Again, anyone in the Pittsburgh area on Friday, there will be a Kerry rally @ Pitt main campus. Doors open at 9 am, the event, I believe, starts at 11 am. It is the final day of Kerry's campus tour, so I would expect a rather important policy speech.

Speaking of Kerry's campus tour, this is a pretty good idea. Kerry, while portraying himself as a man of the people, is staying out of the range of Bush shooting himself in the foot. While Kerry is out parading his college tax credit program, Bush is on the defensive from Iraq fallout and slipping poll numbers. Kerry does remain topical however, throwing in only soundbytes of criticism on Iraq. He is striking a perfect balance at this time, and the negative ads from Bush seemed to have had no effect. While he is at it, he gets to echo a view that quite a few in the US hold: bring internationalism to Iraq. All in all, this month will be a good one for John Kerry politically, one that may firmly put John Kerry as the front runner for President in November.
