Just got back from Weird Willard event in Quad Cities, Iowa

The venue was right next to a gambling boat. Never seen anything so fitting.
I would estimate the "crowd" at about 300 - 400.
Didn't take any pics.
Stood outside helping protest. Many Ron Paul supporters, about 10 others said they were Obama supporters.
It was hot, I am old so I felt a bit weak and left.
But what a fucking joke.

Should be interesting to see how many people brave the heat.

Quite frankly, Willard doesn't seem worthy of "protesting" at this point. In fact, if he appears here in Rhode Island, I will go only to protest his buddy, former Gov Don Carcieri for refusing to answer questions about the Curt Schilling deal. Taunting Shitt will just be a bonus!

My all time favorite was from back in the chaotic days of the 2008 election season...someone opened a thread one night with the title;
"Where the Fuck are the Moderators ?????"
