KerryPool: Mind in the Gutter Edition

In this Kerry campaign pool report, we're getting a Hustler vibe:

This stretch of the street is predominantly student housing, and many eds and co-eds lined the street, filled front porches and leaned over balconies to get a look.

Kerry waved, stood on the running board of his SUV, waved again and ducked into the vehicle. Behind him and overhead, hanging from a student balcony, a large hand lettered sign demanded:

"Shave that Bush

Vote Kerry"

Must be some other voter registration gimmick.

Or a Washingtonienne endorsement?

Full report after the jump.

Shorlty after 3 p.m. Kerry emerged from his hold in a camper parked behind the rear stage riser.

The SUV, with SS detail at its side, then proceeded at snail's pace half a block to NBC mobile studio for interview with Tom Brokaw.

No local interviews, no OTR planned here. "We got our picture already," Wade said.
