Who's tougher than me? I shook Theresa Kerry's hand today in Gallup.

It was a great time in Gallup today. Lot's of Pow Wow and Kerry gave a nice little speech.

1. Yay!

How'd it go? Good crowd?

3. The crowd was great. I tell you, every Native American there, and

there were many different tribes in attendence, will vote for Kerry. He had them eating out of his hand. The ceremony was real nice. They gave Kerry a nice rug and one of the Navajo code talkers told Kerry to "Secure the White House" in November. Red Rock State Park is a beautiful place. The crowd was small (maybe 2000 people), I took some pics. If they turn out I will post them.

2. Cool!

I shook John Edwards hand today in Lawrence. We had a great time too.

10. Glad for you and I am jealous....

When I drove over to Raleigh, with 25,000 people there was no getting close....

It is so nice to see the people coming out for these guys... and I love that they are going to all the little towns....wish they would go to states that are traditionally red too...

6. If I say I've seen her in her bathrobe,

does my hand win? LOL.

7. Dang, I forgot the most important part.

I had on my DemocraticUnderground.com T-shirt, and Theresa told me, "I like your shirt." Now, who is tougher than me!?

Something else that was amusing, I saw several men with rifles on top on the mesas and I asked one of the Secret Service guys if he saw them. He nodded. I asked, "Are they part of the security?" He grinned and said, "If not, they soon will be." Only in New Mexico.

8. An agent cracked a joke?

Didn't know that was allowed. I've hardly ever seen one smile.

13. You have got to understand. This is Gallup we're talking about.

And it was a Pow Wow. I don't know how to explain it.

[Dem2theMax]

11. Ok, you got me beat,

fair and square. How great that you were wearing your DU shirt. Maybe the Kerry's will log on! :) I'm just plain jealous that you got to see them. I hope they come to speak near me. I've tried to find a schedule, but so far, no luck. Anyone know if they are coming to San Diego in the next few months?

(I really did see her in her bathrobe. I used to work at a health spa and she went there frequently. Bet she won't be going there anymore WHEN Kerry wins!) :)

9. I am jealous....that is one lady.. I would love to sit down and listen

and talk to for hours...I find her so refreshing....

12. I shook future pres JK's hand in '72

That's my story & I'm stickin' to it! I realized then that my fellow Viet Vet against he war was a guy with a future. Our time has come!
