Edited on Sat Dec-06-03 03:46 PM by madfloridian
I have not heard back. They showed her on television earlier, as my husband saw it before he left to go there. It is just annoying everyone.
She is a Clark supporter that he would not be proud of. There is a group of them here from Arkansas, and they need to tone down the noise. One guy from Arkansas spoke at the I-4 Corridor democratic meeting. Each candidate gets to be represented. He literally screamed, and some people just walked out because he would not hush. It was not just loud speaking, it was screaming.
He and a bunch of others were wearing their red shirts. Don't know for sure how many were from Arkansas. It was a moment when others were stunned. We discussed it with others later, and we wondered if they were really Clark supporters or someone else pretending to be. Clark has a lot of class and would not like that, but then we can't have these grassroots campaigns without stuff happening. People posing as what they are not is a common event now.
It has happened to all the candidates. I just want that whistle to stop! I don't care who she supports.

Hubby would know, but he is over in Orlando getting ready to listen Dean speak. I am jealous. I was going, too, but a kid crisis came up. With 5 of them throughout the country, there is always a crisis. Besides, I despise that traffic, and did not feel like it today.

He said (as he has before) that Bush is the only one who needs to be laid off in 2004.
So, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Rove, etc., shouldn't be laid off?
Just kidding.

for the people who served, all they are doing is admitting to being murderers in the service of coorporate intrests. Id reserve my vote for a morally conscious candiate who stood up for believing in humanity and not participating in immoral bloodshed, to any degree. And by any degree...let me just say I can barey bare to pay taxes knowing half of it goes to making bullets to kill Iraqis. I sure as hell am not voting for someone toting their record of contributing to death in foreign countries. This is not a good thing.

But I just figured out something about his delivery--he needs to use his arms and hands more. When he stands there keeping his hands down, he just doesn't seem "into" it. When he does use his arms, he's much, much better.
(That's a critical comment about his delivery and shouldn't be seen as a bash, just an area that he can improve on.)
