EAST LANSING, Mich. - Thousands of people, many of them Michigan State University students, roared as Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama took the stage at an outdoor rally in the middle of campus.

The Michigan State stop followed a morning rally in Grand Rapids, where nearly 16,000 people turned out to see Obama.

The Illinois senator got the East Lansing crowd going by yelling, "Go green!"

The audience roared back, "Go white!"

Obama also said he was excited to be at Magic Johnson's alma mater and to meet Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo. He held up a green-and-white basketball jersey with "Obama 08" on it.
