Episode 2: Rally Girls end of Summer Update: Page 1
Page 2 Rally Girls in Missouri, Iowa and Kentucky! Episode 2, Page 1 Welcome to the Rally-Girls end of summer political blog. We have been very busy since our last update, traveling to exotic locations like...well, Iowa...again. We went to the Hawkeye Labor Council Forum in Cedar Rapids, The Democratic Debates at Drake University, a Hillary and Bill rally in Des Moines, the Fred Thompson kickoff events in Des Moines, Council Bluffs, Souix City, Dubuque and Davenport and the Harkin Steak Fry in Indianola. We also attended an Obama rally in Lexington, KY, a Labor Day Weekend Event in Independence, Missouri and MORE! |
![]() The Hill-Mobile! This is Joensy, owner of the nationally famous Hill-Mobile. We caught sight of him zipping around the parking lot of Hawkeye Downs. We flagged him down and he was nice enough to pull over and let us take pictures of him and his awesome set of wheels. Thanks Joensy! Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden and Dennis Kucinich all attended the Hawkeye Downs event. |

![]() Rally Girl Daphne gets her picture taken with a REAL, LIVE Democratic Donkey! |
Twins? my Ass! Sharon also has her picture taken with the Dem Donkey. Daphne said they look like twins. It must be the hair. |
![]() Obamobile? Barack Obama was not without his own set of wheels. His supporters plastered a trailor in Obama paraphernalia and drove it onto the parking lot for a tailgate party. Turns out, they had to take all the signs down because people were begging for them inside the event. Demand for anything "Obama" sometimes exceeds supply! |
![]() Hawkeyes Heart Obama! A great show of support for Obama...especially once all the letters showed up! For a short while it read "AWE MA". The consantants arrived none to soon. Daphne was about to jump in and play Vanna White. |
![]() John Edwards on a Roll! The Edwards bus rolls in with Cheryl Crow's "Change Will Do You Good" blasting from the speakers. What a perfect campaign song! We wish all the candidates had picked a song this good...nothing against Celine. |

Mystery
Handshake! Daphne swears adamently that John Edwards is shaking HER hand in this photo. (left) She has no evidence to prove it, yet she stands firmly by her claim. If anyone out there has a picture to prove or disprove Daphne's contention, please send it in so she will quit talking about it. |
![]() Obama Cheerleaders! Talk about a Cheering Sections! At the Democratic Debates at Drake University, all the candidates had huge cheering sections. We have posted a few of them here but there were many more! |
![]() Hillary's cheering section. The cheer squads were all trying to out do each other so it was very LOUD and a lot of fun. |
![]() Cheers to John Edwards! |
and
Chris Dodd! |
![]() Debate Party! Obama supporters gathered at nearby Planet Sub to watch the debates. Barack Obama came to the party after the debate, spoke to the crowd, mingled with his fans, autographed books and buttons, and in general, made everyone very happy! |
![]() Another Michelle Fan! This Obama supporter proudly points out his "Michelle Obama for First Lady" button by PoliticalShop.com. If you don't have your Michelle Obama button, be sure to visit our Barack Obama page! |
| Rally Girls Sharon and Daphne traveled to Lexington, KY for an Obama Rally and Fundraiser. To be honest, we were so busy at this event, we didn't have any time to take many photos. But here's one of front of Lexington Center to prove we were there. On the way home, we stopped at Marengo Cave in Indiana (see below). | ![]() |
