With 12 days remaining in the campaign, the Kerry organization remains flush with cash, and it showed in the stagecraft at Thursday's rally.
Red, white and blue lights and projected U.S. flags played across the Metrodome's east wall. On the far side of the lot was a huge maroon-and-gold sign proclaiming "Minnesota is Kerry Country." The center of the lot had a raised, round stage with "Fresh Start for America" written on it. The rally ended with cannons firing red, white and blue confetti.

I mean, that Star Tribune story could read like a Pravda loop from the 60's..."Our Glorious Party..blah..blah.."
I thought colorful? maybe he's orange again...
I believe this is Dem ca-ca. I saw a story the other day that said as of 9/30, Bush had $108 million and Kerry had $79 million in their respective campaign war chests.
I keep seeing different figures. One article tonight said Kerry has $24 million remaining while Bush has only $22 million. But of course the Demo 527s give the bad guys an edge. One area where there is a GOP advantage though is that the RNC has much more $$ available now than the DNC.
I work about 3 blocks away from the Metrodome in Minneapolis and I park in a ramp right across the street so when leaving late from work I got treated to an earful of this 'pagentry'
While walking to our cars my coworker (recently from Michigan) asked if I recognized who was speaking. I told him it was Walter Mondale.
My friend stopped, turned to me and said "you mean the guy that lost a presidential election by the largest electoral margin - and then lost a senatorial election is the person introducing Kerry? A loser introducing an even bigger loser. Kerry is toast if he has to take time to campaign in Minnesota and pal around with Mondale!"
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I drove past that gathering and called my wife to tell her to draw some bath water because driving past / through that mob while listening to Mondale at 100 decibels made me feel the need to take a bath.
I was out side the rally, when the the speaker that introduced Sen. sKerry say say "We are going to terminate President Bush." I was almost going to ask a L.O.E. if heard someone just threaten the President, but decided not to.
"...A loser introducing an even bigger loser."
that about sums it up. Mondale has never won anything.
