1. K&R for being at the rally.

First time in my lifetime that I can recall ANY presidential candidate actually coming to the town I live in and speaking.

Had lots of presidents and candidates stop in to go to the shipyard, but none of them have done a solid stump.
The crowd was absolutely electric. I couldn't even begin to estimate how many were actually there. It was just wall to wall people.

6. I was there also

Very hot. Too bad stage was set up in a way that one third couldn't really see him but it was packed. Wall to Wall or should I say "Wall to River":)

2. How reprehensiblle! What an awful guy he is, to do something like that...

3. I sure hope the econ crisis doesn't get in the way of taking care of this.

5. The first thing to fix in the economy is the healthcare as Barack mentions it's hurting employers.>

If emplyers can catch a break in costs as Obama plans it would free up more money to run their business and raise wages.

10. I did hear that last night. Great news. I'm glad he's saying it now.

4. It's great to hear Barack talking sense to the pople after the Palin babble on Thursday, it's pure>

relief to see at least someone knows what he is doing compared to the very erractic John McCain. People can rely in consistent behavior.

7. How long has it been since a political candidate inspired people like BO has???

I've already sent in my absentee ballot, and I can't begin to describe how good it felt to actually be inspired to vote for this guy.
