The Sox ace endorsed the president's reelection on ABC's "Good Morning America," was quickly contacted by Bush himself, and is scheduled to make a battleground-state appearance with the candidate this morning in Manchester, N.H., one of the provincial capitals of Red Sox Nation. The Bush campaign immediately sensed a coup, shortly after Schilling closed his interview yesterday by telling GMA host Charles Gibson: "And make sure you tell everybody to vote, and vote Bush next week." The campaign posted Schilling's comments on its website and sent them out via blast e-mail to journalists all over the country. The president called to thank Schilling, now a local hero after his two post-season performances in a bloody sock, covering a sutured ankle tendon that will require surgery to repair. Bush congratulated the pitcher and invited him to campaign with him today. He will introduce Bush at rallies at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester and at the Pease Airport in Portsmouth. Like the president, Schilling is a born-again Christian, and he has been supportive of the US war effort in Iraq. Schilling delivers for Bush on 'Good Morning America'
