45. Great local story on the rally

...During his remarks, Obama twice tried to draw rescue workers' attention to someone in the audience who apparently fainted.

But most in the crowd - as many as 18,000 strong by police estimates - seemed to be full of energy.

They were college students and senior citizens, activists and working mothers, even grade school kids perched atop their fathers' shoulders.

Many said they hadn't seen downtown so lively since American Idol's Chris Daughtry gave a free concert here last year. According to some, the energy was much the same.

"Obama is a total rock star," said Elizabeth McGregor, 19, a UNCG student who walked from campus with three friends. All wore Obama t-shirts and caps.

"What our parents or our grandparents had with JFK, that feeling of excitement, that's what he gives us," McGregor said.

Maggie Jeffries, 72, said that was an understatement. She and her daughter came from Raleigh to see Obama live for the first time.

"There has never been a politician like him," Jeffries said. "He brings so many people together. All you have to do is look at this crowd to see how many different people feel like he represents them. He is what America is now."

The crowd was wildly diverse, dressed in everything from sneakers and sweat pants to three-piece suits as they formed a line that snaked throughout downtown to the Depot, where Obama spoke. Vendors also lined the streers selling Obama T-shirts, caps, buttons and towels....

That just brought tears to my eyes. But that is how I think so many people feel.

[Odin2005]

46. GO-BAMA!!! GO-BAMA!!! GO-BAMA!!!
