THE TEA PARTY STRIKES BACK: David Kirkham — who had a heart attack a couple of weeks ago but hasn’t let that slow him down much — writes: “We are holding an ‘I Like Mike’ rally today in Salt Lake City to counter the media narrative about Senator Lee that ‘his constituents don’t like him.’ There are over 1000 people here! I can’t get the entire crowd in the photo from the stage.”

UPDATE: Kirkham emails a final tally: “1500-2000 people showed up. 2 nasty protestors arrested.”
