The songs - and the candidate - remain the same 05:02am on 30 Oct 2008 Great piece, but I worked as a volunteer at the Kerry rally in Madison, and it was amazing with 80,000 people in a city of over 200,000. I did not see people leaving after Bruce Springsteen sang so I think the writer's comments saying that people went back to their offices was misleading. People came from all over and it was a glorious, sunny day where all were welcome, contrasted with Bush rallies where people were controlled and in rare cases, thrown out with opposing T-shirts, etc.
I thought this event was symbolic and have talked about it as being the height of how a democracy should be, so comments that diminished this event hurt a little....Jenny Wren
