Looks like over 100 people showed up to the very organized protest at the Hilton in Minneapolis.

It was in the afternoon, a workday and very last minutes.

thanks to whoever put it on Youtube

1. Ha! I saw those guys!
Where was it McCain was speaking? Because I got caught in the nightmare of traffic downtown and didn't find out until later he'd been there.

I was on 2nd Avenue, behind a huge convoy of city buses and could go NOWHERE. It took me 45 minutes to go 6 blocks! I thought it was just regular rush hour traffic until I found out. Some protestors passed me with their signs right as I got near the parking garage at the Hilton, so I gave em a happy honk and a thumbs up. They cheered and gave me thumbs up back.

I STAYED at the Hilton, but had been out all day. Good thing I missed the jerk if he was there.
