    Kerry Won't Cross Picket Line for Speech By Theo Emery, AP
    BOSTON  - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on Sunday canceled an appearance at the U.S. Conference of Mayors rather than cross a promised police union picket line at the event.

    "I don't cross picket lines. I never have,'' Kerry said as he left mass Sunday night at Our Lady of Good Voyage chapel in South Boston.
     
    His decision came hours after Boston Mayor Thomas Menino called on Kerry to attend, calling the conference ``an important event for urban America,'' and saying the pickets set up by the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association and other union members did not constitute a legitimate picket line.

    Romney crosses line, to ovation from mayors Boston Globe
    Romney, who is leading the Massachusetts effort to reelect President Bush, said he made the appearance to support Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino in his fight with the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association.
