Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and his press secretary Doug Gordon make their way through the media center.  "John Kerry will win Ohio.  He'll win by a couple points and the reason why is that there's going to be a late surge which will be the result of all the grassroots activities that are taking place.  An unprecedented amount of grassroots activity on behalf of the Kerry-Edwards ticket is taking place in Cuyahoga County and a number of other population centers around the state.  That grassroots activity will result in a bigger turnout, and the larger turnouts are going to go in favor of Kerry-Edwards.  So I expect that it will result in changing a condition where four years ago Al Gore--whose campaign basically quit in Ohio but he still pulled to within three points.  I see the momentum, the numbers changing, and victory."
