.. all of the intersections around the school are filled with a vast majority of Kerry/Edwards supporters waving their signs, and a majority of drivers going by were honking and giving their thumbs up.

Not only students.


An overwhelming majority.

It was a GREAT and unexpected suprise.

8. I was shocked
And it gave me great hope, especially after such horrible propaganda from the "media".

14. Cool, what a beautiful night for a bike ride

good to hear Kerry has so much support down there. I was a little worried about all the anti-Castro folks, but I heard W pissed them off with his increased sanctions on visiting Cuba.

16. Great news! Thanks for doing that.
You'd never know by watching TV that there are so many K/E
supporters. Most of the signs in front of the camera are */C.
Unreal.
