(less one day) I was at the McCain-Palin rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin!!! (my home town) :-D
And here are the pictures to prove it. :)
Some of the best audience questions were asked at this rally, but the two that stuck out--and the two who have now gone on to YouTube and Internet fame--are the "angry man," and James Harris, a local black conservative talk show host.
That's right, I said it: black and conservative in the same sentence. O_o
There are a few out there, though sad to say, besides James (who told McCain that he's taken an "ass whooping" from his detractors), the only other black conservatives I can think of I can count on ONE hand: Michael Steele, J.C. Watts, Alan Keyes, Condie Rice, and Colin Powell (tho it seems this may be changing). Why is that? Do people of color see ONLY color in candidates, and refuse to hear the truth? Why that seems small minded and, dare I say it, racist!
Poor James, since the rally, he has actually received death threats about where he stands. But McCain must have taken James' plea to heart, because he definitely came out stronger in this last debate than the other two!
It was a very exciting day; I got to spend time with my parents, the weather was absolutely stunning, the people in line (about 5,000!) were warm and friendly, and the Obama protestors were few and far between. Almost the perfect day, IMO!
