...say you would do it the same way."

The quote, in context (regarding the flu vaccine shortage):

"According to Kerry, Bush was first tipped off about the impending crisis three years ago but refused to act. "It's just business as usual with George W. Bush: You got to ignore it, deny it, then try to hide it, and then say you would do it the same way," he said. Various groups have warned of potential shortages for years; British officials say the U.S. government was warned in mid-September of possible disruptions at the Liverpool plant."

A Washington Post poll shows the candidates even in Florida, where early voting will begin on Monday. Bush made three stops there Saturday, and planned four more stops on Monday and Tuesday in hopes of winning the state by more than his 537-vote margin in 2000. The president was accompanied at each stop by first lady Laura Bush and by his younger brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who said he was "proud of my commander in chief, and my brother."

Edwards was in suburban Miami Saturday, kicking off the Democratic ticket's 12-city, five-day tour of the state. At a rally in Miami Gardens, he stepped up his rhetoric, saying that Republicans will be "up to their old tricks" and potentially engage in voter fraud to win the state's 27 electoral votes.

"We know what's coming. Republicans are already up to it," Edwards said to the largely black crowd, prompting a wave of boos. Edwards was responding to news reports here that suggested that Jeb Bush ignored advice to abandon a flawed election voter list before it went out to county election offices, even after he was warned by state officials that some voters -- mostly black -- could be disenfranchised.
