What was the turnout today?

There were between 700 and 800 enthusiastic supporters at the one in San Diego this morning!

You were at the San Diego GOP rally, too? I only saw Jimbaugh up on the camera stage, and didn't see any other Freepers there. There were just too many people there. I hope you used sunscreen and didn't get sunburned. I forgot, and my right arm was red after the rally. The many hundreds of people there were very enthusiastic.

In the afternoon, I took my homemade "Fire Davis" and "Dump Dioxin Davis [with Blinky, the 3-eyed fish cartoon drawing]" signs to Camino del Rio South, in front of the Scottish Rite Center (where the Simon/Giuliani rally took place October 13th), for the benefit of the Davis supporters arriving for his rally and for the people leaving the computer show.

Very few people were there to protest against Davis, and none were Freepers. Besides me, there were

an "Abortion Shame" bus with the US flag and some other flags, as well as a picture of an aborted baby, but I didn't see the people in it,
two people with signs protesting Davis' infringement on father's-rights, and
a man displaying and and handing out a stack of "Dump Davis" bumper stickers that he had gotten in the morning.

I was afraid to go inside, but the other protesters said there were only 50-60 Davis supporters. What dismal attendance for Davis. Another supportive man who wasn't protesting but who had also attended the GOP rally also counted a similar number. He borrowed a Davis sign, perhaps to edit the right sides of them to say "experience, values for sale," or otherwise to file them away for safekeeping and protection from damaging UV rays.

I got many thumbs up and supportive words from people leaving the computer show. A very small fraction of Davis supporters gave 1-fingered salutes to the man with the "Dump Davis" stickers, but they just pretended to ignore my signs. They have enough manners not to offend a lady, but they're just a little misguided in their politics. Some arriving people even smiled and agreed with my dioxin sign; maybe they just wanted to catch a last glimpse of the soon-to-be-Ex Governor before he is committed to an insane asylum.

I saw two white limousines and one black limousine, all with black privacy windows. They went around to the back of the Center, and so did the chartered buses. It figures Davis wouldn't enter through the front door -- just like the Clintons. If Davis was in one of them, he was about 90 minutes late.

Is there a post-FReep thread about San Diego this morning?

If not, can one of you POST a report?

And, Jimbaugh, would you please post some PICTURES? Or at least, some of your VIDEO?
