Just got back from the rally in Minneapolis. Yep, Coach Tice was there to introduce the President - giving him a MN Vikings jersey with #1 on the front.
Tice hammered on the main reason he is supporting Bush - because every day he wakes up feeling safe because of Bush and wants his family to remain safe. It was powerful.
Tice and the Vikings establishment took holy hell from the dems in the area once Tice was announced as the person introducing the President. My respect for that man went up again (and I'm a closet Bears fan stuck here in Minnesota :)
Again I am struck with a sense of awe that Minnesota is truly a battleground state. The President makes a major campaign stop here 72 hours before the election. Hubert Humphry is spinning in his grave today.
I'm cautiously optimistic that MN will be Bush country on Tuesday!
I am truly excited for you guys. The Vikings beat my Saints two weeks ago, but after today, who cares.
I hope this helps W with all the fans that the Vikings have. Really need those guys with union ties to sever those ties when it comes to voting.
