An FYI in case you live nearby and want to say a few things to Senator Daschle, ask him questions, or just carry a big sign.
As a graduate of UMKC, I am not surprised yet another liberal is brought into speak there. Its a good city university where a good portion of the student body is non-traditional; married, night-schoolers, already working, have kids, etc. So be default, there are a good number of Republicans at the school, but just not involved in college activities because they are married, night-schoolers, already working, have kids, etc.
But somehow, recent past speakers have been Micheal Moore, Sarah Weddington, Eric Foner, and now Tom Daschle. I think even that fraud Rigoberta Menchu spoke there. I can't even recall one Republican speaking there. Hell, even Kansas just over the state line has some Republicans.
