All I can say is WOW

All I can say today is WOW...

After Representative Michele Bachmann dug up the ghost of Joseph McCarthy last night on MSNBC's Hardball, the out pouring from all the liberals, leftists, Anti-Americans, Democrats across this country has been awe inspiring. According to CBS News, over $400,000 has been donated in the last 24 hours to Elwyn "El" Tinklenberg, her Democratic opponent for the 6th District seat in Minnesota. To quote Tinklenberg Campaign Manager Anna Richey:

"It's overwhelming," said Richey. "I've gotten 600 e-mail messages into our info e-mail account in the last 12 hours. People are outraged." She said a number of the e-mails decried Bachmann's call for the investigation as modern-day McCarthyism. "People shared personal stories of how their parents were discriminated against" during that time, said Richey. The messaes, she said, came from "Republicans, Democrats, people who professed to be out of work and struggling economically but wanted to give what they could."

Then... an estimated 100,000 people flooded to the Gateway Arch in St. Louis to hear a speech by Barack Obama. It was the largest campaign stop for Obama in the United States. It eclipsed his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver this summer.

Updated: Only 75,000 people were in attendance for Obama's rally in Kansas City later in the day. Come on folks, you've got to work harder if you want to keep up with St. Louis!

It's been a WOW kind of day. There is a renewed spirit and energy in this country. If you look back just four years ago... John Kerry never could have attracted that many people to a campaign rally. Although I don't know for sure, I'd bet no one raised $400,000 in 24 hours when Kerry started getting swift-boated. But now is NOT the time to relax. Now is NOT the time to get complacent. Now is NOT the time to assume this is all wrapped up. Keep spreading the word, keep volunteering, keep dispelling the myths, rumors, and outright lies, keep working to get the change this country needs. Most importantly... VOTE!!!

But this campaign doesn't end November 5th. From the beginning of his campaign, he has always said "Change does not come from Washington, it goes to Washington." We are responsible for creating the country we want. Our President, Senators and Representatives are there to help... but it is up to us.
