I WENT TO THE RALLY IN DENVER: tried to get a panorama of the crowd, but unfortunately it had started getting dark and my camera is not that good.  (Yes, yes, it is on the wish list, but things must be bought first which affect the writing…)

Anyway, as you see, “Obama” appeared before Mitt:

Yes, I do realize it’s a silly joke.  BUT it is fun.

Mitt and Ann DID appear:

A youngish crowd and the 18000 person capacity “Comfort Dental” Fiddler’s Green amphitheater seemed filled to capacity.  Mitt was visibly moved by the size of the crowd.  There also appeared to my eye to be more women than men.

The energy level was incredible, even though it got very cold.  My voice is QUITE gone.  I don’t remember screaming, but my family tells me I did.

Mind you, this was one of two appearances in the state today.

Mittmentum.  We have it.

WHEN LIBERALS ‘APOLOGIZE’: SiriusXM Gay Leftist Host Michelangelo Signorile Issues Apology, Of Sorts.

Bruce Carroll’s translation:  “Gay Romney supporters are still scum and should die, I was just tired and got caught on tape.  I’m not making excuses, but actually I am.  Also, I was ashamed into apologizing by Andrew Sullivan of all people.” — read the whole thing.

I have great sympathy and admiration for the bloggers at Gay Patriot for daring to speak out.  The left reserves their vilest attacks for those of us — me?  Female, immigrant, from country considered “Latin”, post grad, in an artistic profession — who break ranks.  As such, I honor all rank breakers. I was in the “conservative closet” for may years.  Not any more.  Win or lose, it’s time to push back.  Question their claiming of vast swaths of people.  Come out, come out, wherever you are.  (And if it’s not clear what I mean, I mean come out about your political beliefs, even if, like me, you’re NOT gay.)  There are many more of us “rank breakers” than you think. Only Marxists would think people’s beliefs fall in neat groupings.  Be not afraid!
