KerryPool: Luck Be a Lady Edition
In this series of pool reports from the Kerry campaign, Pat Healy and a Kerry staffer both get lucky, sort of. Kerry takes credit.
Pool was given a full lid til 5pm, but not before Loftus bummed a buck off your deadline-crashing pooler and promptly won $50 on the slots. Pooler is feeling renewed mojo for recouping last night's losses at the blackjack tables.
and
THK trip director Laura Schwartz sat down at the table and promptly started winning. JK took credit, but never played.Of course. It's the same approach he takes to legislation.
Full reports after the jump.

John Kerry & Teresa Heinz Kerry left Le Circe at 11:10 pm. They shook a few hands, singed an autograph. Then they proceeded to a blackjack table at which a couple of your press colleagues were playing. THK trip director Laura Schwartz sat down at the table and promptly started winning. JK took credit, but never played.JK and THK then slowly left the casino, swarmed by what became a bit of a mob scene, with people taking photos, asking for autographs and shouting "good lucks."
None of this is on tape since cameras aren't allowed in the casino.
Full lid for the night.
