Whats happening in Gainsville? Still having the rally?

[murray hill farm]

Anyone here attending? Be interesting to see what changes in the itinerary have occured since they were "busted"...anything happening there?

1. What?

No one checking it out?

2. I'm not

I'm sure there will be a high mix of conservatives and liberals, since the word got out in the Gainesville Sun about the memo and everyone in town knows the dates and times. The county voting stats are like a 2-to-1 Demo advantage and of course there are a lot of Greens here as well, so I'm sure there will be plenty of party crashers. :)

4. thankee

If something happened, I'm sure the local paper will cover it (even if on page 12B). I'll post a link tomorrow if/when an article comes up since the rally seems to have taken on more than a local significance.

6. a bunch of them were huddled out of the rain

it poured rain here in Gainesville from about 1:00 to 3:00 or so. I am out straight with chores and things on deadlines and had to drive through the middle of town. Saw maybe 75 people huddled up under the roof of the plaza-stage thing. Interestingly, the one car closest to the scene was plastered with Kerry and Democratic Party stickers. Wonder how many "participants" were actually evil liberal spies? :D

Can't wait to hear the RW gasbags spewing about this on Monday on SKY 97.3 </sarcasm>. It is easy to predict that MoveOn.org will be portrayed as somehow comparable, and also George Soros will get skewered. I heard Reich Limpballs retching out crap along those lines as he continued to hype SBV on Friday. We pathetic liberals are, you know, being totally run by George Soros. Oh, and they will point out that nobody told Michael Moore's film distribution company to cease distribution of that "pack of lying propaganda."

7. another Gville DUer

The flyer says they are holding it tomorrow too. The forecast is for 60% chance of rain. You can see they planned this out really well. :D
