Kerry will be in Xenia, OH, tomorrow: Xenia is mostly black, poor, tornado fodder (it's been hit, dead on, an incredible three times in 20 years). It's solid Dem. Note that Kerry is NOT going to Dark County or even Cincy, where he might challenge for "undecideds." Going to Xenia is like Bush going to Cheyenne, Wyoming.

He's there to get the crowd in pics for the reporters in the state to cover him. It's the news coverage he's after which may say a lot that he can't go other places.

I dare say, I doubt the black vote will be there for him like Clinton/Gore

Guess the reports that Kerry has not sealed the deal with his core of black voters are correct.
