It was like a rock concert. The crowd was well behaved and happy to be there, no one pushed or shoved in line. It was an amazing experience. Obama was ill when he took the stage. He had a cold and you could see how hard it was to keep soldiering on the campaign trail feeling bad but the moment he walked on stage he electrified the crowd. I know what you mean by watching him or the crowd. As my eye passed over everyone in the,then still standing,Reunion Arena I saw every sort of person. Asian, Indian, Hispanic , plenty of black and white people and it seemed from the dress of the crowd (if dress is an accurate predictor), every income level. I knew at that moment he would win because the diversity of the crowd was such an indicator that he was touching every sector. In Vanity Fair this month Alec Baldwin made a comment about Obama getting to the White House and thinking " Wow, this isn't what I thought it would be, You've got to put up with all this shit." Well said.KarenEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576989561179876683noreply@blogger.com
