Not expecting anyone to read the article, but the long and short of it is that the headline says Bush for president, yet the body of the story is a scathing indictment on Bush.


Can someone in Colorado explain this?

TOLEDO, Ohio - Count Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) of Massachusetts among those Boston baseball fans who have waited a lifetime to see the Red Sox win the World Series (news - web sites). President Bush (news - web sites) says he's excited, too.


Kerry, wearing a Red Sox cap as he bounded into a morning rally in Toledo, recalled someone phoning a radio show early in the campaign and saying, "John Kerry won't be president until the Red Sox win the World Series." He exclaimed, "Well, we're on our way!"


Not everybody felt that way. Boston pitcher Curt Schilling, interviewed on ABC's "Good Morning America," said, "Tell everybody to vote. And vote Bush next week." Bush congratulated the team's owner and president by phone ? and thanked Schilling for his support.


The president watched part of the final game Wednesday night as the Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, completing a four-game sweep to win their first World Series title since 1918, said spokesman Scott McClellan. "This is a long time coming and he shares in their excitement at winning the World Series," McClellan said.


Kerry said, "I've been rooting for this day since I was a kid. ... This Red Sox team came back against all odds and showed America what heart is. In 2004, the Red Sox are America's team."

Didn't J. Damon also call themselves 'Cowboys' in the post game interview?

I like what the Cleveland Plain Dealer did with their endorsement which was to endorse neither! This sums up how rotten are choices are for President either Bush whom has been a utter failure (please tell me what he has accomplished in his 4 years) and Kerry who is all over the board.

From what I understand, the Editorial Board at the Plain Dealer voted, as is standard protocol, to endorse Kerry. But the publisher of the paper is a big Bush supporter, and told the board that he didn't care who they voted for, the paper was endorsing Bush. Fortunately, that story leaked out to other newspapers, and fearing the bad publicity, they chose to endorse no one even though the board had voted to endorse Kerry. The right-wing bias in the media never ceases to amaze me.

Unlike NY Times, Dan Blather, etc.

My local nuts went for Kerry. But it's a small paper around 175000 readers.
