The Sentinel had another reporter, Scott Maxwell, in the room sending live reports from his Blackberry. They can be read here.

Maxwell reports only 40 or 50 people got in for the meeting. Most of the Rats wouldn't give up their seats.

He also reports on Grayson's human shield moment:

"I've got 3 children here, sir. Show some respect."

That's what Grayson said to someone who shouted "That's not true."

The statement in question was Grayson claiming that a Marist (sp?) College said only 6 percent of Americans were satisfied with the current health care system in this country.

A show of hands in the room suggested closer to 30 percent present were satisfied.

"...I've got 3 children here, sir. Show some respect..."

Ranks right up there with;

"Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"
