The second video down on this page shows the line to get in:

Bernie speaks at 12. The event was only announced yesterday. Most people had no idea before that.

1. We can do this!

Aren't going to be easy, there's a lot of money/power opposing us. But there is a pathway open if enough of us are willing to claw our way to it.

2. I saw an HRC Group post about hundreds ...

... attending a rally for Clinton.

Hundreds, I tell you!

Hundreds!

6. Here's a clip from her rally in Durham NC yesterday:

Respectable crowd, but the reporter said that some of these folks are undecided and say they'll go to Bernie's speech today as well. (Clinton cancelled Raleigh).

These stump speeches around voting day are key.

9. Yikes, that sounds like it was horrible.

"Doors opened to the public at 2:30 p.m. Clinton didn't take the stage until after 5 p.m. in the sweltering gym.

...

One man fainted. Others are now leaving because of the heat"

She should pick bigger venues with some air circulation or air conditioning. We sometimes have hour long assemblies in our high school gym - it's ungodly hot even for that.

11. The first really hot day

not supposed to be 80 degrees in March.

---maybe she should have talked about Climate Change?

3. Is that Wilford Brimley behind him?

I'm assuming its not, but damn, that is a doppelganger if I've ever seen one.

[TIME TO PANIC]

8. Damn, I live in Raleigh and had no idea.

[marions ghost]

10. You're not alone

--it was publicly announced only yesterday. Even campaign workers only had a little more of a heads up, but not much, few hours.

[SoapBox]

14. Too late now and indeed short notice...

But I would encourage folks to sign up for email and/or text notifications.

I only have it for emails and do NOT get swamped with campaign messages...I believe that they send out messages right away, when they decide to have a rally.

13. Vice Chair Tulsi Gabbard of the DNC is speaking now

to huge applause. Talking about the war vote. Iraq and Syria.

[Duval]

15. Yayyy!! Thanks so much marions ghost!

No, I didn't know because it wasn't mentioned! We saw it mentioned in this morning's paper. I'm thrilled with the turnout.

[marions ghost]

18. It was a sudden popup

I got a little wind of it as a rumor Wednesday (unconfirmed on Facebook). Then it was announced officially Thursday on local media.

Considering the short notice and the fact that LOTS more people would have gone-- if they had known-- this was a fantastic turnout! The tip of the iceberg as far as support.

[Waiting For Everyman]

16. Are they registering people on the way in to these events?

I've asked other places but can't seem to get an answer. Anybody know?

[Rebkeh]

17. Let's get this thing done, America!

We can do this!

[marions ghost]

19. With ya all the way

---the Titanic needs a sharp turn Left to avoid the iceberg on the Right...............

(Or is it more like a Whirlwind they are reaping over there in Repuglandia).
