Kerry | Kerry at Ground Zero OhiO

Senator John Kerry got up up this morning at Ground Zero and saw his profile opposite President Bush’s on the front page of the Columbus Dispatch.

The graphic headline: NECK and NECK. The Dispatch Ohio poll numbers: Bush 47 percent. Kerry 44 percent. Nader 2 percent. Undecided 7 percent.

It reflects other polls in Ohio this week that show Bush and Kerry virtually tied with Bush up a little in the Strategic Vision Poll and Kerry up in the American Research Group poll.

Kerry doesn’t need the polls to realize Ohio is Ground Zero. He is also meeting with Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman and discussing a nomination speech for the Fleet Center in Boston.

At this hour Kerry is attending church in Columbus and will soon go to a north side swing ward that Bush won by 12 votes in 2000.

Next weekend, Kerry and Bush will be campaigning within 25 miles of each other at the same time — just down the road from Ohio’s capital in Zanesville and Cambridge.
