Man, it's getting busy around here.
-- Gephardt's doing an event in Kenosha on Wednesday at the UAW hall. His advance guy has a problem. His rental car is foreign made and Gephardt won't ride in it.
-- Who wants to usher Bruce around? The term of art is we need an adult. I'm overhearing this and thinking, hey, I'm an adult. Moments before I stand up and walk over to volunteer I realize I wouldn't even know how to get to the airport.
-- It's all about tickets to the rally. They're free and available on the web and really you don't even need them but still there seem to be more colors of tickets than you'd find in a J Crew catalog though the names are more down to "earth". Red, blue, gray, etc. Color dictates how close you're going to be to the front. Doesn't it always? But of course the rally is about pictures and video so who do we need at the front? Way beyond my skill to parse.
-- Biggest rally ever! Shut down Madison! It's gonna be Kerrystock!! The local paper's evening edition says the campaign is expecting 60K.
--Now if we get 45K we've failed!
--Where did they get that number?
Don't look at me. Later it sounds like half of Chicago is driving up to hear Bruce. Biggest traffic jam ever!
-- The volunteers are psyched 'cuz we're supposed to get everyone who goes to the rally to vote early and volunteer for GOTV.
-- How do you call 60k people in four hours?
-- That's something people quit over?
-- She does.
-- As far as anyone knows you're in Milwaukee.
-- She says Caroline Kennedy is using her cellphone so we should call her on Kennedy's chauffer's cellphone. She's soooo fired.
-- We're so gonna win this!
-- Driving the hour back to my brother's last I night I listen to Michael Reagan who I've never heard before.
-- I don't know 2 people who watch CBS in New York anymore. The NYT better watch out.
I think this is about the missing explosives cache. Even though the SCLM has been crushed as a result of the CBS fiasco the wingers are still its victims. It is that powerful!
We need a new acronym -- RWVC: right wing victim culture.
