We're gearing up in the Boston area for the Democratic national Convention, and the way this thing is being run, a rat wouldn't stand a chance here. For my part, I am staying away from Boston proper and limiting my travel that week.

I'm sure NYC will be operating much the same.

NYC will be worse as you have anti-USA sentiment + anti-Bush sentiment.

There may be people in Mass who do not like Kerry but I think he and Edwards have less dislike than Bush. (Doctors do not like Edwards because he was a sucessful trial lawyer suing for malpractice)

Granted on the candidate (heck, *I* wouldn't mind taking a potshot!!)!!!

We're also a national security point, and that angle has just been played to death here in the media. We just got all the same anti-terrorist stuff for potential chemical attacks that was sent to you, and they are making no bones about preparing for the absolute worst scenario.
