7:55pm: waiting on her to arrive.
8:24pm: Eli is trying to shoot pictures. He is fail.
8:28pm: Listening to the "Carnahan Man" (a 50 + man dawning a Carnahan tee-shirt and a medal) talk about how he ran in the 50th annual marathon (26 miles!) for something... Auditorium is no where near half full and we have t-minus two minutes till start time.
8:32pm: She is here. (40-ish including 4 from thefusejoplin.com, call for back up)
8:37pm: Democratic youth president takes the podium for the introduction.
8:40pm: Carnahan takes the podium
8:40pm: "We rely on our neighbors, and we help our neighbors" think about how you can make a difference.
8:42pm: "We got any rich people that are going to die in Rolla" Carnahan on her youth hometown community pool.
8:43pm: "Getting beyond bickering, getting beyond partisanship, and realize we have problem"
8:44pm: the status quo on many issues is unsustainable. The campaign is in part about if we as a country and as a state want more of the same.
8:45pm: " I don't that there are problems that are too big to fix." But you don't always see that in political campaigns. I'm hopeful that in the next election we can talk about issues.
8:48pm: promotion of campaign, add me on twitter/facebook, text message updates.

My thoughts:
Ehh, short sweet I guess. Probably should have fielded at least a few questions but hey beggers can't be choosers. Moral seems to be low if judged by numbers but we heard that a lot of people plan to hit the streets in support. Upcoming race will be interesting, stay tuned to thefusejoplin.com for updates.
