Thought y'all might want to see some photos from the Cheney rally last night. My husband took these.
Here's the opening call on the conch shell
More opening acts...
Our governor
The main act
I really can't complain for the most part - some of the worst traffic jams I've been in were at sunrise as I was coming down the hill with a gorgeous view of Pearl Harbor, stretching all the way to Diamond Head. It doesn't get any better - a nice Hawaiian music station on, sunrise over the Koolau's, and Honolulu city lights in the distance.
Great shots. Thanks for sharing them. Do you how big the turnout was?
The Convention Center on Oahu - right on the outskirts of Wakiki. AF2 landed at Hickam.
All I can say is:
IIHIHOIIJC!!!
I've had "a couple" there during my stays, and can vouch for them.
Mahalo!
Of course, all those times that Cheney was in an "undisclosed location" he was in Hawaii
Great Pics. I Love Hawaii. Hey Spyder, how about divorcing your husband and marrying me? I'd like to live on Hawaii too. :)
By the way, did Jack Lord (Hawaii Five-0) attend?
Sigh. I love Hawaii. What was the crowd like?
Ya' gotta love those coconuts!
Um... in spirit maybe. He died a few years back ;-).
Sure hope so. I've heard rumors that it well might flip this time. 9/11 really hurt our economy that has otherwise been zipping along quite well before and again in the past year or so. Hawaii doesn't like the idea of terrorism, and with all the military here, who don't necessarily vote here but are big fans for Bush, it's hard to vote anti-troop.
Not only that, there are so many small business owners in Hawaii, I can't imagine them wanting to vote for Kerry.
See above posts - depending on the reports there were anywhere from 6000-10,000 in attendance.
Great pictures. Thank you for posting them. Lynn and Dick sure looked like they were enjoying the crowd. I loved the "pig with lipstick" story.
That's the coolest rally I've ever seen! I especially like the hula girls with the coconut tops. I hope it didn't send Cheney's heart into a patter.
Very nice pictures. Thank you for sharing them with us. And hope that we win in Hawaii too :-)
stunning photos of VP and Lynn Cheney
Awesome pics! Thanks for posting.
Algore had 1,200 hahaha!!!
Bush is up in the Hawaii polls!!!
