OUTSTANDING!!! Some of those folks looked like they were going to get a bit aggressive with you - @*&^%$)ing snots.
I'm afraid so. If you didn't notice, I just asked them nicely who they wanted to have win the election for governor. After due reflection, I think that may have been the problem. Politeness kills these people. So remember, whenever you see one, make sure to be as nice as humanly possible. I think that to see the "other side" as anything other than demons rocks their worldview so severely they have to attack. And yes, I did feel physically threatened.
If someone told me that I would have the guts to stand up to that threatening a crowd, I would have said "No way".
But I wanted to get great video, and - judging by the comments today - I did.
