1. That last picture is worth a million votes!!!

[stellanoir]

5. I've never cried over a political rally in my entire life as I did during two rallies for Obama

over the last two weeks.

Just saying

[zonkers]

11. Be careful! Showing emotion is very cultish behavior... haven't you heard?

But seriously, all the pics coming back from the Seattle Obama rally are awesome! Right now, Obama is like a sports car doing sixty. When he really puts the hammer down and hits 100. The rest will be history. Note: I do not really have a horse in this race. I like Obama but I can take Hilly.

2. I love Obama but...why is she crying....?

[bigdarryl]

3. I hear a lot of girls cry at his rallies

[L. Coyote]

16. If they start screaming, like for the Beatles, I'll just have to quit politics!

Or change my hair :rofl:

[SammyWinstonJack]

4. Some people are just more emotional than others, I guess.

:shrug:

[Barack_America]

13. I'll admit it...

I'd probably cry. It doesn't take much for me. I'm a wimp.

6. Powerful image

[flpoljunkie]

14. Did you notice, WesDem, that she was in the first photo, as well?

7. That sure is a giant cult!

8. Blue-Jay: Is your name calling constructive? n/t

[Blue-Jay]

10. Is your sarcas-o-meter broken?

Idiot.

[Henryman]

20. Blue-Jay....

"Idiot" ????
You had no sarcastic intension.
YOU are the problem.
Hide behind your keyboard and call names.
Continue to think it's everybody else's fault because no one ever loved you.
LOSER!

9. "Obama welcome louder than booming thunder"

LIVE from KeyArena: WOW! Obama welcome louder than booming thunder

I'm not sure any noise could have prepared us for the booming thunder that greeted Senator Barack Obama when he climbed the stairs to begin his rally address to the huge crowd assembled here at KeyArena.

It was so loud that it was impossible to hear anything else in those moments. I know my ears are still ringing and my head is still pounding.

It was simply incredible.

Senator Obama is speaking now, and I have to admit, it's really hard for me to type anything he's saying because he is a such a captivating leader. And the energy here is infectious. Contagious. Electric. You really have to be here to feel this, but it's such a great feeling. It's politics that makes you happy to be alive, happy to be involved, happy to be part of something that is bigger than one person.

:woohoo:

Meanwhile, the chorus of cynics grows louder and louder...

17. The Obama movement

I heard a reporter on POTUS say, Its hard as a reporter not to be captivated by him. He gives you chills when he speaks. WOW. This was coming from a reporter from the Washington Post. And it was a guy

[Scurrilous]

12. Great photos.

:thumbsup:

[Cha]

15. Rec'd! A couple more votes for the front

page where even more people can see these amazing pics in Seattle! Thanks, Florida!!

[Bullet1987]

18. Be careful guys!!!

You know the Clinton supporters think we think Obama is a demigod!!!

19. I just got home from the Rally.

My husband dropped my friend Chikako and I off in front at 11:00 and went to look for parking. By the time he got back it was capacity. He had to stand outside with the other 3 to 5 thousand on each side of the arena.

I am still in awe. It was wonderful. Governer, Christine Gregoire, announced endorsement. Barack had the crowd of 21 thousand believing we can change the world. He is a hero!

I will try to get my photos off the camera.

YES WE CAN!

Yay SEATTLE!

WOOO HOOOO!:grouphug:

[RiverStone]

21. Great pics --- thank you

I had to sneak and watch him streamed live at work --- today I will caucus for him in snowy Washington.

It was another reminder that he has the capacity to move a crowd, and a country, like no other in recent history.

It will be an honor to fight for Obama today!
