The Protestors Are Hugging It Out

WASHINGTON -- If there are rules inside, there are not many out here. Impassioned speeches have been interrupted by announcements about lost Cover Girl compacts and missing tambourines.

The protest has become a love fest. Rally emcee Jehmu Greene, former head of Rock the Vote, just told eveyone to, "look next to them, into their neighbors' eyes, introduce yourselves, and give them a hug."

The crowd obliged.

By popular demand, folk singer Sandy Rapp crooned her original "Count the votes" tune:

"Count the votes; it's good to tell. The sounds of freedom, live and well."
