2. Town hall time moved to 9:30 am

According to an e-mail sent out by Catherine at WesPAC.

'Course, these things often start late, but if you want a seat, get there early.

4. Did anyone here go?

I was already committed to canvassing work (which went beaufifully despiet the cold and hail, btw).

5. I went!

I drove all the way from Dayton this morning. It was a town hall meeting, he got the usual questions about foreign policy. You could hear the anger in his voice whenever he was going off on Bush's distortions on Kerry's vote on the $87 billion, and he seemed to almost get tears in his eyes when he was talking with family members of soldiers in Iraq. Wesley Clark, I think, is too good a man to be President.

I managed to shake his hand and get his autograph, but damn it, I forgot my camera.

6. "Clark '08" plates?

Let's be optimistic here. How about "Clark '12"?

7. The mayor of Columbus,

Michael Coleman, was there as well and really left an impression on me.

Can we draft this guy to run for Governor in 2006?

9. Coleman for Governor

I don't think you have to worry about drafting him to run for Governor. There is a 99% chance he will run for it. He also was a Clark supporter during the primaries.

8. Thank you for the report.

And welcome to DU!

10. Cool

I don't know much about Columbus politics, and I knew nothing of Coleman before yesterday, but I think he's as good a Democrat as Ohio has (that doesn't sound like much of a compliment, does it?).
