Slog - Comments on Kerry at the UW http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/kerry_at_the_uw I misread the event information and ended up missing John Kerry's appearance this morning at the UW, where the former presidential candidate stumped for Obama alongside Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels and Washington Congressman Adam Smith. But StrangrFlickr contributor Bryce Beamish was there. A couple more of his event photos here....

Way to go, Kerry!

Ran into a woman with a white version of my blue Obama button today, and everyone at the diner is really looking forward to voting for him!

I mean, since Kerry lost the 2004 election, should he be the one driving an Osama bandwagon? I'm just sayin'....

See my post below. 75 isn't an accurate number. At all.

Look, the Paulites can't even march in a WoW server without having to go all "don't attack me this is an RP server" ...

I'll be nice and say Ron Paul got 80, how's that.

Still pretty dismal for the Candidate himself.

He actually spoke quite well considering the caricatures of him from '04 and his uptight debate performances. He was at ease, somewhat humorous, not too droning or highbrow.

It was mostly undergrads in the audience and he was there to get them excited and interested in politics in general and Obama in particular (with Nickels chummily perched on a stool and looking on from the side of the stage) and I think he did a pretty good job - there were lots of giddy, smiling, young people carrying around Obama buttons, stickers and signs. Not sure why they had that strange line up of students on the stage behind him (moral support?), but there was one in the center back who continually nodded his head thru everything that was said by Rep. Smith, Nickels, and Kerry - very enthused.

Seeing him live, I think I would have a beer with him. But I don't think he would've made a great president.

The ones on the WoW server showing the Ron Paulites having to stick to safe areas while people /spit and /barf on them, or the ones that show Kerry got more people to turn out for Obama than Ron Paul got to turn out for himself today in Seattle? Well, @10, which?

Meanwhile three posts below, Ryan has a post about the event with a photo showing several hundred people. (hint, it's behind the jump).

See it's simple? Sheesh.
