened, but we'd be able to pressure a couple of fence-sitting dems. AAAAGGGGHHHH.
