I'm now convinced Joe's the man.(pics)

Burlington Iowa 9a.m January 2nd

I just saw Joe at the Arts for Living Center. About 150 people braved 8 inches of new snow, 10 above temperatures, and 75 icy steps straight up to be there. I told him I was going to report to Democratic Underground, and he said, "tell them to please come above ground long enough to support us.:)
There were many "undecideds" who I believe came away convinced, and supporters who went away more sure of their choice.
He is such a genuine, passionate, gracious, and humble man! I told him I didn't get his book for Christmas, and he told me to leave my address so he could send me one. It was rather unnerving for me that he spent much of his time sitting on the arm of the pew right next to me. :blush:
Of course, he focused much of his talk on foreign policy. I don't believe this makes him a "one trick pony". I think he's correct that getting back our prestige, and reversing * whacked out policies are priority one before progress can be made in any other area. He took a couple of well deserved jabs at Richardson, including his assertion that he can bring everyone out of Iraq in three months. It wasn't negativity, it was more like "bless his naive heart but..." Genuine anger, and negativity were reserved for *.
I feel Joe is most qualified to take action from behind the "big desk" on day one, and that he is going to surprise a lot of people on Thursday night!









Joe's brother- "If I were more important I would get the Secret Service."
