They're a lot of us who don't agree with Kerry on some things. Myself, I'll hold the fractious quibbling until after the election, over the grave of the odious Presidency of George W. Bush. With the mountain gone, the molehills can be flattened.

15,000 people braved what local officials described as the hottest day of the year while they waited for a fleet of Kerry/Edwards tour buses to arrive. Nearly 100 people had to be treated for heat exhaustion or dehydration, according to Scranton Fire Chief Tom Davis. The size of the crowd surprised both city and campaign officials, who claimed the turnout was a reflection of the vitality of both. Kerry campaign volunteers left the rally scene and returned with water cooler jugs and passed cups through the crowd. Nevins took a case of water from the national media tent to hand out bottles to wheelchair-using senior citizens who were baking in the afternoon sun and dangerously high humidity. And when Kerry tried to introduce to the crowd his younger daughter, third-year medical student Vanessa, she had gone to administer first aid to a man who had passed out. The crowd extended for blocks in either direction from the site of the rally, between the Lackawanna County Courthouse and the federal courthouse across the street. Dozens of federal employees watched the scene from windows. The first men to step off the bus were Secret Service agents, who nonetheless were greeted with screams and chants of ''Kerry! Kerry!'' mcall.com
