Overflow crowd being directed to football stadium
An East Carolina University official has confirmed that anyone wanting to watch Sarah Palin’s speech who doesn’t have a ticket can do so at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
A live feed from inside Minges Coliseum is currently being played on the stadium’s scoreboard, ECU Director of Athletic Video Greg Pierce said.
As of right now, the debate will not be televised outside, he said. It will be available at 9 p.m. inside Minges Coliseum following Palin’s speech.

Years ago I met a money manager type in New Jersey, recently deceased. I recently called his son, Dean, a money manager,and ECU grad, to remind him that his Dad, Joe, taught me about the stock market in the 70s. Joe said, “the stock market is affected by investors who are driven by greed and emotion, being rational has nothing to do with the majority.” Dean remembered that Joe had said that 30 years ago, however, Dean said this, “Joe changed the saying over the last few years of his life…‘“the stock market is affected by money managers and investors who are driven by greed and emotion, being rational has nothing to do with the majority.”
Is this why our government seems to be prepared to bypass the financial community to directly buy mortgages in default? Is giving money to those with current credentials from banking and investing nothing but toxic-moronic behavior. That is, if we think money management will come forth in favor of main street, in favor of those taxpayers who are NOT CULPABLE. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

I think Joe figured it out correctly. Your comment also makes a lot of sense. The breed of money managers presently is not of the respectable, honorable that was once revered. THey can no longer be trusted and certainly are not capable of managing money appropriately for their customers.

Who was the group that was singing and playing strings? It was a family, but I missed the name.
