I was out with Vlad again tonight and we stuck up another 16 posters in
bars, sometimes accompanied by cheers that could be heard out in the
street, sometimes by praises to God himself that such a candidate has come
along.

We still have more Brooklyn bars to visit.

It's true!

Not to brag or anything but I left Gary off in front of one establishment.
He walked in and about 30 seconds later I heard the entire bar erupt in
hoots and hollars. Then they started chanting POPKIN, POPKIN, POPKIN. I am
not ashamed to admit that I got a little choked up at this point. It was
like everything I (we) believed in finally mattered. The people were behind
us, it resonated with folks who are just plain tired of big brothers meddling in their lives. It truly, truly was a beautiful moment. Like something out of a movie.
