[Cha]

4. You know they're glad to get

rain in Virginia! Rain or Shine.. those two will make it work.

[d_b]

Now that's a man who wants your vote!

:headbang:

[patrice]

5. Looks like Barack is pointing the way. Love it! And now it's mine!! Thanks Kadie!

12. .

:hi:

:kick:

6. Just exactly how many days and hours and miles did God miss

with the rain the fundies prayed would fall in Denver?

[Mojambo]

7. Hope neither one of them catches a cold. n/t

16. It was a warmish rain

According to Weather Underground, the high in Fredericksburg today was 80 -- the rain dropped the temperature some, but it was still over 70 with little or no wind when the speeches were getting underway at 6:30 and is about 67 even now. That's not catch-a-cold type rain.

17. Yeah, last thing you need on the campaign trail is a cold.

Didn't Barack have one a little while back? At least Joe wore the hat.

[AwakeAtLast]

8. McCain would have had to cancel, I'm sure

The rain would have caused his circuits to misfire. :silly:

;)

[angee_is_mad]

28. You know you ain't right

but you are funny, lol.

[AwakeAtLast]

36. I resemble that remark....

:D

[Chrisnreno]

9. Those are some amazing photos.

Thanks for sharing.

10. Meanwhile, somewhere from a bunker in DC

McCain is devising a plan to stop Hurricane Kyle. This means, of course, that he will need to re-suspend his campaign that he never suspended in the first place. Rumor is that McCain has been on the phone with NOAA to see if they can delay the landfall of Kyle to coincide with the VP debate.

[WheelWalker]

18. That's funny!

[me b zola]

27. Good to see you, VI

I occasionally take time to laugh my bottom off at what the gop has deemed to be a serious contender for president & VP. It never takes too long, though, for the seriousness of what is at stake to take me right back to worry-wort status.

I hope all is well with you. :hi:

[WheelWalker]

30. Doing great. Thanks.

Good to see ya! :hi:

[Olney Blue]

11. Beautiful!

[roguevalley]

13. Damn, I want a piece of his awesome. Even the people drowning

in the rain don't look any wetter than him. He is so wonderful.

[Thrill]

14. Republicans have to be shitting bricks seeing this in NC and VA

[graywarrior]

15. Man, every photo I see of him could be a Rembrandt.

Such emotionally powerful images.

[TheDonkey]

19. awesome!

[K Gardner]

20. These pictures are worth a thousand words.. K&R !

[LibraLiz1973]

21. Great photos!!!!

[Jackeens]

22. MAG-NIF-I-CENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

23. McCain in the Rain:

[Jennicut]

24. He's melting! I don't think I ever want to see McTroll hunched over in the rain.

[eshfemme]

25. Obama can't help it. Presidential just seeps out of his pores.

can you imagine how McCain would look? Ugh! :puke:

So yeah, even though the outlook is stormy for America right now, Obama's still going to stand tall and lead us through the rain and thunder towards the light.

[shugah]

26. was there an awning or something?

or does the rain just choose not to fall on Obama?

[kwolf68]

29. The fact he was in Fredericksburg

Which is about 45 minutes from me is awesome news, because it shows Virginia REALLY IS in play. The fact the 'blue line' has moved further down I95 is a great sign. This would be a little like McCain campaigning in Oregon to be honest. If I saw McCain in Oregon or a center left state I'd be very worried.

31. Thank you! Great pics..

Damn I love DU!

[quantass]

32. Great pics! I WISH they were larger ones so i can use as a Backdrop

[Clio the Leo]

33. Please take this in the spirit of good humor with which i'm writing it.....

..... but as any of us who are African American females or who have African American female friends .... how MUCH dedication does it take to stand in that pouring rain! LOL

Saturday is when you go get your hair done ....... everybody knows that!

That is some TRUE LOVE! lol
