Large, loud crowds cheer Obama at campaign rallies

[NJmaverick]

SAN FRANCISCO – Focused on turning out base voters, President Barack Obama is being cheered at raucous rallies and spreading this message: Don't turn your back on the change happening in Washington.
He's expecting a double dose of cheer on Friday when he headlines a pair of rallies to boost two high-profile Democrats in tossup races: California Sen. Barbara Boxer and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
"We are excited about these last 10 days" before the Nov. 2 election, Obama said Thursday night.
The president is on a four-day campaign swing and visiting states where Democratic Party strategists think he's the best person to help encourage core supporters — women, minorities, young people — to vote next month.
At every stop, Obama is reminding audiences of the passion they felt in 2008 when they helped elect him and is urging them to keep the feeling alive amid the weight of the worst economic downturn in a generation.

9. I'm jealous

Obama was in my town for a fundraiser yesterday, and unless you were willing to pony up $30K for dinner or lived in the immediate neighborhood you didn't get to see him. Aside from the increase in helicopters and No Parking signs there was little indication that he was even here. Ah, the drawbacks of living in a dark blue district :)
