Breaking With Tradition

After a nineteen-hour Marathon Monday, Bush voted this morning in Crawford, Texas, before breaking traditions by making a campaign stop in Columbus, Ohio. Ostensibly to thank his volunteers, the real reason - the good reason - was to snag TV time on a repetitive yet well-watched news day, and possibly get a few more of his Ohio supporters out to the polls.

As predicted by InstantReplay, John Kerry one-upped the president by leading get-out-the-vote drives in both Milwaukee and Toledo. Obviously, a candidate can't be everywhere on Tuesday, but I don't think we're far away from the reality of each candidate working like a marathoner from 6am EST to 8pm PST. And heck, with Hawaii in play, a candidate could make a surprise appearance there if he could make it there from Oregon/Nevada in time!

All is fair in love, war, and politics.
