Before entering the debate hall, I had more fun observing the partisans at Frieberger field. Among the more notable: a guy with a Nixon mask and a “Bush is a crook” sign; two guys dressed as dolphins — labeled the Kerry flip-flop squad (get it — Flipper was a dolphin!), a guy in his underwear wearing a Clinton mask and a strategically placed blow-up doll, two law students with signs shaped like shark fins, circling the other political signs behind the MSNBC set.
