Madison and Obama Rock On, Record WI Primary Crowd

Crazy-great scene last night as Obama speaks before some 19,000 people in Madison, with overflow rooms housing the latecomers.

The UW-Madison art history emeritus prof next to me said the passion reminded him of RFK and the Vietnam Moratorium event in Madison in 1969, except a less angry, more clean-cut crowd.

Waiting over two hours, much of it in the cold, the crowd was electric as Obama entered, as flashes from cameras made a political moment that one feels you had be there to fully capture.
