A REPORT FROM THE SCOTT BROWN RALLY AT WORCESTER (crowd overflowing to street)

A REPORT FROM THE SCOTT BROWN RALLY AT WORCESTER

“It’s an absolute mob scene. The police have closed off the streets. It’s mind blowing. The hall is already full, and it holds 3,000 people. There may be another 1,000 people outside.”

Meanwhile, reader Sean Fitzpatrick writes: “Pictures don’t do justice. Nothing like this in Mass since JFK. Worcester rally starts in thirty minutes and the streets are already packed.” Here’s a pic.

UPDATE: Fitzpatrick sends another picture from inside the hall, and comments: “If the Brown campaign were worried that they wouldn’t fill the hall then they needn’t have. It is standing room only and the hall management is concerned about OVERcrowding.”

I like the “Whole World Is Watching” sign at the lower left. Yep. And sometimes via cellphone pics.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Meanwhile, reportedly, Coakley can’t fill a hall. “Martha Coakley and Barack Obama held a rally today in Boston. They couldn’t fill the hall. . . . It holds 3,000 and frankly only 2,000 to 2,500 showed up.”

Brace yourself, there's a tsunami forecast for Tuesday, January 19, and it's about to come crashing down on Washington big time!

We're ready.

Washington better know----the people are coming, and they're coming for liberal Dems.

When Scott takes over, he will be considered a Dem Giant Killer---THE candidate to take on Obama in 2012.

"He does it all so effortlessly.....makes it look he just happened to drop by."

I'm no longer in MA, but I expect you will enjoy this FR account of how I first met Scott there (in Norfolk, when he was first running [literally] for office.)

As you said, he "just dropped by..." Scott has been a "natural" for as long as I've known him!

“Think Bush — a champion of illegal immigration, who jailed border patrol agents, who court martialed soldiers fighting in his war, reneged on Social Security, reneged on nation building, gave huge amounts of money to big pharm for African aids, and funded big pharm’s psycho drugs to control children.... “

You left out the fact that under his watch he bailed the Banksters out. The O-trauma has just been continuing Shrubs bail out policy. 1.9 trillion of our tax dollars and counting....

It’s a two party fraud.

You nailed it, LR. Bush was a disaster!

And furthermore Bush spent more of the American workers' hard-earned money than any President since DEMOCRAT President Lyndon Johnson!

And he turned over the U.S.A. to the Democrats!

The results of his failed Presidency may make him an even worse President than Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton--and that's saying plenty!

--And this from one of Bush's FORMER most loyal and enthusiastic supporters!

They do bear a lot of resemblance to the modern Democrat Party!

I think the transition to becoming a red state has begun.

And somebody is not too happy about that.

I parked the dog on Harvard Street which was about a 1/2 mile away from the hall (and up a steep hill).

Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles! I just got off the phone with my 88 year-old father; a died in the wool, life-long democrat who was born in and has lived in Mass for over 70 years. HE HAS NEVER VOTED FOR A REPUBLICAN… NEVER. After polite chit chat about the NFL play off games I dared broach the subject and asked him if he was going to vote on Tuesday (every time “politics” have come up in the past he has berated me with tirades about those “evil republicans”). Well, he came right out and told me… “I AM going to vote on Tuesday and I am seriously thinking of voting for Scott Brown.” Needless to say I was and am totally ASTONISHED… ASTONISHED (I did not let him know in the least and kept my heart-felt joy and enthusiasm at his answer to my self so as to not “scare him off”)!

I tactfully asked him WHY he was going to vote for Brown and his answer was: “Because of the healthcare bill Obama is trying to pass.” I carefully agreed with him and reinforced the fact that Obama wants to gut Medicare/Medicaid by taking away 500 BILLION DOLLARS from the system and that if he adds 40 million people to the rolls, especially illegal aliens the health care system would collapse… I told him that Brown is an honorable man and that he is totally opposed to the “healthcare” bill and would vote against it… MY DAD AGREED! I was flabbergasted!

If my own father; a life-long Massachusetts FDR Democrat who has voted for EVERY Kennedy, Kerry/democrat to ever come down the pike, is going to vote for Scott Brown, a REPUBLICAN, BECAUSE OF HIS OPPOSITION TO Obama and his evil healthcare debacle then things are looking VERY promising for Scott Brown and we could all be in for an incredible victory on Tuesday. To this end I am fervently praying.
