Supporters of President Obama line up hours early for a rally in Madison, Wis. (David Nakamura/Washington Post)


With the sky still dark and the weather cold, supporters already were lining up outside the capital building for a rally that (wouldn’t) start for four more hours.

. . . By 6:30 a.m., Obama fans had started to gather, holding blue placards and chanting “four more years!”

Not that WI really is one, but our Pres would never need to hold a rally like that here in NJ. And that kinda makes me sad.

I'd take off work for an Obama rally in a heartbeat. But NY is solid blue so no rally needed. Phooey.

'Tomorrow is when we bring the two together'

Night Obama elected: Unbelievable evening . . . when the hope of your heart felt filled . . . hope and change.

World brutally resistant to change . . . historic advances in health care . . . WS regs . . . faith in auto industry . . . ended war in Iraq . . . women's rights health issues . . . disaparity in wealth threatens to divide into two distinct nations . . . we're better than that

Man of hope and change . . . things aren't different now; just real. Keep hope alive and believe in our power to change the world we live in.

"Song called 'Land of Hope and Dreams'"

...outside Lambeau. They weren't there to see him, though. As usual, he just shows up and takes advantage of the situation.

. . . .listing who he believes needs a 'champion.'

His faltering voice is adding emotion to this speech. I know it's from the heart. "We'll win Wisconsin!"

POTUS out.

But we have a DISH & many times they will run it, IF they have it.

My husband told me this AM that he's not sure I'll make til it's over because I'm just a wreck! HOWEVER, he then added that HE had to admit that he was a little shakey too! NEVER have I heard those words come from his mouth.

NOTHING like this would EVER happen where I live here in Florida, so I want to thank you for the pics. I keep telling myself RobME won't win, but my brain just won't let what my mouth says sink into it!

Thanks again!!
