I Just

returned back from the McCain town hall meeting. There were about 200 or 300 people there; the event wasn't publicized all that much or there would probably have been more people.

It was funny because some of the people I talked with there had also attended the Clinton town hall last Sunday. I guess I am not the only who thinks it is a great thing to have all of these candidates from both political parties here in Nevada campaigning to get our support.

I arrived at the McKinley Center just before 9:00. I was one of the first people there. The McCain campaign got some free donuts from Krispy Creme, and I wound up eating two of them. Naturally I brought my camcorder and two cameras along to record the event.

Since today is Kentucky Derby day, I will post the McCain remarks later in the day. I would say right now that the bulk of the questions he was asked had to do with immigration and Iraq. There were other questions about education and health care, and one silly audience member attacked Senator Reid (for his Iraq proposal) as a "traitor." McCain was clearly taken aback by those comments, for he said he had a lot of respect for Reid, but he simply didn't agree with Reid on this issue.

Oh, I don't want to forget that the successor as congressman to our beloved dipshit governor, Dean Heller, was also present. In fact, he wound up sharing the stage with McCain, hoping against hope some of that heroism would rub off on him. Naturally it didn't.

More later in the day...
