1. Sorry about that; hope it works well. Imaging a huge crowd.

'South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg has moved his presidential campaign announcement indoors Sunday because of forecasted weather.

The event will now take place at the former Studebaker Building 84, 635 S. Lafayette Blvd., which overlooks Four Winds Field. It had been planned for outdoors, at the intersection of Michigan Street and Jefferson Boulevard, before forecasts of heavy rain and cold temperatures.

The event will still be open to the public. City officials have said they expect about 10,000 people to attend. It's unclear how many people the building can hold.'

2. :) Good idea. Amy Klobuchar's lips froze, making it difficult

to speak, and his being pelted with rain wouldn't be nearly as picturesque. Imagine his audience will appreciate it also.

3. It's the Oncoming Storm the GOP has to worry about.

If for nothing else, Mayor Pete’s candidacy will be remembered for his emphasis on values and outcomes. Policy is not enough - it’s the mean to an end / improving people’s lived experience, everyday life.
