Today is Sat the 4th...The date on the article is 9-5...the article says: (so maybe it means tomorrow...BUT see below...)Kerry is taking today off at his wife's farm in Fox Chapel, Pa., to celebrate the 31st birthday of his eldest daughter, Alexandra. Some of the criticism of Mr. Kerry's campaign was cosmetic. Several Democrats said they were not happy to see news photographs of Mr. Kerry windsurfing in the Atlantic waters off Nantucket during the convention, suggesting that it underlined the very image of Mr. Kerry - as a wealthy, culturally out-of-touch liberal - that the Republicans were trying to convey. This article from 9-4 says: Teresa H-K went to the Mason City IA hospital today...and her husband John was campaigning in Ohio.... Posted online: Sat Sep 4 20:09:07 CDT 2004 Teresa Heinz Kerry taken to Mason City hospital; presidential candidate’s wife complains of backache, feeling light-headed By JOHN SKIPPER, Of The Globe Gazette MASON CITY — Teresa Heinz Kerry, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, became ill in Mason City Saturday and was taken to Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa. She was being treated in the emergency room Saturday night. No condition report was available. Mrs. Kerry was talking about health care issues at the home of Steve Musson in Mason City when she complained about a backache and feeling light-headed. She put her hands to her head and said, “I don’t feel well.” At that point an aide told media representatives, “cameras off.” After about a minute, Heinz-Kerry resumed talking to Musson and five or six guests about health care issues and stayed another 45 minutes. She and her entourage, including Secret Service officials, then went to Mason City Municipal Airport to depart from Mason City. At the airport, the Secret Service requested an ambulance to check her vital signs. When the ambulance arrived, it was decided she should go to the hospital. She walked to the ambulance unassisted. No condition report was available Saturday night. It was not known whether her husband, campaigning in Ohio, had been notified. — More on this story will appear Sunday in the Globe Gazette and on Globe Online as details become available. globegazette.com
