I also engaged in a discussion with the protesters, and one of them was quite interesting to talk with. Another was completely inconsistent, as she hated government, but was willing to pay more taxes, and thought everyone should be paid at least $11 per hour.

Having seen her on TV, I must agree. She is very nice to look at.
Brainy as all get out, too!

I was there also.
Had a great time and spent most of it with Michelle. I should have a photo of Michelle and I up by tomorrow.
There were several officers from the INS in the audience.
I left right after the debate, as the wife is about to pop out my third child.

Believe me, based on his articles, I was biased against him before the debate. However, after listening to him speak, I do like him better. Afterwards, I was able to shake his hand, and told him I completely disagreed with him, but that I gave him a lot of credit for showing up. He may be wrong, but he has the courage of his convictions.

Glenn Spencer from The American Border Patrol was there and video taped the event.
He should have a streaming video up in a few days.

Feel free to critique what I put up about the debate. First time I have done such a thing, and any pointers or suggestions would be welcome.
To: stylin_geek
It looks good to me and sums it up quite nicely.
I had a VIP ticket and was to sit up front, but it was oversold, so I stood in the back by the cameras.
I was hard to hear at first, but once they got everyone quite, you could hear just fine in the back.
There was a young Hispanic couple a few rows down from the back and right behind the row of INS officers, that were making snide comments under their breaths. They and the INS officers had a few words when everyone filed out of the auditorium.

Thanks for the info. I'd like to read more, when you have time to go back to your notes. Where was the debate?

I would rather have one man who speaks his mind dirctly to me, though I disagree with him, than 100 men who placate or draw back from me.
KUDOS to you.

The debate was held at Steele Auditorium of the Arizona Historical Society Museum in Tempe, AZ. I will ping as many as I can once I can get back to my notes, and have time to give a more detailed account of what was actually said.

To: stylin_geek
Please post all the details. I was supposed to attend it, along with the big Republican meeting (I'm a State Comiteeman) that morning, but instead had an emergency (SQL Worm) at work that kept me there from 4am to 8pm. Hated to miss it but had no choice.

Our subscription continues to be paid only because we like the comics and puzzles. Editors wanted very much to get rid of daily B.C., and did cut The Wizard of Id down to only on Sundays. We also like Rob Robb and Business section Talton.
