Obama Storms Texas

Okay, so it was just a little drizzle, but thousands of people — estimates vary between 10,000–20,000 — waited through the rain for Barack’s speech. While the speech was standard issue, albeit quality standard issue, the rock-star buzz was definitely still in effect.
As he exited the podium, people were practically running, trying to find a way backstage to have their picture taken with him. Crazy stuff.

Definitely —- DEFINITELY more than 20 thousand people there!
I’d estimate more like 25K or more.
Incredible event. Hillary, be afraid — be VERY afraid!

Hey Texas, Get out there and do the Texas 2-Step for Obama. That means vote twice on March 4th, once in the primary, then back for the caucus. Obama is running the best principaled and cleanest campaign that I have ever experienced in my lifetime. He’s ready, and the movement he supports is critical to the success of democracy. He’s not in anyone’s pocket, just has the judgement to be our best next president. I have no doubt that at the helm, he will accomplish more in 1 year to harness al-quida than anyone else. On the economy, just look at how cost effective his campaign has been managed.
Support the ‘Change we can all live by movement’. Vote for Obama
