1,000 SHOW UP AT Sen. Bob Corker’s healthcare town hall.

The audience was a mix of ages and ideologies, although Corker was largely playing to a home crowd. A hand-lettered poster reading “No Cap Trade/Nurses Against ObamaCare” drew heavy applause, similar sign-waving and only a few half-hearted “boos,” while preprinted signs urging “Health Care Reform” and “Public Option = Affordable Health Care” were smaller in both size and number. . . . Dr. Mark Green of Blount County got applause when he presented a 26-page health reform bill, written by area doctors and nurses, that he said could be funded with no more money than is already being spent.

Preprinted vs. handmade signs? Nice to see folks in the press noticing. And only 26 pages? What will you do with the other 974?
