Just got home from the Clark rally at Faneuil Hall - ask me anything

[Kat45]

And I'll answer until I fall asleep at my keyboard. :-)

1. How many people

were there? And where is Faneuil Hall? GO CLARK!!

[Kat45]

2. I'm guessing there were over 100 people, but

I'm not good at crowd estimates. Faneuil Hall is in Boston, and tonight there was a CNN/Rock the Vote Democratic candidates forum there. Clark rode on one of the DuckTours (amphibious) vehicles in the afternoon, and we greeted him when he got off the vehicle. I'm psyched because I got to shake his hand.

4. That is so cool:)

I wanted to go down there,but didn't feel I fit the demographics for "Rock the Vote"...didn't know there was a Clark rally!:(

6. Are you a Clark person?

I would have let you know about it if I had known. :hi:

8. He's my favorite...

Of course,I'll vote happily for whoever the Dem candidate turns out to be:)

5. After the rally, we all went to a bar called Clarke's to watch the forum

Then when the debate was over, Clark came over to the bar and spoke to us for a few minutes, thanking us for our support and slamming bush, of course. I happened to be sitting at the bar, and I saw that when he was walking through the bar on the way to the stage area, he made a point of going over and shaking hands with each of the bartenders. I thought that was pretty cool, acknowledging the people who were working there.

7. Oh yeah, I met someone from DU there.

But she doesn't post too often and hasn't been on for a while. I told here about the Boston gathering and she said she'd be interested in meeting other local DUers so I told her to check out the Lounge because we were thinking of having a Christmas party.

9. Did anyone ask him about hobbies?

Model trains, fencing, die cast collecting?

[Kat45]

10. No. But they asked all the candidates if they ever smoked pot,

A few of them said yes--Dean, Kerry, I forget who else. Clark said he didn't, and a disbelieving reporter questioned him about it on the post-forum segment. He explained it to her in the context of being in the military. (I don't know why the reporter was so disbelieving on this issue; I would have assumed he didn't because he was career military.)
