Grandma's House

Okay, like I said I couldn't get tickets to see President Bush this morning in Springfield, but it was covered live on television here. It was cold (for July) and drizzly, but everyone (except the few protestors on hand) was in a jubilant mood. Beside the President, Senators Jim Talent and Kit Bond were there, Congressman Roy Blunt, and most of the Republicans running for state office were there today. The stadium was full, and people were cheering the man of the hour. I think it was great that President Bush kicked off his campaign here in southwest Missouri. It is nice being appreciated. Now for the speech. I didn't get it, but Resplendent Mango, who also lives in Springfield, was there and has an in-depth report, complete with pictures. I can tell you that, after watching highlights of the Democratic National Convention, it was so refreshing to see someone on the campaign trail who was relaxed, at ease, and completely in sync with his audience. Let the games begin.
