It's pushing two am, lots of things going on, so today I was mostly out doing instead of blogging. Will try to catch things up. Last night we decided to go see Ed Schultz the Left's talk show host out of Fargo, North Dakota. He called a 'town meeting' to hear what Alaskans think about Sarah Palin. This was a highly partisan anti-Palin crowd and a number of issues came out. The show will air Monday.
Walking over to the Wendy Williamson Auditorium we passed a couple of Nader supporters.
Schultz definitely got the crowd fired up. It seemed like a lot of these people had also been to the anti-Palin rally at Loussac Library yesterday. Only for this event they had to pay $25. People lined up on the sides to talk and the three hours passed quickly.
Toward the end, Anchorage Mayor and US Senate Candidate against Sen. Ted Stevens dropped in to say hello to Ed and the audience.
I've only heard Ed Schultz a couple of times on Air America. What was most interesting to me was after the filming was over he talked to the audience and said he'd been a conservative, but slowly began to realize that the Democrats owned all the right answers. The audience was there getting lots of inspiration being in the presence of a lot of like minded people.
