kerry is "open"
Kerry adviser Mike McCurry said it's important in the final days of the
campaign that voters "get a better sense of John Kerry, the guy." That means the Democratic senator is spending some of the dwindling time before Election Day hunting, talking about his faith and watching his beloved Boston Red Sox. --AP 
Apparently Kerry's handlers have decided Kerry needs more "guy" time. Which is great for the Bush campaign, since "guy" time has worked so poorly for Kerry thus far. Kerry talked up Ohio State football while in Michigan. He referred to Green Bay Packer's Lambeau Field as "the hallowed ground where the Packers play --Lambert Field." He skipped the ball short of home plate when he threw out the first pitch at Fenway field (later claiming to reporters he didn't want to hurt the catcher). He's a big fan of a Red Sox player that doesn't exist: Manny Ortez (what do you get when you cross Manny Ramirez with David Ortiz?). A few years before that he claimed his favorite Red Sox player of all time was Eddie Yost, who never played for the Red Sox. And there is plenty of documented evidence that he throws like a...well, not like a man.
Kerry, why this disguise? You speak french. You write sappy poetry about deer. You're an avid windserfer, for cryin' out loud. You're a metrosexual. Why not just talk about things you know?
