I just saw Joe Biden, and man I hope we wins Missouri.
He was in Springfield, Missouri at Jordan Valley Park. The event started a little late, at about 11:40, instead of 11:30. Gates open at 9:30, but I was there at 8 and got a good spot. I started to feel dizzy from standing there for two hours, so I sat down and two kind old ladies kept me company and we talked politics. It was a good time, and I was happy to Joe Biden and future Missouri Governor Jay Nixon speak.

Most polls show Missouri close. Biden was here yesterday and today.

I hope we can seal the deal, and win MO.

3. This clearly shows...
...that Biden and Obama are threatening our very system of timekeeping itself. Is that change we can believe in?

I hear that even Mooselini ran the trains on time!

4. LOL. I think they were having some problem with the teleprompter. Which I don't understand.
Biden didn't even use a speech, I don't think.

If he was, he gave it his own touch on the fly.

13. He was great in person, and you should have him afterwards posing with a baby.
He was warm, and you could tell what kind of a father he was.

He got a big smile on his face and held the baby close and talked to him.

15. I'm so ready to win this thing, and just celebrate. So much heartache for eight years, time to hope.
And don't worry, we'll win!!

12. Man, I wish every sign here was Obama.
We've got McCain-Palin signs spreading like wildfire.

I'm confident that Obama will do better than Kerry did in SWMO, however.

McCain will win the region, BUT if it's razor thin in Missouri--a little extra boost from SWMO could put it in the win column.

I'm crossing my fingers.

17. Here's a video of the event:

Isn't the back drop of the park beautiful?

It's a lovely park, they didn't pan out to the crowd but I'd say about 600-800 people were there.
