President Bush and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry will both be campaigning in the Pittsburgh region next Saturday, seeking Pennsylvania votes and control of the news cycles following the Democratic convention.

Bush will be off the campaign trail for the four days of the Democratic convention but will reemerge Friday for a series of appearances in Ohio. He will travel on Saturday to the neighboring battleground state of Pennsylvania for an appearance in Pittsburgh.

The same day, just a few miles up Route 30, Kerry and his running mate, North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, will appear at an afternoon rally in Greensburg, the third Pennsylvania stop in a post-convention bus tour. The Democratic standard-bearers will be coming from Scranton, where they'll appear Friday, the day after Kerry accepts his nomination, and from a rally later that same day on the state Capitol steps in Harrisburg, with Gov. Ed Rendell and other members of the state Democratic hierarchy.

The itinerary for the Democratic bus tour is reminiscent of the post-convention bus tour followed by former President Bill Clinton and his running mate, Al Gore, after the 1992 Democratic convention.

2. Finally

Kerry will be in my home town on a day that I do not have a race scheduled and I do not have to work. This is my chance to get out and see him.

When? Where? I live in Cranberry off I-76 and have no idea where anything is in Greensburg
