More than 100 people turned out for protest here in Orlando.  Scheduled
during appearance by Gore & Leiberman, local police and secret service
cordoned off demonstrators couple of blocks from park where candidates
were speaking.  Local media thought several Dem supporters hassling
woman (with infant carriage and several year old kid in tow) holding
Bush-Cheney sign was more newsworthy.   Michael Hoover
