Miller had like 5 people there.  *sigh*
Dude can really bring the noise!

The Miller campaign had claimed to have many supporters in the area.  Then on Friday he was left standing at the monument to the first amendment and free speech. 

But on Thursday, just the day before, 400 people turned out for the dedication of the monument.

Charlottesville is known for many things.  Apathy is not one of them, and this silence is deafening.  This was at lunch time, and a perfect opportunity for downtown workers to attend had they been so inclined.

The Charlottesville community has a very good grasp on silence.  The National Day of Silence is this Wednesday, and it was started in 1996 by a UVA student, Maria Pulzetti.  This really is a point of community pride and tradition, and not restricted to the GLBT community.

Symbolically this guy's political aspirations were sacrificed at the altar.  And the altar is free speech.
 

Where were the members of the Charlottesville Democratic Committee? The U Va Democratic Club (assuming there is one)? and so on. I am astonished they did not show up as a courtesy if nothing else, especially since Mr. Miller has so assiduously cultivated the activists, with whom he presumably worked years ago when he held a position with the Fairfax Democratic Committee,. Not to mention that I have heard several times that the machine reps are all for Miller over the outsider, Webb. Any clues, Kathy? If we're not careful, Miller will get the sympathy vote for the underdog here.

Where were they literally?  Don't need to know, and don't want to know.  But your list is barely half of who "ought" to have been there out of courtesy.

And if you find yourself feeling sorry for Miller, think about Kevin Flanagan.

Speaking only for myself, if I had to choose between my right arm and being shunned at a monument to free speech, the arm goes. With anesthesia, of course.

With complete and accurate information, people can make their own choices.
