Kerry stops for voters' homemade signs By MARY DALRYMPLE, AP
Rallies along the two-week tour have been filled with signs and T-shirts that proclaim "Firefighters for Kerry," "Carpenters for Kerry," or "Sheet metal workers for Kerry," among others.
In Scranton, Pa., Kerry noticed, "We've got 'Insulators for Kerry.' Now there's a new one. Thank you!"
Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, said a personalized sign may the only way for voters to communicate with a future president.
"You don't have any way to talk to the candidate. It becomes a way of sending a message," she said.
