Unlike Bush, Kerry set to meet with undecided voters during visit

Aug. 17 – When John Kerry returns to New Hampshire Thursday he will be doing one thing that the President Bush didn’t do two weeks ago: meet with undecided voters.

In contrast to a Republican picnic in Stratham where President Bush spoke to his base, plans in the works for Kerry’s event highlighting the cost of health care will purposefully include undecided voters, the Kerry campaign said.

When asked about the contrast, Bush-Cheney spokeswoman Maria Comella said the campaign never asked party registration before passing out tickets to their event.

"We did not ask individuals who requested tickets what their party registration is because we know the President has broad based support. The campaign distributed tickets to everybody who wanted to see President Bush and actually had to turn people away. I don't think the Kerry campaign has that problem. And that's a good problem to have," Comella said.

Details of where and what time the event will take place on Thursday have not been released. The event is expected to take place in Southern New Hampshire and focus on the cost of health care.

In preparation to the trip, the Bush campaign will hold a press conference in Portsmouth on Wednesday, which will have area doctors discussing the need for medical malpractice insurance reform.

Thursday’s trip will be the second time that Kerry has visited the state since winning the New Hampshire presidential primary in late January. His last visit was in the spring at a University of New Hampshire rally.

In the same period, Bush has visited the state three times.

All of these visits, and over $2 million spend on advertising by the two campaigns, can all be evidence of the role New Hampshire is expected in the upcoming presidential election.

The latest polls of likely New Hampshire voters show Kerry up slightly over Bush, but within the margin of error.

1. She's probably right.

They only asked for a signed statement of support. That is even worse.

2. They don't ask party afiliation. Just demand signing of promise

to support Bush/Cheney. She was spinning very well with that one! Told the truth, but left out the facts, all at the same time!

Idiot!!!!

4. When I headed the thread "Snarky bitch," I mean this...

"We did not ask individuals who requested tickets what their party registration is because we know the President has broad based support. The campaign distributed tickets to everybody who wanted to see President Bush and actually had to turn people away. I don't think the Kerry campaign has that problem. And that's a good problem to have," Comella said.


In other words, we have so many people who want to come to our events that we have to turn them away. Nobody wants to see Kerry.

Not just snarky, but flat out full of shit. And reported as if she said the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

Other than letting this go by unchallenged, even just in print, pretty good article.

9. Of course they have to turn people away

They're playing in closed venues with limited room. Whereas Kerry is appearing in open areas - from what I understand, there were over 50,000 people at his appearance in Portland!

8. Regular Hall of Shame, huh?

They're not "snarky" - they're "evil." There's a difference.
