**This just in: *800* people showed up for our Debate Watch Party Friday** pics included

[MagickMuffin]

Can you believe it?.?.?

I wasn't sure how many people were there, this was at our local Brewery. Rahr Brewery has a large screen and lots of FREE beer, so everyone really had a good time. It was suggested we should play the drinking game, but thought we shouldn't have a lot of drunk drivers getting back home.

I thought there were about 400, but Tarrant County Democratic Party released the numbers. This is the county that voted 62.4% for Bush.

We are expecting another large crowd. The Star Telegram was supposed to show up but decided to attend the McCain watch party instead. They only had 10 people show up, D'OH.

If you attend let me know and I'll PM you my cell number so we can meet up.
