Bush and Kerry, both in Davenport, Iowa. What could possibly go wrong? Apparently, a lot.
Two very different events. President George Bush in shirtsleeves at LeClaire Park. Sen. John Kerry in suit and tie talking economic issues at the RiverCenter.

After a morning of having the eyes of the world on Davenport with the convergence of two major political events, the Quad-Cities settled down to almost normal by early afternoon Wednesday.

Elsewhere in the city, three bank robberies within an hour Wednesday morning tested the Davenport police force, already stretched while trying to provide security at several sites and for the presidential motorcade.
Iowa: Come for the campaigning, stay for the armed robberies.
