I attended the rally in Columbus yesterday it was beautiful fall
day and a great crowd. Me being 62 about 97% of the crowd was younger than me, mostly students. When I arrived about 445pm I had to walk halfway around OSU Stadium to find the end of the line, the gates opened at 5pm. By the time I reached the security gates at around 545pm I looked back and the line was still all the way around the stadium. I was about 150 feet from the stage during most of the rally and after the President finished speaking I was able to get about 75 feet from him and Michelle. I wasn't able to get any good pictures that close because of the crowd though. This morning I turned on Faux for a couple minutes (that's all I can tolerate) Brian kilmeade says the crowd was around 35000 and it was the largest crowd for Obama since the inauguration. Then that a--hole Steve Doocy says Glenn Beck's rally drew 10 times as many. I turn on the Today show and they are talking about the huge crowds that showed up for the Sarah Palin rally and went on about her making a national tour with the Teabaggers Express between now and the election. There you go that damn (liberal media) always backs the Dems.
