Security at INVESCO is about as stringent as the TSA setup at McCarran International Airport. Shoes on, though. And we're in, and our time on line was about two hours. A couple of noteworthy comments:
-- From a kid selling Obama Change buttons, "I've had it with the past eight years! That's half my life!"
-- And from a cop monitoring the line, "Stay in line! No strife! This is a peaceful line!"
I talked to one of the many street entrepreneurs selling Obama T-shirts, bumper stickers, watches and whatnot. His name's Vince and he was wearing a Jason Kidd-New Jersey Nets jersey.
Vince is a real estate investor from L.A. with a lot of time on his hands right now, who also has a T-shirt store and has been tailing Obama for the past five months. He's been all over the country: Mississippi, Oregon, Pennsylvania, taking in about 100 Obama appearances. He started with about 100,000 shirts and caps and clearing (so far) $52,000. That doesn't count, "About $16,000." Where'd that go? "Donated it to Democrats, all over the country."
