"I didn't know you could protest someone running for office."

How stupid can you get? < /rhetorical>

...The protest across the street from the club included Republicans from conservative venues like Free Republic, a conservative, Internet news forum, and others who came on their own, waving signs that said things such as, "Dick Cheney can be president."

And they are raising money for what? Next week they get federal funds and I thought that was all they could use, or am I mistaken about the rules?

As a long-time veteran of East Coast protests, I doff the hat and offer profound thanks for your excellent work on the West Coast. That's an excellent sign. Short, sweet, to the point, accurate. Can't ask for anything better than that.

Edwards finds converts in O.C.
Democratic running mate gets warm welcome in GOP territory.

By MARTIN WISCKOL
The Orange County Register

NEWPORT BEACH – When John Edwards brought his talk of optimism and unity to the heart of Republican country Saturday, it wasn't just Democratic stalwarts shelling out $1,000 each and praising John Kerry's running mate for bringing needed charisma to the ticket.

The Balboa Bay Club luncheon of 400 or so included new Democrats who'd never been to a political event before...

...a handful of the president's supporters demonstrated at Saturday's event...

About 20 demonstrators held signs supporting Bush outside the gated hotel resort.

"I support President Bush," said Francis Akhavi, an Iranian-American living in Corona del Mar who said he had two cousins killed in Iraq during Saddam Hussein's rule. "We're so happy he got Saddam and is fighting terrorism."

But Aitken said even the protesters reflected the Democrats' growing strength in the county, which has long been host to major GOP figures.

"This is a great day, when we can do this here in Newport Beach, with them protesting against us."

"I'm not sure what they're protesting," Barbaro* said. "I didn't know you could protest someone running for office. They said bring it on. Well we're here."
    * Frank Barbaro, chairman of the Orange County Democratic Party

Get with the program, Frank. "bring it on" is your side's slogan with respect to the campaign. Bush is working to make the world safe from terrorism while your boy is trying to make it safe for trial lawyers.
