LANCASTER, Pa., July 30 -- Here in heavily Republican central
Pennsylvania, Carol Sprecher, a registered Republican who votes like
an independent, looked disbelievingly at the television as John F.
Kerry finished his acceptance speech. "I'm a little surprised," she
said. "I kind of liked him."
Ed House, a Democrat watching Kerry in the suburbs of Portland, Ore.,
said Kerry seemed a bit stiff but more competent on complex issues
than President Bush, whom House supported in 2000. "I would rather
have someone remote and competent," he said.
