In Enemy Territory, Republicans Fight the Democratic Party Line

BOSTON, July 26 - In case anyone missed the fact that Senator John Kerry was booed at Fenway Park on Sunday night or that Teresa Heinz Kerry told a newspaper reporter to "shove it," a few dozen Republicans made sure these tidbits were not lost in the Democrats' overflow of scripted e-mail messages and the happy television chitchat bubbling up from their convention.

The Bush campaign and the Republican National Committee have temporarily transplanted their "war room" from suburban Virginia to a small bunker just two blocks from the Fleet Center, where the Democrats are expected to nominate Mr. Kerry for president on Thursday night.

John Feehery, who in Washington is a spokesman for the Republican speaker of the House, J. Dennis Hastert, is among those encamped at the bunker here. He managed to obtain a credential that allowed him into the Fleet Center on Monday afternoon and to circulate among news organizations, handing out his memorandum mentioning Mr. Kerry's reception at Fenway and his wife's remark. (Credentials won by the other side are by now a standard feature of war-room tactics; most emanate from lobbyists in Washington who like to play both sides.)
