This is going to be a great few days for me.

Just got back from the University of Pittsburgh to attend a rally for John Kerry. I'll confess I was there for the entertainment first and Kerry second. Bon Jovi was there. After free food, who can pass up free music? Interesting tactics used. Students were there for the concert. There were a LOT of people. I couldn't tell how many thousands. AFter Bon Jovi was done and a few of the other famous Pittsburgh sport legends spoke the die hard Republicans left but there were still thousands who were listening. I have to admit, Kerry is not a great speaker either.
He was a little monotone but heck.....

In a multi-purpose room on the same campus was Sen Rick Santorum :sick: and Rep Melissa Hart :sick: :sick: with a group of about a hundred Bush supporters. The crowds will be in for the conventionl

Dick Cheney comes in this week to speak at the NRA convention. I'm looking for a way to sneak in (I'm not a card carrying member) and listen to the man.

President Bush comes in soon after that for a fund raising event for Arlen Specter B} ( I really like Specter).

Here's a chance to see and hear them all in person. I want to see how they come off in person.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

Have fun! I've been reading where Specter's got a bit of a run for his money this time...

I sit in one the few regions of California (Monterey Bay Area) that voted to support former Govenor Davis in the recall a few months ago. So, I doubt that my area is likely to be visited by any Republican big names any time in the next 10 years...

I'm more worried as to how I'm going to sneak into the NRA convention. Been to tons of Star Trek conventions though. I'm afraid I'll stick out like a sore thumb. "This woman doesn't look like a bonifide member!!!! SHOOT HER!" I could tuck my long hair into a ball cap and wear a loose shirt or something. I bet security will be tough.

Maybe I can put on a ST uniform and bring a phaser. Maybe they'll let me in. :angel:
