Saw Bush in Minneapolis today [IT WAS AWESOME!!]
October 30, 2004

WOW! What an incredible rally. Local press is estimating around 23,000 which sounds right. The crowd was VERY energetic, just crazy. Norm Coleman, John Klein, Jim Ramstad and Gov Pawlenty were there as well as St. Paul Mayor Randy Kelly. Norm Coleman said he and Gov Pawlenty would be working around the clock for Pres Bush in the state.

I can't remember the name of the musical guest, but he and Mayor Kelly sang Amazing Grace and the crowd joined in at the very end. Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Tice was there and presented Pres Bush with a Vikings jersey. All in all a GREAT day! I'm VERY optimistic about Bush's chances in MN.

Bush is a dynamo in person....wish the average MTV viewer could witness it.

God I hope their is a silent majority emerging in Minnesota. Driving through Minneapolis, you'd think there wasn't a Republican for miles.

Bush will win Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, New Jersey, and PA, all within a point.

Another cool thing was the fact that the Target Center staff had to keep opening up more sections in the upper deck to accomodate the overflow of people coming to see the President.

We can win this one for Bush!

Saw him in Columbia, MO in October. My first political rally in 55 years. It was one of the most thrilling events I have ever been to!

Working the phones this weekend to get out the vote.

I know what you mean...I was at a Bush rally in 2000 in Fresno, CA and it was electric! I was on stage with him and Laura and McCain and Chuck Norris! So totally cool!

I wish I could go to one. Guess he won't be having many more now that the campaign is coming to close.

I was scheduled to go in Sept but Ivan flooded us bad.
