I am going to see Kerry today. Special guests Bon Jovi and…actor Ted Danson. Live Broadcast here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

edit: it was amazing. I had a blue ticket so I was part of the VIP section, which meant that I got to stand right next to the stage. What was annoying was that it took forever to get in. The ticket said that doors opened at 3 pm, but they didn\\’t start letting anybody in until 3:30 pm. I finally got inside by 5 pm. I heard Rusted Root<\/i>, some female rock band where one was pregnant. Then several speakers including Ted Danson (why gray hair why), the current lietnant governor of PA, a linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers… And special musical guest Jon Bon Jovi (he only played two songs, one of which was a rally song).<\/p>\n

And of course John Kerry. Can we say that PA is Kerry country? What bothered me about the rally was how vicious some people were. Well, only when the t-shirts were being given out. As the promoters threw out the t-shirts, people would lunge and fight for them. In fact, one flew my way, but the people behind us grabbed the t-shirt out of our hands. Miffed.<\/p>\n

The crowd was huge, taking up all the open space on the CMU campus. Fortunately, it didn\\’t rain as predicted by the weather people. The entire rally was awesome. It was so much better than the McCain Rally I attended 5 years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
