I just got back from being inside Mechanics Hall... it was ELECTRIC inside! First speeches by the campaign manager, Doug Flutie, Curt Shilling, Ayla, a bunch of well respected and great-speaking football stars (sorry, don’t follow football enough), and others. The hall was PACKED, Scott and the hall were rocking. There was a shout - something like “YOU ARE A MACHINE”, to which Scott retorted... “NO, YOU (pointing), AND YOU (pointing), YOU... ARE THE MACHINE”. THis was so spectular with signs sporting “THE PEOPLES SEAT”.
This is the first time in my life I've ever attended any political rally, and it was friggin electrifying!
People in unison chanting "41, 41, 41", Curt Schilling wearing a Yankees cap, a sign saying "The SCOTT heard 'round the world!", the absolute throng of several thousand all pumped and realizing they are instrumental in giving Dear Reader a slapping he never expected.
This thing is larger than any of you outside of MA can understand. This is Massachusetts, where something like this isn't supposed to happen, but is, and is with such enthusiasm that few of us will ever experience.
Brace yourself, there's a tsunami forecast for Tuesday, January 19, and it's about to come crashing down on Washington big time!
btw, I took lots of photos, and if I can find a place to host them, I'll post them for all to see.
I may have a picture of you from the outside, later!
