Bob Howard, a Chicago resident, was there on October 2, 2002 in Federal Plaza when a young State Senator with an unusual name stood up before a crowd and declared, "I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war."
In fact, Bob can be seen among the crowd in the thirteen seconds of video that exist from the rally...
Five years later, when we finished editing the video from Barack's speech outlining his plan to end the war at DePaul University, we noticed a familiar face in the audience...
And today, we caught up with Bob on his way to the polls...
