1. people are always fainting...

at these rallies...

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

3. Two fainted at the one I was at.

Its the hours of standing in line, and standing shoulder to shoulder for another couple of hours waiting for Obama to arrive that gets to people.

[ComtesseDeSpair]

2. I love Barack.

He's just filled to the brim with kindness and decency. So unlike the average politician.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

4. And I like how is always able to notice when it happens

even though he is concentrating on his speech.

I still can't believe I shook his hand. Both Obama and Biden. Its a moment I will never forget. I feel something special about these two, I can't explain it. I just pray that WE win. I am going to cry.

5. Unlike Palin who can't seem to hear racist sentiments being

shouted at top-lung at her speeches.

:eyes:

[rucky]

7. If you want to see what America will be like under each possible President

just go to the speeches and look at the crowds.

no contest.

14. .

:hug:

my emotions are all over the place too.

17. I met him in Lebanon, Virginia - the night of the "lipstick" non-controversy

I drove all the way from Knoxville to get in the gym when he went there. I actually got to talk to him for what felt like an eternity and speak candidly about several topics. What's amazing to me is that the same Obama you see on TV and with his family, is the same Obama you get when you talk to him.

I consider myself a smart guy but Obama is something to behold. From my conversation with him, he can think through an issue from several angles and give you an honest and straightforward answer in a heartbeat. I was amazed.

6. McCain: "I knew he was a Communist"

[damonm]

8. Root like hell for your Steelers Monday night...

Even I, a bleed-Silver-and-Black Raiders fan, will be doing that. The 'Skins must go down Monday.

(Yeah, I know...I just want to have EVERYTHING in our favor)

[qanda]

10. I know!!!!!

I hate to be this superstitious, but I cannot help it. I don't want anything going against us. Heaven help us all if McCain/Palin are sent to the White House.

[BadgerKid]

12. McCain: "What a shame. You could have charged $2.79 for that water." n/t

[SemiCharmedQuark]

15. Insert claw-y airquote here:

[npincus]

9. another one dropped???

wasn't paying full attention...

[SteveM]

11. I think it's pop culture, now (nt)

[Cronus Protagonist]

13. Redistributing the wealth, once again

A Republican would have spat on the fainter.

[riqster]

16. Socialist!

He should have drunk the water, then unzipped and 'trickled down' on the person like any good Reep would have, you betcha!

:sarcasm:

[Lancer]

18. That was cool with the water bottles. I guess they're up on Ebay by now.

After the second person fainted, Barack said in a motherly kind of tone, "I told you all you should eat before comin' to the rally!"

[vaberella]

19. People are always fainting and Obama sees them and calls out to watch over them.

Either he hands out his water bottle or someone gets one for the person and he gives advice so people are careful. He doesn't want anyone getting hurt at his rallies.

[auburngrad82]

20. It never would have happened if Joe the Plumber had fixed the damn water fountain

But he's too busy campaigning for the Geezer.

[yodoobo]

21. Man I'd love to have something of Obama's

Id build a monument around it in my house.

ok maybe not.

But then again..

hmmm
