First stop was Sellersburg, Indiana, where the president spoke on behalf of Representative Mike Sodrel.

Portions of the president’s speech are excerpted in the following posts, but the speech was so GREAT that I urge you to read the COMPLETE TRANSCRIPT.

W was on FIRE and the audience was FIRED UP!

BE AFRAID, TROLLS! BE VERY AFRAID!

President George W. Bush waves as he arrives with US Representative Mike Sodrel(R) for an Indiana Victory 2006 Rally at Silver Creek High School in Sellersburg, Indiana.

I heard hoosiermama was going to be there. I kept searching the faces in the crowd for her :)

One of the DriveBy White House press corps 'news' announcers this afternoon commented that today President Bush attended his first event that was free, not a fundraiser. They are so irritated that he draws huge happy crowds they just taste bile every time they have to report on his day.

Thanks for the very welcome thread.
