Right now, the link is only a story, but they might post the whole speech/video 10-15-08
I didn't get to go, but I listened to the speech while I worked--really really good!

And we got a big crowd in this this repug enclave of SE Ohio!

1. Hey first of all: WELCOME

to DU, we were all wondering where you have been all of this time....???

what good news, I too live in OHIO, up north of Akron, which is pretty much a Blue Area....Kerry won Summit, Cuyahoga and Stark Counties in 2004. I get disgusted driving out into the countryside to see so many mcsame/pain signs. Anyway, you are in the right place now, buckle up...it is going to be a fun ride!! Change, Hope, Obama.

2. I grew up near Cleveland

When I was in volunteering yesterday, a couple from Akron stopped in the dem hq. They were happy to see so much activity. I heard on the news that the crowd was over 4000. Pretty good turnout. People keep coming in the hq to get yard signs, many of them say their first one got stolen. Like that will keep the truth secret!

I've been a DUer since 2001 (or so) but I don't post much :)

3. hey....sorry for assuming....

its funny how some DU'ers start out slow and soon have a ton of posts. I think we need to hear more from you, so keep up the good work and let us know what is happening. I am planning on doing some work next week as I am on vacation. Thanks!

btw, I was bringing my sign in everynight, but I am not feeling the hate like I did in '04, and I am not seeing any McSame/Pain bumperstickers on cars...just a bunch of yard signs mostly.
