I remember wondering why he seemed so fierce. Of course, after that, I found out his wife had just been hospitalized with heart problems (and later had a pacemaker implanted), so I had to watch it again with that in mind. In the circumstances, I think I would have been more than usually serious about defending life and liberty. As for the enthusiasm of supporters, I agree they can make hearing the message difficult, but I was impressed with the Congressman's ability to quiet them, and their own discipline and good nature, as well as their success in creating a winning aura. One of our main tasks is to show he's a winner and I think the sheer numbers of people displaying good natured enthusiasm, and even the variety of T-shirts and signs shows, more than words, that liberty unites us.

I thin cold calling is more productive than recommending they jump on the Mitt Romney buses, and complaining about voting machine. What you did is what he needs. He has a good message, that gets lost in the shuffle of his followers rhetoric and antics good post they have a great selection at vote-smart.org.
