But, looking at that crowd... how can that be???

Great photos. I think Ms. Fluke has a bright future in our party. She is an impressive young woman.

Looking at the faces in the crowd, and especially that little girl, sends me back to my college days. A friend of mine had gone to a rally for Bobby Kennedy (geez, I'm old!) and came to school the next day beaming and literally almost in tears. All she could say was, "I touched him, I touched him".

The last photo of Rmoney I saw this weekend he was standing on a picnic table with about four uninterested Secret Service in the back of the table.

It looked like he was talking to the air --- no faces for the crowd.

Did anyone see that "Rally" ?


It reminded me of that football field in Michigan with about 50 ( probably paid) "supporters" in attendance.

Wanna bet Ms. Fluke goes out to visit college women's groups this fall?

he'll stoop to any level for a cheap shot, no matter how kindergarten playground-esque it might be.

And he does it for his listeners, who get off on that shit.

Mitt's a lifeless, flavorless, hollow cold tin cup half-filled with stale water

Oh wait, that would make him a typical Republican. My bad.

proud to be a liberal.

I'd vote for Fluke.

The cheesy attack ads would write themselves. Which would be hilarious, like watching local news trying to make a big deal out of ducks quacking too loud or something.

Don't Vote a Fluke into Congress 2016!
