It felt like a historical moment, being there this morning. There seemed to be a big smile on everyone's face while filing out afterwards.

Sounds like it was a great rally! Did you take any pictures? :-)

Unfortunately, no.
Had to rush out of the house early... camera had no film.
Couldn't have gotten many good shots anyways...
my less-than-5-foot vertically challenged frame
could :::barely::: squeak a peek as it was!

At the end, the blue curtain behind him parted, and there was....his tour bus! He stood on the step waving as it circled the convention center room, and exited
right out onto the street.
Rick Roberts had promised us a surprise...it was
pretty theatrical, but effective. That's why everyone left
smiling.

The news reports on the drive home were full of Arnold's apology, but actually being there and hearing
it in person, and getting the feel from him and from the the crowd meant a great deal.

I have to add that Arnold supporters come in all stripes, shapes, sizes, colors and ages and it was a sight to behold.
