Not the usual political post
Yowza!
Damaris called me this afternoon, all excited. She took the kids to the Kerry/Edwards rally in Denver, and their camera magnet powers were working at full strength. (She only managed a regular reporter interview...for a paper in Japan....) According to her, quite a few of the news folks got the kids in their viewfinders. So she exhorted us to be sure to watch the 5 o'clock news--all the stations. Which is of course not possible anyway. :/
I thought, "What are the chances, realistically?" Caro cynically suggested that the Liberal(Not) Media in Denver might be quite likely to show ONLY the kiddies romping, saying, "And here are some typical Kerry supporters...."
But dang! We were watching Channel 9 at JUST the right time, because all of a sudden, THERE THEY WERE! It was a nice long shot, too, because one of the girls was holding a Kerry/Edwards sign...upside-down. Someone must have brought it to her attention off-screen, because she quickly flipped it over.
And of COURSE I wasn't recording it! When we tried again at 6, the spot had been tightened up, and they didn't use the sign one, although you can still see them briefly in a wide sweep shot of the crowd.
I'm going to go look around the various stations websites now, just in case! :)
