Wow, just wow. I watched the Republican debate, and these guys are the best the Republicans could come up with? Rommney implying we were right to go to Iraq because of 9/11... Huckabee completely bombing a question about Putin (to the point I'm not sure he even knows who Putin is)... McCain expressing his desire to spend a 100 more years in Iraq... and that was all in the last 30 minutes. Not to mention the name Regean was mentioned 59 times in a 90 minute debate, including Rommney's crazy Reagan barrage at the end. Heaven help the person who decided to do the "drink every time someone mentions Regan" drinking game, they're probably dead of alcohol poisoning now. The basic theme seemed to be "Republicans: The Party of 30 year old ideas."
In other news, 13,000 people were at the Barack Obama rally in Denver today.
For comparison sake, 12,000 people showed up to the 2004 Democratic Colorado caucus.
I also did my very first ever phone banking today, to help support Obama. On his website you can volunteer to call people in other states that have given their phone number to the campaign. So in my case it was calling people in New Mexico to let them know Obama was going to be there on Friday. They provide a script, and you click on a button depending on their responses to take you to the next thing to say. It was really easy, I'm going to definitely have to do more of this.
And hey look, a photo update with Matt Bonner, who played for the Gators during my first two years of college. He currently plays for the Spur's, and the San Antonio Gator Alumni club put together an event to buy tickets to the Spur's game and then meet him afterwards for a Q&A. I asked him about the Rowdy Reptiles, since I spent many, many, many hours waiting in line throughout my college career, and he expressed his appreciation of us rooting them on. He's a pretty cool guy in person.
