A Bun, a Soda and Thou… (Interesting Kerry/Edwards Campaign Stop)

Edwards happily approached a table of Marines, who didn't look like they wanted to be distracted from their combos. Kerry, who always gravitates toward men and women in uniform, came over and asked the men, "Where are you guys serving?"

Their answers were clipped. Later, the Marines -- none of whom would give his name -- said they were Bush supporters. "He imposed on us and I disagree with him coming over here shaking our hands," one said. "I'm 100 percent against" Kerry, he said. "We support our commander in chief 100 percent."

Heinz Kerry was told that Newburgh is heavily Republican and a local television reporter asked her how she felt "in the heart of enemy territory."

Sipping her drink, she responded, "It's not enemies. It's Americans. We're all Americans."

She called the next few months of the campaign "the last sprint" after many months on the campaign trail, and then another reporter asked how she was handling all the scrutiny. "I'm 65 years old. What am I going to do about scrutiny? You have to live your life."
