Great photos of Obama's rally in Minneapolis today.

[Drunken Irishman]

Close to 20,000 turned out to hear him speak today in Minneapolis.

GOBAMA!

1. Gobama!!!

2. That is insane.

How is he not 20 pts ahead!?!

[FrenchieCat]

12. Because he is for "we the people".......and thus far,

we have been losing.

Give him a couple of more days! :)

18. Dunno, unsane. But it is insane!

20. It's almost impossible to tell whether or not Obama's ahead, there's an incredible amount of lying

Gallup, Rasmussen and Bloomberg seem to be showing the most realistic odds, but they're also showing against Obama.

USAPolls and USA Today are showing lies, and it's impossible to tell how many others are doing the same.

However, it's reasonable to assume that the republican rags are spinning positive republican polls to rally a majority
around the weakest Democratic candidate--Hillary.

Check www.realclearpolitics.com for a full listing of what the individual sites are posting. I don't trust realclearpolitics,
but their polls match up with their sources.

4. Great pics. What's it like on the ground up there in Minnesota?

Is there a sense of a strong, close finish, or does one camp or the other have momentum?

I bet Mitt Romney couldn't fill an arena of that size.

5. Nice Pictures, DI.

Sort of reminds me when i went to go hear Edwards talk. I, too, got some cool shots! I'll bet you had fun, huh.

6. These are exciting! And I'm not even an Obama supporter!

It's so encouraging to see so many people involved and caring. Add that to the large crowds Hillary attracts and I think the Dems are going to do very well in November.

7. Hey, Drunken Irishman...Super Tues is gonna SOBER you up. lol. n/t

[MadBadger]

9. Was that really necessary? This is a positive thread about Obama, and you are making it negative

[Tom Strong]

11. Lighten up. It's just some friendly taunting. Makes the game more exciting. n/t

22. "Game"...you think this is a f******ng GAME?

Have you lost your mind?

[thoughtcrime1984]

25. Just like Hillary, ain't this shit fun!? See if you think it's fun on Tuesday!

10. Hey Tom Strong, STFU.

13. See, now here's a guy who knows how to trash talk. And I'm not offened in the least. n/t

show up at her rallies??

14. Very inspiring photos

I have mixed feelings about the slogan. As a person who lived through the Civil Rights Era, I feel that the slogan slights those who worked so hard to get the vote for African Americans and to get more rights for women.

15. one of his staffers became a good friend in Iowa. She's in Minneapolis

now and doing well. I think I see her in pick #4. Go Carrianna.

16. We just got home from the Rally. Holy Cow that was historic!

We got in line at about 11:30 and were already in a pretty huge line at that point. As we waited we watched a steady stream of awe inspired faces, pleasantly suprised at the size of crowd. Finally at about 1:40 we started filing in. We got some pretty good seats but were seated behind Barack, so all pics were into the lighting and I didn't get great pics.

We watched the Target Center fill right up by about 4:00. I think it was an amazingly diverse crowd, full of enthusiasm.

Barack was excellent, his speech was so full of common sense and wisdom. I like how, at the beginning of his speech, he asked us to all sit down if we had seats, so we would all be "more comfortabe"...that is one ego that doesn't need to be constantly stroked.

I don't feel optimistic because I have been told to be. I am optimistic because there were 20,000+ people who will do the work needed to elect Barack Obama.

19. I watched a stream and it was thrilling

I can imagine being there. Wow. :)

17. Obama's giving us something

to believe in after 8 years of the bushits and wanting something different than the same ol' clintons.

23. Is it the super bowl?
