I could have gone if I phonebanked. But that weekend family matters kept me home. Don't be like me-if you have a chance, take it! I still have an unredeemed ticket to see Clinton back in 1996. Mounted, and a proud possession, but still I would have traded that for the memories.

Someday, I'll learn.

bulb in the chandelier. If he had his own rallies today, at least somebody would have covered him. But instead he sends his stalkers, and nobody cares and nobody covered him at all.
Instead, he goes to the Kentucky Derby. Clue, Mitt: the folks who can afford to attend already will vote for you.

I read somewhere that his largest rally to date is 2,000.

BTW, can C-Span's priorities be even more screwed up? They should have moved that Libertarian Convention to C-Span 3: nobody cares about a party that will get less than a million votes and is bound to lose. But everybody would have liked to have seen both Obama rallies in that unedited Cspan way on tv instead of online. I mean not everybody has a computer, or one that can do streaming video.

CNN starts at 1:00pm, and from time to time have been doing remotes from Columbus. It looks a bit gloomy, so take some rain protection (poncho, hat).
