Applause for Nancy. She appreciates, I think, the outpouring of "support" (for want of a better word).
I'm really teary eyed. She's mighty strong, to do this for the country.

C-SPAN is respectively quiet, just the natural audio.
To: Howlin
"We love you, Mrs. Reagan!"And there went my composure. She is a strong woman, her husband would love the crowd's affection.

"OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN" is a perfect slogan for this occasion.
At the same time, it gives one quite a feeling of awe, wonder, and pride to witness how much President Reagan meant to so many Americans and other people around the world.
Is FR slow today, or is it just me?

They are sending their love to Nancy Reagan and telling her how much they appreciate her husband!
This is a wonderful thing and will help her a great deal.
To: cyncooper
She has seemed genuinely surprised when people have been applauding her!

Well yeah but hardly anyone else would know that... :-) The media's motto is "what they don't know can't hurt them..."

Bless her precious and faithful heart. They said earlier that people were standing 4 and 5 deep on Constitution, in 90 degree heat, but it looks more like 7 or 8 to me.

My cable company is showing CSPAN today with a severe herringbone pattern: sound fine, no picture.
I wish I had two tvs.

Matthews on PMSNBC talking about how there aren't any Dems invited to participate in the ceremonies. Nonsense. There are some notable communists among the honored guests.

I think the crowds are giving her strength to get through all of this. She looks better this afternoon then she did this morning.

Brit Hume called it, "a smattering of applause"!
