Trying to see Obama

Well, we tried to, anyway. He was here this weekend...well, in Denver and Fort Collins. (He doesn't need to come to our little liberal haven here in Boulder County.) We drove up to Paul's parents' house and caravaned over to the CSU campus...but the line was over 3 miles long. I guess the capacity of the rally was only 20K and there were well over 50K people there. We opted instead to walk around and try and find the place where his bus would exit. We got to see the bus and all the secret service people and we got to hear the roar of the crowd inside. (Thanks to the one Secret Service guy who hinted where he'd be exiting.) There were many cops on horses...entertaining for Allison and Thomas...and the entire event looked well-organized. It was very promising for all of us to see how many people came out to show their support. Since Colorado is a swing state it's neat to know our votes count. We already voted...don't you just love mail-in ballots? I wish I had a picture to post...alas, a black tour bus doesn't make a very exciting picture. One week to go until this exciting/stressfil time is over...
