1. thanks n/t

[NMDemDist2]

2. OMG did you see that?

some one had a seizure in the crowd and Kerry was perfect

[Chichiri]

6. What happened? (n/t)

[NMDemDist2]

10. some guy had an epileptic seizure, kerry asked the crowd to

step back and give them some room, the EMT's showed up in 30 seconds and Kerry said "Told you we'd have help here quickly"


when the guy was on his feet, being helped out, Kerry dropped the mike and went over asked if he was OK and shook his hand

pure class all the way

[iwantmycountryback]

20. Oh that's what happened

I started watching it at the tail end of that. I just saw some guy walking around with a couple guys I thought were in cop uni's and Kerry went up to him and asked if he was ok. Nice to have the explanation for that.

3. another medical incident

... fuck, I'm just outside everett, didn't know he'd be speaking publicly today.

[swag]

4. All the pessimists on DU should watch Kerry deal with the issues

live and upfront, and they should go get some education in issues and persuasion by watching this man. Shut that cable shit off.

They just had an epileptic episode in the audience, and he handled getting help quickly and effectively. And now he's back on the issues.

[Julien Sorel]

5. I'm looking hard, and I don't see a complacent

candidate. I see a guy who is campaigning a lot like he did in Iowa.

[ezee]

7. KOMO chanel 4 jsut showed the medical

event on there news. Then went on to promote Kerrys schedule for the weekend in Seattle and Tacoma

[DaveSZ]

8. He's kicking ass

I thought he sucked on the Daily Show, but he does well in town hall meetings.

[faithnotgreed]

11. he was clearly drained on tds but still did good. and hes doing

great right now. no one who hears him can think hes boring, or aloof, or out of touch or any of that junk

[faithnotgreed]

9. i missed the beginning & the medical situation but im looking forward

to hearing him answer questions

hes doing great

[NMDemDist2]

12. he has passion and grace

don't know why they think he's stiff :shrug:

[Julien Sorel]

15. He isn't folksy. He is patrician.

Most Americans don't know what "patrician" means, so the media use words like "stiff" and the like. "Stiff" is also good because it doesn't mean anything, so they can't be pinned down on it.

[vickie]

23. Kerry was absolutely terrific. I will go to bed greatly

comforted by his performance. This is a man filled with confidence. He sound as though he's going into 'closing' mode. Sounds like a man who's in it to win it.

He most certainly does have passion and grace.

[jefferson_dem]

14. thanks for the heads-up

strong performance! and right on John! don't back down. remind folks how you did indeed "defended this country as a young man"...!

[joanne]

16. Thanks so much for posting this!

[Chichiri]

13. 67 Days

"There are less days between now and the election than there are between the election and the inauguration. The clock is ticking."

Words of wisdom.

[NMDemDist2]

17. train story "John give us ten minutes, we;ll give you 8 years."

ROFL

Kerry says "you never saw a train stop so fast"

[NMDemDist2]

18. ARGH !!!! where's the Q & A???? n/t

[TheWebHead]

19. it's on NWCN

I'm recording the Q&A now and I'll upload it when it's over.

[faithnotgreed]

21. thats exactly what i said azdem! i wanna hear it. i want it now!!!

haha

hes so awesome the only bad part of there being only 67 days is that he cant talk to every single person. if he could, even the media couldnt spin the outcome!

[swag]

22. Thanks to kgw.com, contact here (sorry they cut off the questions)

I and others have given kgw a lot of shit over the past few years about their pro-Admin bias, their piffle, etc., so I feel obliged to ask that anybody who gained anything from the stream of the Everett town-hall who feels like it, toss a little word of thanks to kgw for streaming the event:

http://www.kgw.com/customerservice/HelpCenter.do

I'll also ask that they carry the Q&A session next time, but I have to couch that in a lot of praise, because believe me, this station and web site has come a ways and will do better with more encouragement.

Thanks. Gotta use the carrot as well as the stick.

[TheWebHead]

24. shit, bad video out of Everett

outside the event, a guy holding a Kerry/Edwards banner was filmed sucker punching a Bush Cheney guy and immediately getting arrested. Uploading the video clips now Q&A and punch.

[swag]

25. Could be a real sucker punch, but could be dirty tricks like 1972

remember, Rove seems to be following a very Nixonian script this year.

My bullshit detector is blaring sirens. Rove-plant with a Kerry banner attacks a Cheney-Bush Junta supporter for the cameras.

They're just warming up for the extreme bullshit they'll pull to smear the demonstrators in NYC next week.

Pure speculation, of course, but perfectly in character for the Nixon-Ailes-Atwater-Rove line.

26. video links

Q&A:

Punch/arrest

I probably won't leave these up long since the file size is so huge (bandwidth)...

[swag]

27. thanks, i saved 'em off

[NMDemDist2]

31. can you repost the "punch" link? lots of threads on this--

people should see for themselves

[NMDemDist2]

30. can you repost the "punch" link? lots of threads on this--

people need to see it for themselves

[NMDemDist2]

28. excellent, thanks for the Q & A

and what was up with that sucker punch?

[TheWebHead]

29. dunno

Probably some nutcase that saw the local TV cameras and wanted to be a celebrity. If his name comes out I'll have to google him and make sure he's not a freeper plant. A pretty idiotic thing to do. If a camera is on me and a Republican wanted to take a swing I'd say bring it on as long as it's on tape. I'll take a punch for Kerry :) Bad thing is that it's getting airplay on the local NBC affiliate who taped it. On the good side, the swing voters who went came out leaning much more towards Kerry afterwards according to the reporter on the scene.
