Minnesota Observer, a blogger who writes for Mark Gisleson's marvelous Norwegianity site, went straight into the belly of the beast and attended Dr. James Dobson's "Stand for the Family" rally in St. Paul on Tuesday. He/she reports that attendance for the "Stand for the Family" rallies have been below what organizers hoped. The gathering in St. Paul was moved from the Xcel Center to the Roy Wilkins arena to accommodate a smaller crowd. A rally scheduled for Nashville was cancelled because of predicted low turnout.

As he writes, "When a flag-waving bunch of religious ideologues can't fill a hall in Nashville, this country is once again on the right path."
