Clinton and Kerry in Philadelphia Monday 10/25, 10am
email | 10/23/2004 | email

Posted on 10/24/2004 2:57:35 PM PDT by SauronOfMordor

Got what follows from a homeschool discussion group I belong to:

Hi Everyone --

Sorry about the cross-posting, but this should be a pretty cool educational event.

Disclaimer -- I am only posting this to let homeschooling families know of a great educational opportunity. Nothing more, nothing less. Please do not make this a big political thread -- that's not the intention. I am a firm believer in "Take what you want and delete the rest". I'm 100% flame proof.

Former President Bill Clinton will be speaking with John Kerry at LOVE Park, 16th and JFK Blvd in Center City Philadelphia on Monday, October 25th. LOVE park is located directly next to City Hall. Gates open at 10am and you can download tickets from John Kerry's website (easily found via a google search). As of now, it appears that there are still tix available.

Be warned that even though this is a ticketed event, there will be zillions of people and visibility may be limited. I do not recommend driving, as I'm certain many of the local streets will be closed to traffic. The smartest way to come into the city is via public transit -- but check with the SEPTA website and make sure that they will be allowing trains to stop at Suburban Station (right under LOVE Park).

If you do drive -- there is plenty of free, unlimited parking between South and Catherine, and between Broad and 13th. It is an easy, 15-20 minute walk up broad street to Love Park.

Oh -- the one thing I noticed on out tix is that, for security purposes, you can't bring signs, bags, or umbrellas. Travel light.

Aileen

Don't bother Freeping it. You won't get near there. I know the area, and it's around lunchtime. It's a zoo already without BJ Clinton being there.

Has Kerry really thought this through? Clinton on the same stage with Kerry will just highlight how dull,boring,and awkward looking Kerry really is.

"You won't get near there. I know the area, and it's around lunchtime. It's a zoo already without BJ Clinton being there."

My impression also. Part of Philadelphia where the streets were planned before the automobile was invented. I sure hope they know what they're doing. Or, let me rephrase this: I sure hope they DON'T know what they're doing, and tick off a lot more suburban Philly and NJ commuters than they inspire!

"plenty of free, unlimited parking"

Really? The area must have changed a lot since I went to school! (Unless, of course, you don't care if your car is still there when you get back!)

I agree. But his campaign is kind of desperate. He will try anything at this point.

To: Clump

There's a rather interesting quote in an ABC News story linked on Drudge. Right at the end is this Clinton quote: "There's only so much anyone else can do in a campaign that he or she is not the candidate in." If this is how he feels, then why is he even bothering to show up?

If Penn. is in the bag for Kerry why is he using a big day at the last week of the campaign using his biggest boost (BJ) in Philadelphia?

Kerry has to encourage the troops to get out there and vote, vote, and vote some more. Forging that many ballots can be tiring work. (Philly is a big vote-fraud center)

My guess there are troubles with their internal polling .. plus NJ is now in play ..

Clinton will be on all the local news

Also .. they had Teddy Kennedy in town today giving speeches at a couple black churches

Last Sunday I freeped a Kerry rally north of Trenton.

I made one sign:

Driven by
Hate?

Vote Kerry!

It got many thumbs up! Even Shirley Turner made a point to stop and thank me!

All from Kerry-bestickered vehicles.

Only one in fifty-plus of the thousand plus kerry be-stickered vehicle drivers were smart enough to see the sign for what it was.

About 3 of 5 of hundreds of Bush be-sloganed vehicle drivers were astute enough to understand it was a pro Bush sign.

Amoung the Kerry voters -- hate and discord are the thema, the deep psychological underpinnings. And the surface ones too.

Does the news today re multiple Clintoon appearances for Kerry leave any doubt that the previous story this week regarding po' Bill's post-op infirmity were planted to paint him as even more of a Lazarus?

I predict he will be portrayed by the MSM as making a valiant, last-ditch effort for the Kerry camp - yet I am sure he knows Kerry is set to lose, setting up Billary yet again for 2008.

Just saw a picture of Clinton on Drudge and he looks terrible. If I were him I would be staying home and taking care of myself instead of pushing it and risking his health. But Hey it's up to him. Be a Martyr for the Cause.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to ask Bubba about those "nuisances" from his administration, a/k/a the first WTC bombing, the african embassy bombings, the Cole bombing, having OBL offered up on a silver platter.

Then, just for fun, since JFK appears to have the gift of perfect hindsight, ask him what he would have done differently than Bill.

I agree. It's a stinking nightmare driving around that area in normal traffic at 10:00 AM. If any kind of crowd shows up, this will tick off a lot of people, I'll wager.

I knew something was up when I got on the 8:43 train to Philly this morning. Group of adults waiting at the platform, several of them turned to look at me coming up the stairs and, I must say, they glared at me. For no reason whatever. I don't have BUSH/CHENEY tattooed on my forehead after all, and I have no buttons, placards, nothing political on my person. But they just plain glared at me. Maybe it's my brush cut and clean-shaven face.

And then I saw all the Kerry/Edwards buttons. Such sweet people.

The crowd wasn't very big. Love Park is a small place anyway. Lots of people were leaving during Kerry's stump speech, and lots were over shopping at the market etc.

They handed out tickets to get in the good section. But they handed them out on the street for nothing. I took two just to throw them away.

Quite a contrast with Bush rallies, where there is such demand that they must ticket.

If looking pale, wan, thin, and with larger eye bags than ever are signs of recovery from a heart bypass, Clinton is doing fine. I wish him good health.
