Absolutely Incredible!

"PHILADELPHIA -- It wasn't so much that Barack Obama had real fight in him tonight, or that more people attended his rally in front of Indendence Hall than any other event since he announced his candidacy. It was the spontaneous demonstration of support that happened when it ended.

5,000 people (at least) had nowhere to go but up Market Street. Obama's charge of the night: "Declare independence!" was with them. They started with the familiar "O-Bam-A." By 7th and Market, they had graduated to "Yes we can!" By 10th and Market, with hundreds streaming in between cars on the road, they were just cheering. At first, a few Philly cops, killjoys, tried to rough the crowd to the sidewalks. It didn't work. The cops retreated to the sidewalks. By the time I ducked into my hotel, a full mile away from Independence Park, the Obama crowd was still marching."

3. I could tell last night it was a big crowd, but I had no idea it was

that huge. K&R. Please, Pennsylvania, let's name the nominee Tuesday and let him get after McSame. Way back in the winter, McSame and Obama were speaking in Oshkosh, WI at the same time, McSame drew eight hundred people, Obama drew eight thousand. People were willing to stand half a mile away to hear him speak last night. Obama can fill football stadiums if he gets the chance to.

4. I agree...McCain doesn't have a chance!

Obama will wipe the floor with him, and they know it! Which is why they are trying to hit him early. They are horrified that their days of power are over.

6. Wow!

I'm so stressed over this primary process. An "ugh" feeling hangs in the back of my mind just waiting for the Clinton camp's next shit ball to be tossed.

So it's wonderfully uplifting to see these photos!

Thanks.
