How long are the Kerry rallies usually
There is a rally in New Hampshire on Sunday and I would REALLY like to go, but it is a 2.5 hour drive and I need to get back home to take my daughter trick or treating!

1. The gates usually open two hours before

the main event and the rally lasts an hour or more. But if you want to get up close you will need to arrive early to get through the metal detectors. Also after the candidate arrives, the gates are closed and no one else is admitted. I was a volunteer at the last rally here in my town and I was there from 3 to 11...when I arrived at 3, people were already lined up for a couple blocks and the gate opened at 6.

2. The Kerry rally in Madison is still going on!

It's just dwindled in size a bit, and changed location.

Okay, it's moved to my apartment, and it's just me and my wife.

But we're sitting here still waving our signs!

WOOOOT!!!

GO KERRY!

:)

3. Usually gates open 1-2 hours before...
And once they start talking it's maybe 30 mins.
