This is a crowd shot behind me. Lots of people there.
The crowd got very energized as these helicopters started flying in.
And here's the Man with the Plan!
All of my shots were Hail Marys.
Good photos. I heard that it was raining.
terrific pics! We just watched the re-run on C-Span, all the way thru...and then all the crowd handshakes...another 10 minutes! W seems energized and completely honest in what he says, he believes.
As is so often, the Hail Mary's will get you what you need.
These are great.
Eyewitness report. :)
FOUR MORE YEARS !
This was a great rally! Already replayed on C-SPAN once. Hopefully they'll replay it again. If they do be sure to watch the Kerry rally in Cleveland afterwards and make a spot comparison or read the thread about it. Night and Day. Clear one campaign has the wind behind its back and the other has clearly imploded and now just collapsed wreckage remaining, really pathetic, actually. I only saw a few folks leaving the Bush rally once it started raining. You guys were great troopers and the numbers really perked the President up :)
These are FANTASTIC! Thank you! 22,000 - he draws big crowds every time it seems!
great pics. what is tom hanks doing at the ralley?
first picture, left side, guy in red shirt.
Fabulous pictures, looks like everyone had a great time.
Fantastic post! Thanks!
I also saw it on C-SPAN. The crowd size & enthusiasm is sooo much better than Kerry's.
Hoping I can take my boys to see the President soon.
Excellent pictures! You can be my quarterback anytime!
great pics....
Wonderful pictures. This is one of the most awesome rallies I have heard about. I love the idea of an invitaion petition with over 10,000 signatures. Way to go Poplar Bluffs.
Thanks for sharing. Have forwarded the pics and comments to everyone in my email address book.
The contrast between the people showing up at the Kerry rally today and at this Bush event is quite striking. Huge crowd, lots of smiling faces here and every one is having a good time. They still came even though the weather wasn't picture-perfect. The Kerry rally had maybe a fraction of this turnout, people who looked sour and depressed and no one seemed to have fun! Wide angle shots like yours tell you more about the state of a campaign than any poll will. Send these along to Larry Sabato - maybe he can tell you who he thinks looks like a winner.
Outstanding~!
Great pictures! Thanks for sharing your experiences at the rally with the rest of us. W looks like a winner to me!
FReep On!
Great crowd and very enthused. I thought someone reported that about 30,000 were in attendance. Bush was visibly moved by the number of folks that showed up.
Of course Keith Oberman had to make a crack about Bush's remark re gynocologist's loving women, the only blurb or remarks shown from the hugely successful rally.
