Kerry Priases MOSH!

John Kerry Promises Young People The Truth, Talks Eminem At Campaign Stop
http://www.mtv.com/chooseorlose/headlines/news.jhtml?id=1493314

The biggest differences are that the trees still have leaves on them, the temperatures are above freezing, and the Red Sox fans are no longer depressed, but by and large the end of John Kerry's campaign for the presidency looks very much like it did in the beginning here in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Manchester's bars, diners and city hall are again the backdrop for the campaign of Senator Kerry, last Democrat standing from a primary season that kicked off nearly 11 months ago. Back then, Kerry defied expectation, coming from behind in the Iowa caucuses to upset Howard Dean, former governor of Vermont. On Sunday, Kerry talked about defying expectation yet again — he hopes to win New Hampshire back for the Democrats (it was a red state in 2000) by hammering at President Bush's record and portraying himself as the champion of middle-class values. "I'm a strong closer" he told the crowd of thousands, many of whom brought children still dressed for Halloween trick-or-treating. But a strong close for Kerry means pulling off a Red Sox-esque upset — an analogy the senator was not beyond making himself — as final tracking polls put him behind Bush, but well within the margin of error.

With fewer than 48 hours to go, Senator Kerry talked to MTV News for the fifth time during this campaign, taking questions about how he'd rep young voters, what he'd do to catch Osama bin Laden, and the political implications of Eminem's "Mosh," a topic we'd only begun to broach when his body men whisked him away to rally his base as the seconds ticked down.

Gideon Yago: Hi Senator, good to see you again. What is it you're hearing from young people on the road? What do they expect from you if you're elected president?

1. I was at that rally on Halloween
in Manchester, NH..I didn't get to see Kerry because the stage was too low and there were too many people to manuever but the excitment was tangible.

And New Hampshire has no registration for voting ..so people can go out to tomorrow and register and vote at the same time!

2. I beg all to please honor Governor and Dr. Howard Dean for his
ability and vision at the beginning of the campaign process to restore Democracy by making every American aware that they have the power to choose the destiny of their Nation.

It was Dr Dean who spoke to the forgotten youth, empowered and listened to their voices. It was Dr Howard Dean who began the process of bringing prople to the fore.
It was the "Dean Scream" heard round the world alright!
And if not for that passion, both voice and voter supression would have kept millions of people silent in this campaign.

Dr. Dean has managed to step from virtually nowhere, to be the biggest vocal asset and the one man from the biginning, who lit a raging fire amoung young voters across this nation. These voters will play a critical role in "handing Bush a one way ticket back to Crawford Texas", tomorrow.

Thanks Dr. Dean
