Tailgating Candidates

So I couldn't help but notice that John Kerry and George Bush keep campaigning in the same area. That's right, first they went to West Virginia and Ohio--within miles of each other--to fight over the backwater vote, and this week Bush is following Kerry to New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, California, and Oregon. Sometimes they've visited the same states a few days apart--but they're both in LA today and in Portland tomorrow. Here's my source.

Give me a break! The country's not big enough for the two of these guys? Even if you argue that there are only 15-20 swing states that actually matter, that's still plenty of room in which to campaign without bumping into each other. This week Bush is following Gore, so I'll gladly blame him for being uncreative. (Like he has a chance in hell of winning California anyway!?)

But they're both being ridiculous. Laugh about it here.
