When the Senator emerged from the Vilsacks' two-story home, the press stood patient, poised with crystallizing snowballs in hand. The Senator sensed an ambush, but it was the First Lady who fired the shot heard round Mount Pleasant, starting a war she would not finish, and leaving the Senator to mount a one-man offensive.
Diving off the porch, the 60-year-old Senator quickly surveyed the scene and, without hesitation, took the most aggressive tactic possible, driving straight at his pen and pad-less opponents. A daring move, mind you, as he immediately faced hostile fire from ABC on the right. Doing his best "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," Kerry jumped and with both legs in the air managed to avoid what seemed to be an inevitable hit.
Kerry continued his counter-offensive, pointing his right index finger at his intended target: David Halbfinger of the New York Times . Halbfinger fired at solid pitch; the Senator was only glanced, slowed but not stopped, and thus forcing Halbfinger's retreat into the neighbor's yard. Picking up fresh arsenal from the Governor's ice-soaked lawn, the Senator and the reporter charged simultaneously, locking arms, before there was a final peace.
