Laura was fabulous. I will get details to all of you later. She was introduced by Amy Walden and ?? Smith (Gordon's wife).
I'll post the details of her talk later.
She was dress with in black slacks and top with a magenta jacket. (When she got closer I could see that it was plain old cordouroy!) What a lady. She is a good speaker and cover a lot of points.
And, BTW, I got to shake hands with her and tell her, "God bless you and President Bush for standing tall for all of us!" I chose to shake hands and talk with her rather than get an autograph!
More details later and I will ping the Oregon crowd.
Got to catch something to eat and then I'm off to make calls at the Republican phone bank again tonight.
Oh, and the biggest thing of all -- there were 3500 people packed into the gym at Chemeketa! All standing!
Talk to all of you later!
Thanks for the report.
Wow! You shook her hand, and talked to her!
I hope you took a camera. ;o)
We saw the CROWD on the local news and that is when I told Chris I tried to get tickets but did not want to clue him, anything to keep his health in check.
He smiled and told me it was too crowded anyway he could not have handled it medically.
It is the thought that counts anymore around here and me not letting things slip out of my mouth as I am so use to sharing all plans and events with him while in the process have had to learn not to do that as not to set off his excitement that builds up setting off the lung spasms and overflow of tone in his body to where no one can get near him to care for his medical and hygeine needs.
Can't wait to hear more about the First Lady's talking points.
I saw on our Oregon board that a Bar in Portland is hosting a gathering place for Bush supporters for the first debate and even allowing cigars!
Fantastic.
