Ed Fallon playing "The Beer Barrel Polka."
He switched to guitar after a couple on accordion - and now playing Monty Python's "Galaxy Song!" Don't worry, we get political rap between songs. Says Democratic control vis a vis the war "is reason enough to elect Dave Loebsack."
Long time activist: "I still haven't seen a Hillary supporter."
Ed's closing with "This Land Is Your Land." Dave promises a short speech.
"As long as W is president and GOP is in control of congress, we'll be going on the wrong track." I'm catching bits and pieces, everyone wants to say hi and ask about my face. "Disengage immediately" in Iraq gets nice applause.
Some officials and candidates here: Larry Meyers, Rod Sullivan, Aletia Morgan (wearing a mini neon sign scrolling "VOTE FOR DAVE"; I'm settling for a plain Loebsack button.)
Would love to tell Rumsfeld: "You've been a horrible Decretary of Defense and it's time for you to resign." (Aside: Leach doesn't remind folks of this but waaaay back when his first "real" job was on Rumsfeld's congressional staff.) Dave also gives us a nice clear health care plan: "Time for single payer."
Dave joins my table for a few; says he launched the single payer line yesterday in Cedar Rapids and expects it to hit the old media soon.
