Best political event I have ever been to. My daughter loved it. We managed to get about 10 standing rows back from the front, and had a great time.
We both love Fred Thompson, so that was a real thrill watching him walk down the hill and then onto the stage (well, we couldn’t quite seem him walk on the stage since there were too many signs in the air.
There were tons of people. The line to get in just kept going, I had to walk the whole thing to get to the end. The security folks were great and really moved us through.
Of course, I was in the line with the guy who brought the knife, and then wanted to argue that he should be allowed to take it with him. A security guy finally looked over and said “do you really have a problem with our no-weapons policy?”
Was Gilmore there?
