8. watched the whole thing online

It was the first time I heard his "stump speech" in its entirety. NO teleprompters and he was VERY engaged, turning around constantly so as to talk to all of the audience.

How many people does the Dean Smith center hold? It was almost full. HUGE crowd!

10. I think it's over 21k? A friend said it was pretty packed and loud!

BTW anyone seen pix of Obama shooting hoops with the Tarheels? He worked out with Roy and Tyler Hansbrough this morning.

11. Great photos of people who are willing to listen to Sen. Obama, rather than stay home

in front of their TeeVee's to watch the endless babble about the Wright dust up.
