#1 Look like one of the Two Americas gave Pretty Boy quite a nice boot in the ass...

#2 The crowd must have been infiltrated by a bunch of those stinky neocons.

#3 That's the danger of 'assuming' the nature of an unsalted crowd. That's why the pols have people to arrange and set up photo ops. That's what happens when you live and breath in those worlds and step out into the real one. The echo chamber disappears. Normal reaction is to 'get control' over the situation to stop embarrassing repeats instead of opening up the lines of communications and see what the attitude is really like out there, not what your pollster hacks and strap hangers tell you.

#4 Lawrence, KS 2004. For those who are not familiar with the area, people there buy new Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers every year and is a very politically savvy college town - home of the Bob Dole Center for Politcs, University of Kansas. On their train campaign tour a rather large crowd of supporters waited at the train station for them to stop and give a few words. The train went right on by without even slowing down. Realizing the mistake, Edwards took a train back to Lawrence the next day and nobody showed up - everyone was pissed, even some Bush supporters, by the obvious lack of respect. All I could do was laugh and point at my blue friends and say "I told ya so." KU has a large percentage of students from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
