When John Kerry returns to New Hampshire Thursday he will be doing one thing that the President Bush didn’t do two weeks ago: meet with undecided voters.

In contrast to a Republican picnic in Stratham where President Bush spoke to his base, plans in the works for Kerry’s event highlighting the cost of health care will purposefully include undecided voters, the Kerry campaign said.

When asked about the contrast, Bush-Cheney spokeswoman Maria Comella said the campaign never asked party registration before passing out tickets to their event.

"We did not ask individuals who requested tickets what their party registration is because we know the President has broad based support. The campaign distributed tickets to everybody who wanted to see President Bush and actually had to turn people away. I don't think the Kerry campaign has that problem. And that's a good problem to have," Comella said.

1. She must not be watching the news

"The campaign distributed tickets to everybody who wanted to see President Bush and actually had to turn people away. I don't think the Kerry campaign has that problem."

Guess she didn't notice the 50k crowds.

5. That, my dear Ms. Comella, is an out and out lie...

I was a volunteer at Kerry's visit to Norfolk, VA on July 27th, and I worked as a ticket checker. The line went on into infinity and didn't stop until right up to the time that the event started. No one, absolutely, no one was turned away and the crowd was in excess of 5,000 people. These Bushbot campaign asshats couldn't lie their way out of a paper bag.
