Over the past week, many more Kerry/Edwards signs are appearing in Rochester, a Republican stronghold in Democratic Minnesota.

In 8th grade voting at the typically-very-conservative Rochester Central Lutheran School, John Kerry actually got 10 votes, out of about 50 students. In past elections, the percentage voting Democratic was more like 4%, rather than 20%.

John Kerry hisownself is speaking at a rally in Rochester today. I guess, as Bush is reaching out to "conservative Democrats," Kerry is stumping for Republicans who want a change.

Dare I hope?
