Oct. 22 (Bloomberg) -- John Kerry may not win Ohio without attracting votes from sportsmen. That's why he took time in the final weeks of the election campaign to hunt geese in Boardman, Ohio, yesterday.
Ohio, which cast 4.5 million votes in 2000, has 1.4 million anglers and 490,000 hunters, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. President George W. Bush, who won Ohio in 2000 by 165,019 votes, is supported by 50 percent of sportsmen in the state, and Kerry, the four-term Massachusetts senator, is backed by 36 percent, according to an Oct. 14 poll by New York-based Roper Public Affairs.
The sportsmen's vote is ``critical to winning in Ohio and other swing states,'' said David Wade, a spokesman for the Kerry campaign.
So...Kerry borrows some hunting gear and bags himself a Canadian Goose... to better his odds of wining the vote in Ohio? WTF? What in blazes does hunting, fishing or target shooting have anything to do with how someone'll do as the Presidett of the USA? c'mon...gimme a hint people!

Hint: How to cook a Canadian Goose.
Place goose in a large pot with water and several river stones. Bring to a boil and keep boiling (adding water when necessary) for 3 hours. Throw out the goose, eat the rocks...they're tastier.
I'm told that Canadian Goose tasted horrible...
