Labor day front porch event (Becky Diamond)
There was news at this event and it was the most dynamic and interesting event I have seen in quite some time. Amidst sustained and loud jeers of "four more years" by Bush supporters and cheers of his own supporters, the Democratic candidate began his three-state Labor Day tour with a front porch event in Cannonsburg, PA, where he focused on jobs and the economy.
This was the most polarized event I have seen on the trail with supporter of President Bush yelling throughout Senator Kerry's speech and the candidate's supporters shouting back and the candidate hitting back on the stump. There were approximately fifty Bush supporters, including a very vocal group of about ten who were drinking lots of Busch beer. Senator Kerry stayed on message and delivered a short and focused speech, taking questions instead of talking endlessly to the crowd.
