did the whole dang town turn out?

who says Kerry's not a rock star?

3. ahem

We have over 70,000 people excluding the suburbs, thank you. Actually, the Fox Valley is the third largest metropolitan area in Wisconsin.

6. wow sorry I stand corrected ! but 11K is quite a turnout isn't it? n/t

[Big Al from WI]

7. Yes, it is,

especially since Appleton is normally Republican territory and Joe McCarthy's hometown.

8. Wow 11,000 people.

Way to go Wisconsin..........

9. NICE! Did anyone find out how many

were at the Des Moines rally the other night? Kerry said it was the most ever gathered in one place in Iowa.

That is a Beautiful picture!

10. CNN would never cover this rally

And if they did, Candy Crowley would just lie about it.

11. Considering Appleton, the home of Joe McCarthy is heavily

Republican, that is sensational. Go Kerry!!

12. Something is NOT FUCKING RIGHT.

Guys, I've felt this way for a long time, but something is just not fucking right with this election. Everywhere we look, EVERYWHERE, there are signs the entire nation, minus the fundies, is fed up with bush. FED UP. Yet somehow the polls are a statistical tie!?

SOMETHING IS NOT FUCKING RIGHT.

13. What has me worried...

When Kerry wins (by a landslide), Pugs will use these polls as "evidence" Dems used "illegal tactics", therefore, the election is illegitimate.

[requiem99]

14. No, that doesn't worry me. What worries me:

Is Kerry "loses" by a narrow margin due to massive GOP fraud. Lets face it, they would do it if they thought they could get away with it, and the last 4 years have seen them do things just as insane and get away with it. Whats going to stop them now?

16. I'm scared too

The very thought freaks me out. Cheating bastards.

15. That is awesome!

I can't tell you how badly I wanted to be there.

17. I've just driven from SJ CA through OR to Seattle then to Spokane and

there is little to no support for aWol. Kerry/Edwards signs are all over the place. In fact, CA is a given to Kerry and I've seen more aWol signs in CA than the very very few I've seen in all of OR and WA. I did see a few paid-for aWol signs on I5 in OR and I90 in WA but when you look at what's on ordinary citizens cars and homes it's 90% Kerry.

Usually when you see an aWol sign on a vehicle it is accompanied witha religious cross, some kind of fundimentalist religious sticker and/or a NRA sticker. Why don't some Dems make some kind of fun out of this as I saw a repuke on CNN make a pair of flip-flops for Kerry? And, I think some Dems should just copy the flips flops and put aWols face on them. Get the people confused just as the scum sucking repuke plan goes.

Again, Dems should make some slogan or sign to associate repukes with murderers.

And to point out educated citizens in the financial, business... centers of America all support Kerry. LA, SF, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, NY, NJ, Boston... combined with every college in America and the world supports Kerry. Get out the point that only uneducated people support aWol
