Kerry Plans to Respond to Bush Speech

[JI7]

<Hours after George W. Bush is to accept the Republican Party's nomination for re-election in New York on Thursday night, Democrat John Kerry plans to respond at Ground Zero of the presidential campaign - Ohio.

Kerry is kicking off the general election in the battleground state that Bush won in the last race, as has every other Republican who's ever been elected president.

Kerry plans a rally in Springfield, Ohio, just before midnight Thursday evening with his running mate John Edwards and their wives. Then the Democratic nominee plans a two-day bus tour to the Ohio cities of Newark, Akron and Steubenville.

Kerry is dispatching his three partners to Midwest battlegrounds that Democrat AlGore won narrowly in 2000 - Teresa Heinz Kerry to Iowa, John Edwards to Wisconsin and Elizabeth Edwards to Michigan.

The tours come after Kerry kept a low profile at his family's Nantucket home during most of the Republican National Convention, with one notable exception. Kerry plans interrupt his getaway Wednesday to speak to the American Legion in Nashville, Tenn.>

6. Personally I find it pretty hard to be pessimistic

the Bush campaign is in total disarray -- they've been trying to shore up their base for months, the wheels are coming off the administration, a half million people in the streets of New York protesting Bush, the Republicans reduced to attacking the military of all things -- and the best closer in politics as our candidate. Life is good.
