I enjoyed the part with Glorious Johnson. She did not receive a whole lot of support from the local GOP, but she is a member of "The Potter's House" and adamantly anti-abortion! Glorious Day.

Jennifer Carrol had great things to say about supporting the military, and as a former Navy Officer, she speaks with convictions.

One of my favorite signs was from Navy wifes 4 Bush...I also loved the crowds response when the big screen had a close up an elderly VFW Quartermaster. He received a standing O.

I read the previous post from someone who wouldnn't stand in line to hear some one speak...all I can say is... I was there in 76 when Reagan spoke...I heard it live, I shook his hand, he thanked me for my support...one of our local Methodist bishops tells the tale of when he was a boy, he met an old man who had been a boy, present when Lincoln gave his speech at Getysburg. The old man said, all of the actors had it wrong, Lincoln said" Government of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE... the flyover of AF1...priceless.

I have to wait for my sweetie to finish editing a video for the history of our church (75 years tomorrow)...then I can post the best of the signs...my favorite is from a future hottie- a young man of @ 15 years saying "Unborn Babies for Bush." In my mind's eye I have the picture of the bi-racial family that was on the big screen, the father was white...and I am thinking of Alan Keyes saying that 50% of black children are aborted in this country...

End of rant, but I AM FIRED UP, BABY!!!

It was good to be there. We got back a little over an hour ago. My arms were still vibrating and my ears are still ringing from those noisemakers, lol, which I was banging with great gusto. I even blew one out & had to go for the spare! My voice was in prime shape thanks to just coming out of volleyball season, though now I'm hoarse from all the "Wooohooos" and "Booos!!!!!"
Those nice t shirts we made last night were covered over by the "W" t shirt. So later we made up a "First time voter for Bush" in the sign area, which was shown at the very end on the screen. There were also "Seniors for Bush" signs being held up by high school seniors, which was funny.
Sean Hannity was there, came in and was signing autographs in the area adjacent to where we were sitting. We chanted "Sean Sean!" but he didn't ever speak . . .
Don't ask me about AF1 flyover . . . that's a sore spot. We were dying of hunger at that point and finally gave in to a little overpriced food . . . harder still because now I'm 0 for 2 in missing AF1 flying over.
We REALLY went wild when we saw Laura walk in w/GW, I mean we would have anyway, but I was so very glad to see her there. I was hoping we would, and we did at one point get to chant "Laura! Laura! Laura!"
I had someone take a picture of our family w/Bush in the background to show that GW is behind our family.
Afterwards when we heard 690 AM's news w/cut from the rally, and the crowd yelling back "But you can't hide!", we high fived each other because our voices were in those 45,000 or so. I wanted W to really, really hear us! It was so awesome to be a part of that. We've not seen tv news of it yet.
Like I said, my ears are still ringing, and I have an overwhelming urge to just settle in after a long day. I look forward to seeing the photos.
