Cool..my local station is going to air the Kerry speech I think

[phish420]

if Im not mistaken News Channel 13 is going to air Kerry and Edwards speech's at TD Waterhouse...the place looks packed. Mayor Buddy Dryer is speaking now...if they air the speech, it will be recorded and posted. Keep your fingers crossed...he said "That is Buddy Dryer, when Kerry and Edwards hit the stage, we'll come back" and they went on to other stories...so I dont know if that means that they are just going to show them take the stage and show a line or two, or if they are going to go live and air the whole speech...Ill let you know!!

1. well...

They are still showing the scrowd...and it is HUGE...possibly 10,000 in the TD waterhouse center - more than the average Magic game!! But they are sticking with the coverage...and Kerry is LATE...I think they are shocked by the size of the crowd...they only expecting 5,000, but we ended up filling the entire lower bowl!!

[Dudley_DUright]

3. Whoops, I did not see your thread

I just started one on the same topic.

[Dudley_DUright]

4. Kick

They just started the rally to huge applause. Bruce Springsteen (recorded, not in person) provides the musical energy.

[phish420]

6. He just took off his jacket and the girls started screaming...

like he was a Beatle...this is great...lol

[Dudley_DUright]

8. Edwards says

He agrees with Bush on one thing, "he should be judged on his record". Hammering away on jobs and the economy.

[phish420]

9. goddamn it, some lady by the camera mic wont shut up

you can hear her in the background...ok she stopped. Thank god

[Dudley_DUright]

11. I thought that was from the program my wife was watching

in the other room. LOL :-)

[Dudley_DUright]

10. Now Edwards is hammering on Iraq

and leading a chant after each Bush falsehood, "NOT TRUE".

[Dudley_DUright]

12. Edwards is going through Kerry's senate record

which get almost no play in the media. "Kerry has stood up for you in the senate".

[Dudley_DUright]

13. Edwards

"Most important election in our lifetime." He invites more participation from young people.

[Dudley_DUright]

14. Kerry up now

[Dudley_DUright]

15. Kerry's voice is about shot

but after a rough start, it is getting stronger.

[phish420]

16. Damn, his voice is so hoarse, hard to understand him

working the campaign trail hard...god bless him

[phish420]

17. lol...he said he's 'Talking softly WITH A BIG STICK"

[Dudley_DUright]

18. "tonight I am going to talk softly, but carry a big stick"

"I am really in a fighting mood".

[Dudley_DUright]

19. Talking about the Bush's response to the CIA national intel estimate

Quoting him verbatim (LOL).

[Dudley_DUright]

20. "this is about judgment"

Shorter John Kerry: Bush has no judgment.

[Dudley_DUright]

21. Doing the W=Wrong riff

Now talking about his NY University speech on Iraq.

[Dudley_DUright]

22. Kerry actually got the "fool me once..." quote right without

veering into Who-like lyrics. :-)

[phish420]

30. That was great!!

[Dudley_DUright]

23. Hammering Bush about Iraq

Even with half a voice, he has finally found his "voice" on the Iraq issue.

[Dudley_DUright]

24. On to domestic issues

Bush plan to privatize Social Security got a huge boo.

[Dudley_DUright]

25. Talking about medicare

increases and prescription drugs. Big issues in FL.

[Dudley_DUright]

26. Now talking about energy independence

and alternative energy sources.

[Dudley_DUright]

27. "we're going to have every vote count and count every vote in FL"

[Dudley_DUright]

28. "We want an America where we say yes to science"

"yes, to stem cell research".

Just finished his remarks.

[phish420]

29. Wow...awesome

GREAT ending...Im enconding now...will take a while as it is pretty long...about an hour with the pre-coverage (where they were waiting for them to appear)...Im posting the whole thing first - with the pre-coverage), then Ill edit it down to just the speeches...but the pre-coverage is interesting - kinda shows how it is a TOTALLY open rowd - I mean, anyone could go to the TD Waterhouse and get in for free - no ticket OR LOYALTY OATH required...(they dont mention the loyalty oath thing...lol)...but it is interesting...

[phish420]
