Trying something new here. As some of you may know, I'm a long-time podcaster. Using some of the tech capacity, I thought I'd try posting audio instead of text on the Obama Rally and include some of my thoughts along the way.

Introducing...In This Corner...

Andre Carson steps up to introduce Senator Obama.

The Rally Begins

Stevie Wonder sets us up with all-time favorites "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" and "I Wish." The crowd is pretty stoked. Senator Obama gives us a review of the 15 months of his campaign--what he did well and what he'd change. He discusses the key themes of the campaign, the fundamentals: a new campaign for a new Washington, community organization, telling the truth to the American people on what it will take to make a sustainable difference.

The Rally Ends

Heading home just before it decided it was going to rain some more.
