Reply #33: As to point #5... 'tis true

Obama had an appearance Monday at Wright State University's Nutter Center near Dayton. Nutter seats roughly 17,000, perhaps a few thousand more according to how the venue is configured (basketball, hockey, and concerts are held there). When we got there a line of people stretched around the entire building. Parking was full, even in a distant lot about a half-mile or so from the arena. Traffic was pouring in from every direction, people were coming in on foot. Standing-room-only shuttle buses were carrying people to Nutter from the outlying lots.

While I am amazed at the turnout (my guess was you had to have been there by 1:30 or 2 p.m. for the 6 p.m. rally), I was in no way disappointed that I could not get in to see him. I figure this will not be his last visit to Dayton or the Miami Valley.

(HRC, on the other hand, drew a packed house at a nearby high school gymnasium over the weekend.)
