"After worrying about their message, advertisements and grass-roots drive," President Bush's campaign "now has another concern on the horizon: the buzz generated by theatrical events, celebrity endorsements, and heavy supporter turnout on the other side, adding the glow of momentum to the Kerry campaign in a race that is locked in a statistical dead heat in most voter surveys," the
Boston Globe reports.
"Kerry, with the help of an occasional rock star joining him on stage, has sustained crowds into the tens of thousands since the convention in Boston, in a few instances clearly dwarfing the ticketed events President Bush tends to hold. Kerry, with fewer security concerns than a sitting president, can throw open his doors in ways Bush cannot, giving him a logistical advantage in building big audiences."
(The crowds) "generate a persistent story line in the local media wherever he goes: that the Kerry camp is more open to members of the public."
It's the fourth quarter; the home team's falling farther and farther behind; and it's looking increasingly likely that they are going to need a Hail Mary.
It's going to be an interesting 80 days. :wink:
