I attended the Bush rally in Chanhassen, MN today and wanted to report back that it rocked! Easily 10,000, probably closer to 15,000 in a suburban Minneapolis park. President Bush spoke for about 30 minutes and was fired up. Expect to hear "he can run but he cant hide" a whole lot more the next 3 weeks. The crowd loved it. A great fall day and a big step to making Minnesota a red state for the first time since '72.
Dubya always has better slogans than the Left. LOL
I wish I could be at a Rally!!

G'rrrr from an exiled Minnesotan...
On the other hand, I was living in Phoenix for the
Diamondbacks - NYY World Series.
A waitress's T-shirt at a local Sports Bar said it all:
"It'll take more than 9 Yanks to beat our Johnson"
Cheers
So happy to heard this. Thanks for reporting. Bump.
And if only 2 dead demoncRATs in each precinct hadn't been allowed to vote
the result would have been the same.
Friday's performance has reinvigorated the President. He's got that swagger again, and Kerry better look out on Wednesday night. President Bush electrifies crowds wherever he goes. He's a personable man, and even if you don't agree with his politics, you can't help but like him. The same thing can't be said for Kerry. He's acting like the king who's forced to leave the castle to mingle with his subjects, and hating every minute of it.
Appreciate the pics, hitman. W is engaging and very genuine.
Excellent question.
"There are still a lot of Democrats, many of whom don't like Bush, however that does not translate to excitement about Kerry."
It's not a matter of not "liking" the President, they positively hate him.
Having just moved this summmer from the "heart of darkness," as another freeper aptly named South Minneapolis, I can tell you a lot of them must have been map-challenged today. (Or their 75 Volvo held together with duct tape couldn't make the trip)
When the war began I lived near the Marshall/Lake Street Bridge in Mpls., and at least a couple thousand whackjobs would turn out every Wednesday to protest the war.
I'm in Carver County now and people I talk to can't believe what I describe, having lived through it. Men in pink fairy costumes, people pointing at me with just the flag telling me I'm a person "who hates the world" and elderly people flipping me off for just being there flying our colors. The UN flag was also very popular and flys in front of more homes than the American flag.
It's a whole 'nother world near the U of M. That's why we have to get out the vote and counter the inner-city fraud.
MN freepers,
KARE-11 News just had a whiny Veterans for Kerry guy on saying he was kept a mile away from the rally because they wouldn't let him any closer due to his shirt.
What a bunch of BS. I saw the same guy right outside of the gate.
MSM at their finest.
I'm e-mailing them pronto!
has anyone ever watched campaign rallies on C-Span and
noticed how at kerry rallies the camera will pan wide to
show the "thousands" there, but at Bush rallies you see
only the angle showing the platform ?
This reminds me of the old saw:
"Sire, the peasants are revolting!"
"Yes, they are, aren't they..."
I signed up for the 72 hour push here ini Maine. You folks out there, sign up and do the work it takes to get people out and to watch the polls for fraud.
You will have nothing to complain about in the event of disaster knowing you did all you could. And when GW wins, you can say you were on the winning team!
What? It's only mid-October. Surely they can't ALL have
dusted off their "winter-beaters" already! (grin)
Full disclosure: I am in exile from Minnesota (currently
in Arizona) and would love to move back now that some of
them are gaining their senses (e.g. Norm Coleman elected).
Love the cold & lakes, hate the Dumb "Effin" Liberals (DFL).
Read in the Gainesville Sun today that the Dave Matthews band, part of the Moveon.org PAC only sold 10k tickets in Gainesville, FL. The liberal pit of the south with 1000's of college students, 85,000 is the typical number at a Gator game. The Dave Matthews band is kinda a home town favorite too. Matthews made a point of keeping the political rehetoric to a bare minimum. Hmmmm..........
I too am a South Mpls deserter. Your example reminds me of a funny button I saw today, it said "annoy a liberal, get a job and have fun." Our old neighbors are mostly miserable people.
--Sure wish California was a swing state. I hate the fact that because of San Fran and L.A., we don't get to see much of the President. I understand though.
San Diego WILL go RED for the President --- ESPECIALLY MY PRECINCT!!!
.
Hey ARNOLD....how many personal appearances have you had with your President???
Wow, I haven't heard that expression in a long time! I don't even know of anyone who has a winter beater anymore. Funny, isn't it, the way the liberals cry about the economy, you'd think nobody would be able to afford to drive new vehicles!
Ex-Roseville-ite, here. Right behind Rosedale by Snelling. My old house is now a Rainbow Foods....grrrh. (/residue lingering anger.)
THANK YOU!!
