Just got back from Kerry rally in NH; Kerry gave excellent speech

[Kat45]

It was great! The place was packed. We waited in line close to 2 hours before we got in because it was taking forever for everyone to go through the metal detectors. But we did get there before Kerry's speech, though not by much. I don't know who was playing (music) or who else might have spoken before I got inside. Stansfield Turner was speaking when I got in. Theo Epstein and I think someone else from the Red Sox spoke. Kerry's speech was terrific. Large crowd, but I have no idea how many; I'm short and can't get a good panoramic view of the crowd. Heck, I only got a glimpse or two of Kerry, when I had the opportunity to stand on the bottom bar of a fence. There were people of all ages, from elderly to children. A few dogs wearing Kerry signs. Kerry had the crowd roaring with applause.

I was with some folks from the Catholics for Kerry group, and their signs got a good response from a lot of people. Unfortunately, down the street there were a bunch of bush supporters sporting signs and a nasty attitude, as they always do. One of the bushies spit on one of my friends, who was handing out Catholics for Kerry literature outside. These folks who scream that we're killing babies don't exactly show a Christian attitude with all the venom they spew.

All in all, it was a great day and we saw a lot of support for Kerry in NH.

1. Thanks for the upbeat report!

I caught about 10 minutes of the speech on cable. Kerry looked very relaxed, and seemed to be enjoying himself.

2. Great News!

The fact that Bush seems to be losing NH tells me that he is completely losing the mainstream Republicans.

He's gotta be feeling pretty good with his situation.
