Barack In PHX - 13000+

This is what 13,000+ in PHX sounds like.

Crazy exciting. And this is where you sit when you get lost in traffic.

Maryvale H.S. band
Governor Napolitano
Caroline Kennedy

I got more pictures and video and will try and post.

"The Super Bowl is not until Sunday."

•  Wow.

  If Led Zeppelin wants to get the biggest crowds possible for their upcoming reunion they should open for Barack Obama...

  •  If Barack Obama's campaign was a rock tour...

    ... could you imagine the gate at the end of the tour?  Off the freakin' charts!

•  We are witnessing

  something...

  •  Fire it Up! Go Obama!

  •  ps. the flashes are really neat

    with the roar of the crowd, it really gives the sense of excitement.

    by John DE on Wed Jan 30, 2008 at 09:00:19 PM PDT

•  Holy Jeebus!

  A naked Scarlett Johanssen would get a smaller crowd. What is it like to listen to him in person?

  •  Best speaker I've

    Ever heard politician wise is Jesse Jackson.  That man live is freaking golden tongued...but I do look forward to seeing Obama come March in Ohio.

•  Nice pics and video!

  By the way, is Steve Nash really a hoser who's doing a job Americans won't do?

  •  of course

    Look at how unhappy Jason Kidd is here in NJ.

    by John DE on Wed Jan 30, 2008 at 09:12:56 PM PDT

•  Look at all those people!

  I am fired up for the rally on Saturday in Minnesota!

•  It was deafening

  and Janet Napolitano was great - as good if not better than I've ever seen her.

  Caroline Kennedy was more subdued - just my opinion.

  Great time (except for the traffic)

  •  Traffic was rough

    until I finally figured out the right lane that was actually moving. The whole event was an awesome experience.

  •  Caroline is not a spot light kind of person.

    She really never does this kind of stuff which makes it all the more touching.  She hasn't endorsed a canddiate since Teddy ran in 1980.  Not something she does lightly.

    by WisconsinJessica on Wed Jan 30, 2008 at 09:44:01 PM PDT

    •  yes. i love Caroline.

      by concerned on Thu Jan 31, 2008 at 12:33:02 AM PDT

•  Really, really encouraging.

  I've seen Obama a couple of times at (somewhat) smaller venues, but the excitement level was similar.

  by MackInTheBox on Wed Jan 30, 2008 at 09:14:41 PM PDT

•  This is amazing!!

  I think America has been looking for someone to INSPIRE THEM!

  I wonder if the Country knows whats coming? This guy is Dyn-o-Mite!!!!

  •  They will if we vote for him on 2/5

    by CeeusBeeus on Wed Jan 30, 2008 at 11:06:48 PM PDT

•  I'm

  not sure if anyone was turned away but I noticed that for a while they blocked off the far end seats directly across from the stage. They could have easily have had a capacity crowd.

  by EMKennedyLucio on Wed Jan 30, 2008 at 09:34:32 PM PDT

•  Its like a Beatles concert, wild applause

  flashing cameras, huge crowd and history being made.

  by foggycity on Wed Jan 30, 2008 at 09:35:50 PM PDT

•  OMFG!

  Looks more than 13,000

•  I'm really sorry I missed this

  There was no way I could have ducked out of work today.  Hopefully I'll get another chance.
