John Kline (MN-2) and Speaker Steve Sviggum were greeting people at the GOP booth. Steve Burt, one of many who worked the Democrats' booth, wrote in livejournal.com, "The booth has been packed, and some of the merchandise (Kerry buttons, for example) sells and sells and sells once we make it available-- it's a big booth too." Other parties including the Greens and the Constitution Party had smaller booths at the Fair. | |||
