[Native_Iowan]

46. A Kerry Rally Critique

...apparently these rallies have a gotten bad rep for running very late - the candidates running behind schedule getting to the site. Then again, I attended several Clinton's rallies in '92 and everyone of them ran 45 minutes behind - and he still won Iowa AND Michigan, the two states I attended. It's a Democratic thing....wonder if my parents are there tonight...

[Cha]

77. How many are there there tonight?

Who knows what held them up!

[wellstone dem]

24. what does 343 stand for? nt

[unfrigginreal]

30. Debates?

Kerry went 3 for 3

[Native_Iowan]

33. Three-for-three

Kerry sweeps the debates.

[Lex]

26. That one sign

B --- something?
U --- Unemployment
S --- Smirk
H --- Halliburton

[Lex]

29. What's up with the broom? Is that a broom?

[Steelangel]

34. for 'sweep' in the debates

[Lex]

36. Oh, that's excellent! Thanks.

[951]

35. Wow there was one... two... now theres four!

[faithnotgreed]

37. swept the debates.

[faithnotgreed]

31. i see a lot of brooms (sweeeeep!) but no kerry

[951]

38. I saw a stretcher earlier I hope it isn't related

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

41. We Dems are so creative, with the brooms and all! Love it!

[SammyWinstonJack]

39. Great sign in audience

54. About 97.8% White

Only North Dakota is "whiter". My best friend is the son of Indian immigrants and we grew up together in the same town in Iowa (Ames). He jokes that growing up, he and his 5 family members represented the 2.3% "minority vote" in Iowa.

[Lex]

58. Yep--my housemate's family is from Iowa

and I always kid her about how white it is in Iowa when we visit!

Here in NC, all the Dem rallies have a large African American presence that it is funny to see the difference in Iowa.

It definitely wasn't a put-down, but an observation!

[wellstone dem]

47. They also go to bed early

lots of tired yawns, teachers have school tomorrow. The campaign better get this moving.

[951]

50. I don't think Kerry is coming out

[Cha]

57. Where is everybody?

It's so late to have a live campaign..and no one there yet.

[darkism]

48. What a...

...great choice of music at this rally!

[jefferson_dem]

53. Hell yes. Much better than that bumpkin music chimp plays.

The crowd's really rockin here. You just know when JK comes out "the roof...the roof...the roof'll be on fire"

[Oreo]

51. Not BonJovi!

[Lex]

52. But he's such a good Dem!

You gotta give him that much.

[Oreo]

59. No offense to country music fans

but I'd expect shrub rallies have a lot of it

Finally! It's cold out too... low 40s already here in Mpls

[Cha]

60. I like him! Anyone that is a good dem is

Okay! Troll!;)

[Oreo]

65. I'm from Jersey...

I'm allowed to make fun of BonJovi!

[Cha]

67. Okay!

Bon JOvi Rawks!

[Lex]

[siliconefreak]

69. How nice!

Kerry and Edwards are looking very handsome. The barn jacket on Kerry is perfect.

[SammyWinstonJack]

71. Four magnificent people!

:bounce:

[Oreo]

74. I'd love to see a blue midwest

I think WI is the biggest worry. Madison and Milwaukee are going to have to turn out bigtime

[nostamj]

75. BELIEVE it and ACHIEVE it!

IN A LANDSLIDE

[sonicx]

73. how long has it been since...

they all appeared together?

[Lex]

76. I like the story Edwards told and it made Kerry laugh hard.

In the 2nd debate when Bush ask, "Is my time up yet?"

LOL!

[dogtag]

78. Hot damn, I think Kerry is handsome as all get out.

Am I alone?

[progressivebydesign]

80. He looks SO HOT!

Love the jacket.. I love that look.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

164. Kerry is handsome; I like him in jeans, too. Hmmm...

[SammyWinstonJack]

84. You're not alone

Kerry is very handsome!

[A Brand New World]

121. I've been to 3 Kerry rallies

and he is definitely even more handsome in person. He's very charismatic. His smile I think is kind of odd on TV at times but not in person. He is MUCH more handsome and likeable than you-know-who.

[tomfodw]

79. Any idea how big the crowd is?

Can't get any sense how many people are there.

[Lex]

81. Kerry said it was the largest political gathering EVER in Iowa.

.
Wow.

[unfrigginreal]

85. Kerry said it's largest crowd in history

it's got to be pretty damned big

[Lex]

112. He's speaking from the heart. No more, no less.

[dogtag]

114. Love your typo, Shrub does ruin a good teleprompter!

[madmax]

117. Bush can't string 2 sentences together.

Kerry is intelligent. He didn't waste his youth and he didn't trade off his Daddy's name. He worked hard and he'll work hard for us, too.

My report from last night's debate in Tempe!! (Pt. 1 LOTS OF PHOTOS)


First off let me say FUCK ALL THE MEDIA WHORES WHO SHOW IMAGES THAT MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THERE WAS AN EQUAL AMOUNT OF * SUPPORTERS TO KERRY SUPPORTERS.

Walking the streets of Tempe around the downtown and ASU area I can tell you right Kerry supporters outnumbered members of the Bush Cult by AT LEAST 5-1

So fuck you CNN, I was there, WE were there, you heard us screaming "FUCK WOLF BLITZER FUCK CORPORATE MEDIA!"

Anyways here are some pics for you all to see how things REALLY went down on a hot as hell day in Tempe, Arizona."
