100,000 for Kerry in Madison today, 2,000 turned out for Bush
in Richland Center, Wi at a high school gymnasium in Richland Center yesterday. And what's this I hear that Bush couldn't fill an auditorium in Pontiac? 80,000 seats and he got only a quarter of filled.

Oh yeah, Cheney was in Wisconsin today too (can't remember the city) but his rally was held in a local restaraunt.

Oh right, can't help but gloat a little bit :)

I heard that there were 12 people at Cheney's 'rally.' :D

edited to add that in addition to the people you see here (see me in the back right, working the crowd for volunteers?), there were people packed into the side streets, as well, because West Washington just couldn't hold any more people!

3. Their band of thoroughly vetted and scrutinized loyalists
is getting smaller and smaller.

And maybe they are getting more paranoid, too, about who to let in to these things.

I am gloating with you. LOL

8. That would be the talk of the media if the numbers were reversed
But they will mostly ignore it as they usually do when Kerry gets 50,000 or more people at a rally.

9. We have to get these folks to the polls...
Kerry's team has all the votes we need to win....we just need to make sure those votes get to the polls...

Could this be any simpler??? NOOOO!!!!

The Kerry team have already identified all the voters that they need, that have expressed that they want to vote kerry.....

We just need to make sure everyone one of them vote....join the effort, if every one here just got 10 other people to the polls that would be 500,000 Kerry votes....we have to do all we can to:

GET OUT THE VOTE!

Please join the efforts, and you will sleep soundly on Tuesday night!

11. I heard they could vote today in WI and they were going to take
as many people as they could to vote after the rally.

15. Our early voting has been open for a while
but the City Clerk kept the office open longer and put on extra staff yesterday (made the freepers' eyes spin in their heads). We had big signs that said, "Madison Voters Follow Me" or something to that effect, and after the rally, the people with the signs led their groups the couple of blocks to the City-County Building.

Even the clerk in our little township has extended the office hours in order to accommodate early voting and registration. YEAY!

It's so hilarious that the repubs don't see this as a great opportunity to get their people to vote, too. They just threw their little baby-fits, stamping their little feet and crying that the city office was reflecting a bias. :cry:

10. That looked like a really tiny restaurant Cheney was in and the
Bush rallies are not big affairs. But they are perfectly marketed for the TV audiences...stooges standing there transfixed by shrub's every word and clapping and cheering like robots. None of the major networks will report the numbers turning out at the rallies. Geez, I hope every one of the Democrats in this country votes! Then we can take this country back

17. no, it was 2000 security guards checking for
t-shirts under clothing, banned posters, and insuring that everyone signed away their first male-born to the Bush family.
