Huge crowds for Kerry in CO
Edited on Wed Oct-27-04 01:30 PM by cubsfan forever
Droves of Democratic supporters awakened to a chilly, windy October morning Saturday but descended anyway on Pueblo's Union Avenue district to support presidential candidate John Kerry.

They began arriving at 6:30 a.m., said Sheriff's Deputy Ron Jimenez, and about an hour later, two long lines snaked from the event entrance at Victoria and C streets, one wrapping back to the Union Avenue bridge. The other streamed back to the riverwalk.

"I'm here because I believe in supporting the veteran, not somebody like George Bush who dodged the draft and hid in the National Guard and then didn't support it by not showing up for duty," Maestas said.

"I have pretty strong feelings about it. I served in the Gulf War for his dad (the first President Bush)," said Maestas, a former Navy 1st class machinist mate who worked in the nuclear power section of the USS Roosevelt
