Kerry tries to be man of people
By ADAM C. SMITH, Times Political Editor
Published May 13, 2004 ORLANDO - <snip>"The criticism you hear about him on TV is that he's cold and standoffish, but in this kind of setting he doesn't come off that way at all," said Virginia Burgos, an Orlando retiree, after the hourlong question-and-answer session.<snip>

<snip>But before the crowd at the Engelwood community center in a largely Puerto Rican area of Orlando, Kerry focused exclusively on health care. Several people in the audience complained about inadequate health benefits for veterans, and Kerry vowed to help.

"Folks, this administration has had no problem finding several trillion dollars in tax cuts for the people who have done the best in the United States of America," said Kerry, a Vietnam veteran. "I don't think that ought to happen at the expense of the people that wore the uniform for our country."<snip>

"If you entrust me with the presidency of the United States, the first legislation that I will introduce, within 24 hours of being sworn in, to the Congress of the United States is my plan to make the same health care plan that senators and congressmen get available and accessible to anybody in America and to make sure that health care is not a privilege for the elected and the connected. It's a right that (should be) accessible and affordable to all of America."<snip>

An internal poll completed Sunday for America Coming Together, a Democratic group independently mobilizing Florida Democrats, found 48 percent of likely Florida voters backed Kerry, 46 percent supported Bush and 3 percent backed Ralph Nader. The poll was conducted by the firm Hamilton Beattie & Staff, which surveyed 1,000 voters.<snip>
