There is no other chairman of a county party quite like Al Baldwin. Al's brilliant white hair and commanding presence, demonstrate the strong leadership of the Democrats in the county. The event was held in a chapel on the Bowling Green campus and the place was packed. Outside, there were Blackwell protestors who mainly tried to disrupt the excitement of the meeting, but who after awhile gave up and smoked some cigars. Eventually, the abandoned their placards on the ground. We spoke to an enthusiastic crowd and obviously, one of the most liberal crowds we would meet along the way. This was one of the stops where Liz Brown's speech was particularly well received because, as is your correspondent's perception, so many of the young people in the crowd related to the way she spoke and her speech patterns. Again, there was a lot of media in the crowd and folks seemed genuinely excited on the Bowling Green campus that so many statewide office seekers were there seeking their approval. The excitement was starting to reach a fever pitch. All to quickly though, it was time to make off for the next event.
