| EFL New York Post, July 25, 2004 So far, John Kerry has been an onlooker at his own convention. And how is this different from the rest of his life? Every day last week, the already-dark mood of his hometown grew surlier, as the extent of the convention's massive disruptions of daily life became ever more apparent. But the man who would lead the Free World essentially went MIA. He's hiding so his poll numbers will go up; everytime he opens his yap and gets big press, his numbers dive. *snip* Meanwhile, in the sweltering city, the heavy lifting of actually averting total chaos was left to two local pols — Boston's Democratic Mayor Thomas Menino and GOP Gov. Mitt Romney. |
