I work in dowtown Cleveland and just returned home from there. The Kerry rally is right across the street from the building where I work. The appearance is quite different than what you are seeing on C-SPAN. It is a relatively small area with a relatively small and quiet crowd. For the size of Cleveland, the rally is extremely disappointing. The usual union people and liberals are basically the only ones there. Compare this to the crowds and enthusiasm that W draws. Our great President WILL WIN OHIO!
That is one GREAT picture, Does the heart good to see some of these huge crowds.
One Democrat talking head on fox tonite said that 1% margin for Kerry would be a landslide.
The DNC has talking points in line already to try and spin a victory just as they are trying to spin Iraq into vietnam-esqe "defeat".
Kerry will not concede until the last Judge has spoken.
and the dorky ball cap....
How can the President be getting such large crowds compared to Lurch and not be ahead by 30 points?
Because the media has done so much damage to the President that people are voting against the President regardless of who else is running. Do they care if they see Kerry? Does he need to rally the Dem base? Nope.
Case in point. I have probably the most stoopid tenant of all time. Yesterday I happened to see him outside and the election came up. He said,"I was going to go see Bush when he was here but I refuse to have to sign a loyalty oath to anyone!" I told him that I had tickets to see the President 3 times that he was here and I never had to sign anything or declare my party...in fact, when I was in line someone came out to make it clear that everyone was welcome at the event! Well, this idiot insists that he heard on the tv otherwise so he didn't believe me! Sheesh! Then he tells me that Bush and Kerry both belonged to the same secret society and Kerry was as conservative as Bush! He tried to tell me that Kerry's voting record was the most conservative record in Congress! Then he tells he gets all teary eyed and told me that he has a relative in a wheelchair who will never be able to walk again because the President has banned stemcell research! Then he tells me that he will never be able to have healthcare and the economy is the worst ever! It did not matter what I said to convey facts to him....he would not believe it!
Later in the day I find (under my door) this ridiculous 4 page thing all about Terayza Kerry and what a wonderful person she was! Then a while later there was another paper under my door about the stem cell lines being contaminated with mouse cells. A while later there is a thing under my door how Bush is going to call for a draft!
These people are friggen nut cases! Do they care if they see Kerry? Not at all!
How are you Nan? Good to see you!!!
Kerry's hand gestures make me so angry! The fist in the air that we saw in the 70's! Worst then that...the prayer hands and little bow that remind me of Uncle Ho. It's really pathetic. I think people need to read "Radical Son" by David Horowitz again and again and again!!!
Great pics !!
Thanks.
Don't know if someone posted this, and it is 2 a.m. here and I am too tired to look at all the posts. So forgive if it has been reported.
But, in Pittsburgh, PA - early morning 9 a.m rally in a small suburb south of there - Bush drew a crowd of what was reported to be 12,000-16,000 depending on what paper you read. They can't hide crows that large no matter how hard they try to keep it out of the news! My sister lives there. Lots of people from Ohio and WVA attended also. GO BUSH!
GOP_Lady,
thanks for the report, I will forward to all on the ping list!

OhMyGod!! I know someone who believes all this crap, too. What planet are these people living on or in?
Your up late/early.
Gee I missed seeing the washed up rocker the "boss" ....breaks my heart.
It's called "conditioning" and it starts with highly suggestive people in a learning oriented environment. Actually, I think many of the people have developed a sense of entitlement and don't understand the idea of actually working to get something! If things don't come easily, they have to blame someone! We have let this go way too long. I remember complaining about PC (as many others did) and being attacked for insensitivity! Good Lord...the idea that we might be sent somewhere for sensitivity training is not too far off if things go like they have been!
Don't want to insult anyone -- but it starts with letting kids have anything they want and no responsibility at home then snowballs from there... no one ever died from hard work.
Oh my gosh, that crowd is HUGH!!! Thanks for the pics!
Those DUers are nuts.
In the IAM-AW, the international leadership is in the tank for the Dems, but the rank and file are quite conservative (aerospace workers, a lot of retired military). Everyone I've talked to where I work is voting for President Bush.
The UAW is behind a great deal of voter fraud. Thus the next auto/car/suv/pickup I purchase will not be made by the UAW.
Since the UAW is behind so much voter fraud they can get someone else to buy their junk.
The next car I buy will be a Subaru or Honda or Toyota (except those made by the UAW) etc. The next SUV I buy will be a Honda or Mercedes or BMW etc . . .
The next pickup I purchase will not have a UAW stamp on it!
HEY UAW you can steal the American vote in Michigan but you can't make me buy your JUNK anymore!
Vote against the UAW's fraud, dont buy one of the vehicles they build!
