Great photos Gsoboi!! I'm jealous because I doubt Obama/Biden will come here to Maryland since Maryland's electoral votes are pretty much assured to go to Obama. I like your enthusiasm .
NC A&T is a traditionally black university, isn't it?
Like I said, Obama is making waves in urban areas across this state. I have real doubts about McCain being able to hold it this year. I have to admit it's a surprise to me. His support will have to come from the rural areas. And they have to vote.
and they will vote for him, you better join in so won't feel left out
As for the numbers coming out for Palin, its been confirmed a few times that McCain's camp has exaggerated numbers, sometimes based on secret service estimates (ss denies giving estimates) and sometimes by fire chiefs.
Mike Tucker, a local fire marshal, estimated 60,000. But reporters on the ground, including AP's Brendan Farrington and my colleague Ken Vogel, would only say "tens of thousands," suggesting the marshal's estimate was on the high side. The St. Pete Times's Adam Smith had another fire official in the crowd say it was about 25,000.

Mike Tucker estimated the crowd at 60k...but it was 25k. That's a nice exaggeration....kinda like saying that organizing a community qualifies you to be president.
Good job, Mike Tucker, you earned your Democrat stripes today.
It is disheartening to see my state turning purple. Liberals move here in droves from areas ruined by democrat corruption and want to vote in the same type of people here which will ruin NC. This state was built on conservative principals(blue dogs and pubs), which directly led to it being a great place to live and do business. I fear the result of the exodus from the northeast and west. Please remember what you left when looking for a better opportunity in the south, we do not want it that way here. [/rant off]
