A new Strategic Vision poll in Michigan was just released and it has Kerry widening his lead (he's now ahead 49-40)...This is interesting since Cheney spent the day running around in western Michigan firing up the CONservative base -- he's wasting his time but I won't tell him that. -s2@MichiganWILLgoForKerry.com

Kerry in Iowa ~ Supporters brave long lines, cool temps for rally By Matt Neznanski October 15, 2004 DES MOINES - Thousands upon thousands of supporters waited for admission Thursday to hear the top of the Democratic ticket just a day after the final presidential debate. The line to see Sens. John Kerry and John Edwards snaked back and forth on itself across the Midway lot at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. People wrapped themselves in blankets, shared gloves and were haunted by campaign workers seeking volunteers and hawkers selling campaign T-shirts, buttons, hats and stickers. Despite the three-hour wait and temperatures that dipped into the upper 30s, spirits remained high among those shuffling slowly but steadily toward the entrance gate. "We're from Iowa. We can take it," said Laura Meyer two hours into the wait. She lives in Pella but travels through 37 counties for her job. Meyer worked in her precinct for Democratic nominee Al Gore four years ago and said she was "disappointed" by the results of the 2000 election. This time, she's also planning to volunteer on Election Day. "I'll give rides, I'll do anything," she said. Vic Johnson, who drove in from Bondurant, wore a Marine Corps hat to the rally. A Vietnam veteran, Johnson said he was "livid" about accusations about Kerry's military service. "(After the Vietnam War) I didn't go to Washington and protest, but I came home and told everyone I knew that we were not there for what they told us," Johnson said. "Kerry was right then, and he's right now." If anything, Kerry and Edwards faced an easy crowd at the late-night rally, where people stood shoulder to shoulder once inside the cordoned-off area. Some waved brooms suggesting a "sweep" of the debates by Kerry. Others waved "343" signs implying the same. Campaign staffers kept a steady stream of signs going into the crowd. Kerry got big cheers when he blasted President Bush's debate performance. He also talked about campaigning in Iowa, something he and other Democratic hopefuls, including Edwards, started almost a year and a half ago. All told, Kerry, Edwards and their wives spoke for just over 30 minutes. Then the crowd broke and made its way back to acres of cars. Todd Andrews and Justine Komin took on a 500-mile round trip from Lincoln, Neb., to see the candidates. They arrived at 6:20 p.m. and were leaving after 10 p.m. Andrews said the trip had been worth it, and he heard what he wanted from the nominee. "Definitely," Andrews said. "I've been hearing it all along." zwire.com
