7. Thx for the post

It's been more than a few years since I've been in S.C. I never considered it to be a "red state", but then I mostly spent my time in Columbia.

10. As someone who is from SC....

I know what a big deal this is. I live on the coast but upstate SC is Bob Jones University territory. To get that kind of crowd there is phenomenal. I don't think we had that many in Charleston when he was here! :bounce:

17. Did you get to go when he was in Charleston elizm?

I haven't been to Charleston for a few years, but what a beautiful city!

[elizm]

21. Oh, yes!

It was the 3rd time I had seen him in SC! I was even tempted to go to Greenville but it is about a 4 hour drive. And Charleston IS still a beautiful city. In fact, I am going on Tuesday to visit some friends. :)

13. Good for Obama

It's great to see crowds coming out to support one of Democratic candidates. And Obama didn't have to take off his watch when he met crowds. ;) He trusts people and the people seem to love him.


K & R for good news about a Democrat.

[senseandsensibility]

16. The audience looks very diverse

This bodes well for Obama. He really does seem to have universal appeal.

18. Obama is a uniter, not a polarizer!

I hope he is able to break the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton cycle!

[snowbear]

19. Hey.. put that down on a bumper sticker QUICK!

"A Uniter, not a Polarizer"

~~~~~~ Very creative!

20. He does this wherever he goes. Amazing.

He has charisma, rock star appeal.

The pukes wish they had someone like him.

His campaign style is populist. People are hungry for someone to unite us. I think many people, all but the most benighted dittoheads are sick and tired of the divisions in this country. He represents hope.
