… or not so much.
Actually, it was a bunch of pro-gay marriage protesters.
But can you imagine the headlines if it had been a Sarah Palin rally?
This one will probably remain below the radar. It, after all, contradicts the conservatives as racists/liberals as tolerant meme. This story comes from The Canadian Press.

As I read the reports of people chanting “U-S-A” because they are proud of their country for the first time ever, I can’t help but feeling a little sad for them. If their love of this country stems only from who is elected president, they are missing something about what it is to love [...]
I was listening to NPR on my way down to Montpelier the other night (words I never, ever thought I would write) and they were playing interviews of people leaving the polls. One woman who voted for Obama said that she was in the over $250,000 category, but she is happy to give some [...]

The first is the political climate. [...]
You know what to do…
Go Vote!
And remember, if you are in the Greater Burlington Area, watch the live election coverage starting tonight at 7:30 on Channel 17 or online at channel17.org. I’m not just saying that because I will be on reporting live from Montpelier, with interviews from the Vermont Republicans.
There will also be [...]
Over the past couple of years, I have flirted with the idea of voting third party. The Republican Party that I enthusiastically supported in the 1990’s does not exist in the practices of the current national GOP, as a whole.
I decided, though, that it makes little sense to go with a third party.
