Shock and awe in Northeastern Ohio
According to a local newspaper, The Twinsburg Bulletin, Al Franken brought the splendor of his high powered persona to the University of Akron last week, in support of Democratic candidates. One thing you should know about Northeastern Ohio, they love their football here, and they love college football even more!
Picture a large stadium filled with cheering fans…picture the parking lot… a sea of cars…now, picture Franken’s audience, filling…the band section! Yes, according to page 22 of the Twinsburg Bulletin, Al Franken spoke to “More than 250 people…” at the University of Akron. 250! Wow!
Colleges are full of impressionable young minds, mostly liberal. Sir Winston Churchill was quoted as saying, “If a man is not a liberal when he is 18, he has no heart.” (Sagely, Sir Winston went on to say, “If a man is not a conservative by the age of 30, he has no brain!”) Still, on a campus of enthusiastic and exuberant, liberal leaning youth, barely a corporal’s guard shows up to hear what Franken had to say.
Kinda gives you hope for the future, doesn’t it?
