ASHWAUBENON — Supporters lined up this morning outside the Resch Center to see Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., speak at noon.

Shortly after 8:30 a.m., the line had reached beyond the Don Hutson Center. The crowd leaned younger and more diverse than the gathering at the rally last week for Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and his running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, also held at the Resch Center, 1901 S. Oneida St.

Staff from the Obama campaign mingled today with the crowd and riled them up, saying “When I say ‘O,’ you say ‘Bama.’”

2. Do you know if Obama will have a rally in MN, too?

We could use some of that. The polls are close in MN.

5. I do know that he's moved staff out of Montana and sent them to Wisconsin and Minnesota

I do expect to see them increase their focus and presence there.

[Pirate Smile]

7. I thought it was North Dakota, not Montana, unless he did it for both states which I wouldn't doubt.

the audience. Is there a large democratic movement in that community?

[Eric J in MN]

10. I don't know about in Wisconsin, but in border state Minnesota,

...American Indians tend to support Democrats.

[The Wielding Truth]

26. Thanks for doing the leg work. I thought you might have known

how involved and how they felt about Obama.

[bigtree]

28. I hoped someone would come on and speak about their personal perspective there

. . . but we do have an ACTIVE blog page for Native Americans in Wisconsin at the Obama site:

Wisconsin Indians for Barack
An inter-tribal organizing group for Obama in Wisconsin. Wisconsin Indians and friends are welcome.

This is a new part of his speech.

[Phoonzang]

22. Ok, I just turned it on....why does he sound funny?

It's like he's getting confused about what to say and is sounding....choppy.

Edit: Ok, it looks like he's gotten back on track.

[Ichingcarpenter]

be done!
