Was Kerry really supposed to go to Florida today?

[tcfrogs]

I'm not getting into tin foil hat territory, but I heard the announcers on ESPN saying he was supposed to go to Cape Canaveral, but ended up going to Fenway. I assumed they were just joking around, but perhaps I'm wrong. I also saw a few posts here mentioning the same thing.

I just find it hard to believe that him showing up at the Sox/Yankees game was a huge surprise. I mean, he did throw out the first pitch, and that's usually arranged well in advance.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

1. Yes, he was supposed to go to FLA

2. I suspect that was a cover story

I read that Kerry planned this in secret last week.

3. Thanks

It seems (in retrospect) like a very natural move. Being from Mass., Yanks in town, before the convention opens, etc.

4. Sounds good to me

I certainly don't know. I think it was in a Yahoo news article someone posted.

gave the "Ole' Bronx cheer" to Dick (hurry up and get me the f*** out of here) Cheney and boooed his ass out of the ballyard!!!

8. I wasn't watching the game

Did Kerry get a huge amount of applause when he threw out the first pitch?:bounce:
