went & saw W yesterday morning at fiddler's green in denver, and had absolutely no expectations....which is a good thing. There was no red meat and perhaps no identifiable purpose to his visit. He was only in town for 14 hrs (saw AF1 land biking home from work day prior), so he didn't even have time to pass the plate.

don't give me that "to energize the base" crap -- who's going to be energized after getting up at 4 am to make the 6 am secret service entrance requirement?

Yah what a bummer, but it really pays to go, just in case, because you never know if he would have spontaneously broke into dance with secret service agents and sang "Hello Ma Baby, The Michigan Rag". Then it would totally have been worth it.

or if he gave everyone in the audience a car, then you'd be kicking yourself for missing it!

or if he threw a plastic chair in the stands and broke some fat chicks nose. Then you might have to consider suicide.

where were you riding that you saw AF1 land? Did he fly into CS or Denver?
homestead trail northbound. Looked like it was just hovering (cuz it's so damned big). Landed at peterson, even though the news said buckley. What's 60 miles between friends?

Isn't CO a 'barely Kerry' state?
not any more. Dems haven't won since 92 & it's not looking good now. Kerry has been here only twice this year, but i think is due to drop in (boulder?) next week.

said it was a W rally - no fat chicks. In fact, there were plenty of hotties.

candy crowley & greta van susteren were on the SS "no access" list. :woof: :oink:
