Breaking: More than 10,000 supporters are waiting for Obama in Milwaukee

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

It's pretty raw outside today -- cold and intermittent rain. And these people have been waiting up to two hours, overflowing the BMO Harris Pavillion on the Summerfest Grounds.

Yesterday, Wisconsin Governor (and future convicted felon) Scott Walker opined that Obama's presence in the state indicates that he was a "Wisconsin Problem." Romney should have such a "problem" here in Wisconsin.

No links yet. Obama is supposed to speak within the hour.,

4. He just took the stage...

Crowd is rocking!

"I'm glad to be in Milwaukee because before I came out here, I was able to have an outstanding sampling of bratwurst"

Acknowledging Tammy Baldwin. Crowd goes wild.

6. Jermichael Finley and Desmond Bishop are in the house...

Members of the Packers. Always good to have at a campaign stop in Wisconsin.

Talking Football: We are not as divided as some people think. We are not Bears fans first or Packers fans first. We are Americans first."

17. As a shareholder of the Great Green Bay Packers

I am happy that Finley and Bishop are in the house. I also have heard that Aaron Rogers is an Obama supporter. Any truth to that? I do know he and several other Packers came out in favor of Public Employee Unions when the Capital was being occupied.

18. yes but as a current Chicago area resident the Pack are still a close second.

[SoapBox]

20. Wow! Amazing pics

...and......Mittens? Crowds?

Oh ya, you need to have some freaks bussed in or quickly hustled from inside an office to stand behind you and look like a "crowd".

With Prez O, it's the real deal.

8. Nice

[buzzman]

12. Walker complained the other day that romney is neglecting ryan

Wha! Wha! Wha!

[TroyD]

14. Will Tammy Baldwin be appearing with the President?

That could help her name recognition across the state. She's not as well known as Thompson outside of her Milwaukee district, but this could help boost her momentum further since she is now ahead of him in the polls.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

19. She appeared before him....the "warm-up" act, if you will (nt)

15. I'd kill for some of that cold and rainy Milwaukee weather right about now.

I visited there in the spring several years ago and my sister apologized in advance for cool, cloudy, and rainy weather. I said, "You promise??"

Best time I ever had there.

Too bad they won't be in town for Obama's visit. They're in Europe. But they'll vote for him with enthusiasm just like last time.

21. According to newspaper, Milwaukee has provided Obama with his largest crowd of the campaign

17,000 turned out.
