1. Let's just see if this makes it to the msm
Clinton comes - 1 sentence.
Clinton goes to rally for Harold Ford - all the msm talks about.

Obama comes here - 1/2 of a sentence.

MJF rallies in for Claire MacCaskill - msm talks non-stop.

We'll see....

There's even a thread in GD about Senate races, and Az wasn't mentioned.

Here we are in a 'red' state and have a couple of tight races going, and the msm doesn't care.

I'm feeling very neglected. Guess it's leftover from 2004. We were ignored by Kerry and Edwards then too. :nopity:

(I'm a great whiner :))

2. I went
It was PACKED! Standing room only, shoulder to shoulder.

Very inspirational - Thank you Michael!

3. I was there too, it was great!
Despite the fact that I was one of the many standing in the back and couldn't see anything. Harry, Jim, Mayor Phil Gordon, and Michael J. Fox were terrific. But the most moving speech came from the local man who was suffering with Huntington's disease. He described his ordeal with the symptoms and showed his DNR tattoos. He specifically blamed the Bush administration for him having to do that.

Unfortunately, Channel 12 didn't show too much of the footage they shot and repeated statements from Kyl and Hayworth about their supposed "support" for stem cell research. Unfortunately, they only support the less effective adult and aging existent embryonic strains. This was made clear at the rally today but you wouldn't know it from the coverage.

4. I was in the back too
I'm only 5'1 = so the only time I saw MJF was when this woman next to me showed me a picture of him she took !

How many people do you think were there?

That was quite a story from that man with Huntington's...

There are so many people that could be helped with embroyonic stem cell research.
It's heartbreaking to think there are people that vote against it.
