I went to the Ohio Democratic Party fundraiser with John Kerry this morning.
I felt a little out of my depth. Almost everyone there was a big wheel. Fortunately, I think they assumed I was a big wheel, too, and they just weren’t recognizing me. I wore my button that says “I’m the decider. I vote!” and was warned that with Ken Blackwell running elections here in Ohio, perhaps I was being naive. I said I was an optimist.
I was able to walk right up and chat with Senator Kerry and shake his hand. It’s kinda fun being mistaken for a big wheel.
I saw him again, a little later, when he spoke to a student crowd at the Ohio State University.
The College Republicans had set up a recruiting table outside, with a sign that said, “Join the College Republicans, Make a Difference.” As the crowd came out after Kerry’s speech, they held up signs and one guy shouted derision through a bullhorn. Most of them were wearing masks. I told them I understood — I’d be ashamed, too.
