Hillary Clinton in Nashville.

January 27th, 2008 by leslie

After finding out that Barack Obama won the South Carolina Primaries last night (woohoo!) I found out that Hillary Clinton was due to be in Nashville, about 10 minutes away from me, in about one hour.

So, of course, I wanted to go. She was supposed to be speaking at the TSU Gymnasium around 8:30pm and we didnt get on the road till about 8:00PM because it takes Soda 30 fucking minutes before hes ever ready to go anywhere.

We finally get to TSU and from the looks of things..theres no one fuckin there. No one. But, we get inside..and the line to get into the gym to see Hillary is like…around the whole school it seems. So, we took our place at the end of the line and BAM it starts moving quick and it looks like were gonna get inside to see this bitch. RIGHT as we got to the door of the auditorium, we were rerouted to the stairwell and told by the police that we could go upstairs. Now, when I say we…it was me, Soda and about 20 other people probably.
The Secret Service was one step ahead of us. They locked the doors upstairs before we could get to it. The cops came back into the stairwell and told us all we would have to leave. I told the cop “Nice to see our Metro Police know exactly whats going on here!” Sarcastically, of course. And, well, he muttered some obscenities under his breath and then walked away. When the cops walked away..the Hillary Clinton campaign volunteers shouted “GO GO GO GO !!” and we all went hauling ass down one hallway and about 10 people got into the auditorium. As SOON as Soda and I were about to walk through..a female cop blocked the door and told us that the Secret Service was NOT ALLOWING ANYONE ELSE THROUGH at this time.
So, needless to say we were all forced to watch Hillary Clinton speak from right outside the auditorium doors. What a shame. I stayed for about 3 minutes of her speech before I realized she was saying a bunch of nothing..and left.

How fun!
Pictures and videos soon.
