Our mascot Andy the donkey. This is where the Republicans were allowed to watch the stump.

The wall of candidates!!! There is John R. Dollriehs on the right.

Here I am pretending to give a speech at the stump. The crowd got a kick out of it! Some were wondering what was to come in the future.

Here I am before it started. It was a great place to be. It was a fun day and I met a lot of interesting people. (photo by John R. Dollriehs)

Here I am talking to Shirley Green. She is pointing out people in the crowd that I should know. It is hard to be new, you need someone to help you remember names. (Photo by John R. Dollriehs)

Look who I bumped into, Jim Clyburn!!!! He is a great man for this state.

Introduction of the Candidates was given by State Senator John Land.

Remarks were given by Jim Rex, Superintendent of Education. Jim has been doing a great job, too bad he is surrounded by Republican. Imagine what he can do if we get him more democrats to work with. VOTE DEMOCRAT!!!!

If you haven’t seen a Linda Ketner speech, you should come out to see one. Not only is she a great speaker, she has a great following that really energizes the crowd. She has my vote!!!

Someone was also celebrating a birthday!!!!! (Photo by John R. Dollriehs)

I really enjoyed my short talk with State Senator Dick Elliot and I enjoyed his speech. He has served us well for a long time, many thanks. (Photo by John R. Dollriehs)

State Senator Yancy McGill is an excellent speaker. You need to come out and hear him speak, he is a southern gentlemen. (Photo by John R. Dollriehs)

    Congratulations on your selection as delegate to the convention. I know how excited you are to go to the convention and am happy for you. This is the most important election in many years and I feel that you are the perfect representative for the Democratic party and Barak Obama.

    After seven years of the “Son of Reagan-Bush” we need strong positive support for a new direction. I think that you will help to push for the necessary change.

    Best wishes for a positive change!
