On-line RSVP's are reported to be in excess of 10,000 ... area Republicans are "up-in-arms" over UMW being the site of the rally .... Mona and John Albertine and the radical right wing Free Lance Star are especially upset at the bookstore selling t-shirts that said "Obama was there, Biden was there, I was there" ... limited edition only 1,000 printed

"John McCain was dead wrong on the war. John McCain's been dead wrong in Afghanistan."

"In every single area, it seemed to me that John was mired in the past as he usually is."

John tried to lecture Barack that the surge was a strategic idea. John, listen to me.  Our own commanders said it was a tactic in order to reach a strategic objective; the strategic objective was increased force to give breathing room for the strategic political settlement.  John doesn't even know the difference between strategy and tactic and he's trying to lecture Barack. He's been dead wrong on these issues, he's tethered to a failed policy that got us in this position.  And think about, the surge is over, what's John's answer, what does he do next?  How do we leave Iraq and leave it stable? Barack's laid out exactly how to do that.  And the last point is, John talks about protecting America, he hasn't voted for the 9/11 commission recommendations, John hasn't voted for the veterans, the [Disabled Veterans of America] rates him at 20%. So look...John was on his strongest turf today and he lost and I think it's gonna be fatal.

UMW is not a big campus, I wonder how they will fit people.  Ten Thousand would be more than the number of students who go there I think.

you had about 4,000 on campus and about 1,500-2,000 off campus students.
