Herseypark Stadium, Hersey, PA -- in the rain, no less!
Yes, it is, along with, I think, a deep respect and gratitude for all he's done to protect us since 9/11.
I don't have an estimate of the crowd size, OWF. But other FReepers who know the stadium say it can hold up to 30,000.
Thanks.
Has anyone noticed that hardly any of Kerry's rally pictures show the crowd?
Well, Hershey is a town made from chocolate.
There are plenty of potentially good senate candidates here in California. But I think so many people have bought into the notion that Republicans can't win here anymore (other than a big celebrity like Arnold), that it discourages them from giving it a try.
It's been noticed here on almost every "Kerry appearance" thread. It ain't happening, and sometimes it's complete staged for the cameras with a rent-a-crowd.
The whole family is great looking. The girls are beautiful young women and Mom and Dad Bush are just a striking couple. I was impressed with these pictures of Barbara. She just seems so real, but amazingly beautiful.
But Jenna is the one I want to party with! he he
I love his secret service guys. They are so attentive to him. I know it is their job, but it makes me feel so much better that they are actually reported to really like him. So said, he has a bar-b-que for them every year and sits with them, talks and eats with them. I bet this is much different than the last administration.
Probably a woman / mom, with a real job.
It's great to see the good people of America supporting their President.
Go Mr.Bush !!!
Man that kid of his is a knockout, she is aging nicely.
There is something profoundly likable about GWB. He is such an ordinary guy, and people want to pull for him. I went to one of his events and he was just great. Everyone there --and it was a big crowd-- felt very warm towards him. He feels like family.
It is such a different vibe. The photos of Kerry interacting with his base are so different. There is no affection there. Kerry comes off like an aloof snob and his base comes off like
seething whackjobs.
Bush looks like one of us and Bush's base is made up of solid citizens. It is night and day.
Wow! Nice crowd. Go W!
Yeah baby, teen spirit!
I got there about 3:55pm and weasled a ticket from one of the people out front at the entrance.
I looked around for freepers but couldn't find any obvious ones or signs, etc.
I was about 50 yards from "the man" when he came on stage. What a great crowd and energetic performance! Whew!!
There are 10 polls out right now. 9 show Bush in the lead. 1 shows Kerry in the lead. Yahoo talks about the one showing Kerry in the lead. No bias?
