A crowd that organizers said was the largest in the parade’s 47-year history jammed downtown streets to greet Sen. Hillary Clinton, who returned to Scranton Saturday for the second time in five days, again to adoration.
“Hillary, Hillary, Hillary,” the people who filled downtown sidewalks frequently chanted.
As Mrs. Clinton walked, dozens of people constantly rushed ahead on adjacent sidewalks to get as close to her as possible. Girls screamed like when the Beatles arrived in the United States.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said parade day coordinator James “Bambi” Coyle, who’s been involved with parade planning for 20 years.
“You can’t believe the support you have here,” one woman yelled. “I love you,” Tara Meredick, 34, of Taylor, shouted before snapping Mrs. Clinton’s picture as the candidate paused. “I love you, too,” Mrs. Clinton replied.
“Mom, I just shook Hillary Clinton’s hand,” one girl shouted.

Anyone still think Hellary will be easier to beat than Obama? Anyone? Those of us who were berated for opposing the idiotic ill-conceived and disasterous “Rush the Vote” are waiting for an apology.

So the choice for presidency is determined by people who are not using their intelligence, but their emotions.

First of all, how the hell would BORYS KRAWCZENIUK know? Does BORYS know exactly how people reacted to the Beatles?
Second, how about carrying the analogy all the way? Children screaming like idiots at pop culture stars are about as shallow as it gets. So let's make sure we keep that perspective.
Thirdly, since this happened in Scranton, I'd like to know what Dwight Schrute thought of the whole ordeal.

It got to the point where I started thinking to myself that some SS guy was probably going to shoot me, so I would quickly turn and yell "You should be in prison!" because I wanted to get in a good taunt before my bullet riddled body hit the pavement.LOL! Great job, dead! LOL!
