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.
Quite a change from when we were on Martha's Vineyard protesting at a Hillary book signing. I wonder if the Big Zero calling one of their brothers stupid had anything to do with it?
