Man, he was FIRED up in California! I could't get over how emphatic and forceful he was. I even loved that "not over my dead body" statement - as did that audience. I thought he handled the gal who wanted to design an outfit for Laura in a graceful and mannerly way.

I thought that the "not over...." was a direct hit at Dashle, letting him know that he would absolutely veto any attempt to raise taxes.

Read, somewhere here on FR, that there were only 2,000 in that audience. It sure looked like hordes more than that. Did anyone hear the real figure?

One of the news syndicates, I think it was AP, said there were 5,000 people there.

rintense, what a welcome time out on a too busy day. Thank you from the heart.

patriciaruth, you said it well in your response, and you said it for ALL of us.
