Did we just break into a political rally?





On Sunday, Chad, Kevin, Sean, Jordan and I went to an Obama rally at Civic Center Park, which is just a few blocks form our apartment. We had to jump a fence to get in almost an hour before the rally started because there was a line that went on for blocks (we never did find the end of the line...)Obama was an amazing speaker, as usual, and got the crowd really pumped up. We were standing with a group of women who had not been to a political rally since seeing Bobby Kennedy. They all went to college 'during the war years' (as they put it) and had never been inspired by a candidate until Obama came around. It was really fun to talk to them and to recognize the energy they felt before with the energy we were feeling right then. Such an exciting time. I am making phone calls for Obama tonight and the rally really got me pumped to feel more like a part of this campaign. The crowd was over 100,000 and was Obama's biggest crowd in the USA. Pretty awesome. Now Vote!

  1. That's right! Rallying on the steps of the Capitol!

    Great pics too. Why is Sean chasing the man with the green gloves?
