1. WhooooHOOOOO! Damn, I wanted to drive up there so much, but

gas is SO damn high and I am SO damn broke, just couldn't do it and didn't know anyone in my area who was going to be able to go. Awesome!
Rock on, Minnesotans, and ROCK ON FRED HOIBERG!!!
Go Wolves!

[question everything]

7. We cheated and left a little early, before the crowd would start moving

and then, once inside the car, turned on 91.1 FM and could hear the rest of Kerry's speech. Even better than inside the rally where, as someone else pointed out, the sound system was not great.

2. Actually * got 40000 in Ohio. But that's still great news.

4. Sen Kerry and crew drew 50,000 in Portland OR <eom>

5. Yeah, Portlanders are great at turning out for outdoor rallies

Around 1997 or so, I took part in a spirited (but futile, given the Republican dominated legislature) march for education funding that attracted 30,000 people.

I also participated in a peace march that attracted a similar number just before the Iraq War began.

But I could tell that the Twin Cities were turning out for Kerry today. :-)

6. That's excellent!

I relly believe this is all Kerry needed to assure Minnesota stays blue.
