2. This was today ?

HOT damn .... Missouri get's more love ....

You know ? .. One thing I noted about the current environment: The Democratic Party culture, primarily surrounding Obama's campaign, is SO vibrant and SO alive ...

This vibe is so worthy of respect and embrace ...

It is a fucking FREIGHT TRAIN that nobody can stop ....

7. Thanks for the pics, I will now spend hours trying to find myself in the crowd.

There were really long lines, but no one was complaining. Obama actually went on about 10 minutes early, and spoke for about 30 minutes. He repeated the "shared my toys in kindergarten" line, not much of a response though. I felt it was pretty much the same speech we've been hearing the past week or so with an emphasis on GOTV, telling the crowd, "you don't have to boo McCain, just vote", and "when you vote take 5 people with you".

Because DUers are freaks, we could probably repeat Obama's speeches verbatim because we watch him all the time. But the thing is, there were some really touching moments when his voice would get a little quieter, and you could tell he was searching for just the right words to express what he was feeling at that moment, not just reciting a stump speech. In the midst of this grinding campaign, Obama is still tremendously thoughtful and full of empathy, and I feel fortunate that I got to witness it in person.

11. Obama should be ashamed of those giant ROMAN FORUM letters

he is so presumptuous. Next thing you know he'll give a speech in front of a giant styrofoam sculpture of his head "Mt. Rushmore" style.
