Look at all these young kids at the rally on OSU campus? Their has got to be 50k plus! Holy smoke, the camera just panned over and if the other side is as much, it may be as much as that Oregon rally he had in 08(albeit not as much as his st louis rally)! What was the AP saying about an enthusiasm gap? LOL!
Join me over the jump for discussion!
Here is the online feed from OFA:

I will check back when Michelle comes on at 8 and then POTUS is on five minutes after his wife... ENJOY!
Update x 1: Michelle says Her husband has been fighting for the kind of change that you all voted for in 08! And she goes on to say she is Mother in chief! Ties in her kids with the kids at OSU and their future is at stake! And then she intro her Husband to a roaring applause.
Update x 2: POTUS took the stage, says OHHHHH, to a HIOOOOO! LOL! He goes into his stump speech. Reminds everyone that they lost 6 million jobs before he was even sworn in! He thought that because of the crisis that he thought the republicans would help. BUT... He says, the pubs tried playing him and us(ananlysis, in short)!
Update x 3: Potus says PUBS want to ride frustration all the way to being back in power. Reminds them it was their policies that got us into this mess! (YUP)! Exact same agenda if pubs take Congress taht they had in 2000 -2008, (you know tax cuts for the rich)!
Update x4: Potus says they want to repeal everything and go back to reaganism! The crowd exhuberantly says, NOOOOOOOO!
Upadte x5: (They can't have the keys back). He gets the car out of the ditch and He looks over his shoulder and gets a tap on his shoulder, and he looks back and it is the republicans, they want the keys back. You can't have the keys back you don't know how to drive! Crowd goes crazy and finds it humorous!
Update x 6: Says other side is hoping you all have amnesia. Says the country is based on HOPE not FEAR! He says he came from a working family and went to scholl on scholarships. Reiterates, did not grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth(that is correct)! Says abe licoln could not win nomination in republican party! LOL!
Update x 7: Talks about building wind and solar plants right here in the US of A! Says republicans will block financial aide and will make 20% cuts! He has the crods attention, says that he will make permanant a 10,000 dollar tax credit for every student! WOW!
Update x 8: Says special intersts are fighting back. The empire strikes back, he says! LOL! Crowd laughs. Says they are pouring in tens of millions of dollars into the elections for republicans. Says, we are doing change inch by inch because of obstructionism. It aint easy, but he is slowly doing it!
Update x 9: He says, don't let them win! He says because of you, college is more affordable, and because of you all combat troops are out of IRAQ! PHEW! He says the Founders said we hold these truths to be self evident, That all men are created equal. We had to fight for womans right to vote, and the civil rights acts, and putting men on the moon. He says, that each time that change happened in the past, someone said NO, and said it could NOT happen.
He says if we just quit, nothing would have happened.
He says do not give up HOPE, we will build a movement for change for 20 years from now and the american dream will be alive and well!
God bless you OHIO!
Great rally!
