1. D'oh! I'll be in Dayton on Friday (travelling from NC)

because I'm attending a wedding over the weekend.

But Kerry's there TODAY. :mope:

Thanks for the pix though!

[liberalnurse]

5. Come down to Head Quarters and visit!

I have a friend who got great pictures from the rally. We were in the seats at the third base dug-out where Kerry was waiting to go on.....the locker room area was under our seats! When he left the field, he was right in front of us. My friend was a proctor who got photos of inside the dug out. I don't know when he will post them....Were all beat.

25. liberalnurse, we had to have been right next to you!

My mom (Kukesa) and I were seated in the "Ohio Women For Kerry" section, near where you described.

Wasn't it an amazing night? I posted another recap and photos (not my own, sadly) here:

29. I was on a tier overlooking you, then...

I got in too late to get an actual seat. I was plastered to those half windows on the tier. I kept looking down and around and saw your group!.

great rally!

[liberalnurse]

11. He said something about being in Columbus this week...

I don't know if it's Friday or Saturday?????

4. When's he coming here to Dallas? Heh.

6. Love the headline underneath "Cheney Wows Crowd in Xenia"

How could Cheney ever WOW anyone?

[liberalnurse]

8. All of Dayton is buzzing with Kerry fever!

Cheney is just a teaser who is left in the dust. I think they announced tonight that the Dayton Daily News endorsed Kerry. I'm not positive because I was talking at the time....


What? What did he say? ....So someone will need to validate this ....

16. Cheney WOWing them with his charisma

[Eurobabe]

27. with his fear mongering BS maybe?

"The biggest threat we face now as a nation is the possibility of terrorists ending up in the middle of one of our cities with deadlier weapons than have ever before been used against us — biological agents or a nuclear weapon or a chemical weapon of some kind to be able to threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans," Cheney said.

7. Thank you, LiberalNurse!

This is great listening to Kerry in Ohio..praising John Glenn and talkin' about the Red Sox!

[liberalnurse]

9. You can feel the frenzie in the air here!

Kerry is being spoken in every house. Ohioians know they must get out the vote. Kerry signs are everywhere!

28. Thanks again! This is Democracy at it's

Finest! :hi:

10. Thanks for the report, -

I thought about coming up from Cincy but couldn't get free. We have a tough job down here in repug country, but we think we can get it done.

[liberalnurse]

14. Thats the attitude.

Fight the good fight! Thats what we are doing every day!

[AlinPA]

12. Is Dayton is heavy republican?

[liberalnurse]

13. Essentially yes, but our new voter registration is up 60,000

according to Dennis Lieberman, Montgomery County Democratic Chairman. The City of Dayton is stronger Democratic...the south suburbs are more repug as is the far northern area.

[AlinPA]

18. That's a lot, sounds great. Thanks.

[liberal N proud]

15. It is amazing, when he fills a stadium and the media reports that

Thousands attend Kerry Rally
It is 10's of Thousands by the way.

[liberalnurse]

20. The stadium was packed!

Holds 11,000 seated.....we had many in the field! At least 1,000.....

[Lerkfish]

30. there was one wedge on the right unoccupied, for lights...

so, that probably cuts down on the total number, BUT it was SRO where it wasn't blocked off.

17. Good pics. Kerry looks like a happy camper

Does he know something? ;)
