Details of location of the rally are still being set. As soon as I know from the office here, I'll post location and time.

2. Hmmm...wonder if I can get my boss (me) let me have the day off!

Missed him by an hour in Springfield, IL during the Biden announcement.

3. You really owe it to yourself. Seriously.

A lifetime memory of seeing the next president, the first black president and perhaps the next FDR.

6. Well, it looks like fate has decided it for me.

I doubt I could have made it anyway - I'm having too much fun up here in red South Dakota. :eyes:

Regardless, I hope all goes well in Hawaii for Obama.

4. CANCELLED

Keith Olbermann just reported that Obama's public appearances for Thursday and Friday have been cancelled due to the health of Obama's grandmother in Hawaii. He is travelling to Hawaii to be with his grandmother in her final hours. May she find peace.

5. Confirmed... sadly he did cancel late this afternoon.

I hope his grandmother has a peaceful passing.
