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.
Did Schilling REALLY wear a Yankees cap?!
I was at Mechanic's Hall as well. I was standing on the floor right behind the guy who shouted "We are going to win" during Brown's speech. I had to keep pinching myself to believe that this was real and not a dream. This is Massachusetts turning out thousands of people for a Republican candidate! I felt as though everybody in that room could have been a Freeper.
Despite the fact that most of the people outside couldn't get in, it was a very well-behaved crowd. I did not see a single person get out of line and despite thousands upon thousands of Brown campaign signs, not a single one was left on the floor or ground. After the rally, we left the streets as clean as we found them.
Even the cops were caught up in the excitement. You could tell that they were Brown supporters and glad to be a part of things.
