Just back from Wes Clark event ...he's LIVING in NM thru Election Day! [View All]

[Gloria]

Came in from Roswell to Las Cruces for a 4:30 event. He was about a half hour late, but it was incredible!! Great crowd and he gave a get out the vote talk, focusing on 3 things to tell people if they were leaning toward Bush. 1 was that they knew 911 was coming and did nothing...they were negligent. 2 I forget....3 on the issue of Kerry being tough enough...well he went into Kerry's service record but also stressed his 4 runs for Senate were tough, he was a prosecutor and put people behind bars AND it didn't take him until the age of 40 to starting getting interested in public life/serving the nation.

Clark looked incredible and has come such a long way as a speaker. Afterwards, a bunch of us Clarkies from way back gathered around him just to relish being in his presence. What a man!!!

Afterwards, I talked to some folks who had been over at the McCain/Pearce rally (Pearce is the Congressman we love to hate--DeLay's whore). They had a big Kerry sign and were asked to leave and as they were starting out they got rough up by some Bush people and the cops intervened.

At the Clark thing, we had the local El Paso stations, so I'll be taping the 10 oclock news tonight!!

I met a couple of neighbors on the way in and they told me their Republican son was voting for Kerry!!! (He's not in NM, so I don't know
how critical his vote will be, but I was happy!)
I also talked to poll guy who was in from AZ to really monitor the vote...

Clark will be in Hobbs tomorrow then in Albuquerque and said he will bein NM on Election Day as well. He is hitting a lot the Republican strongholds, it seems.

Cheney is in the state and I think Bush will be back as well. UGH!!
