Energy building all over NH: Barack addresses overflow audience in Lebanon

LEBANON, NH...


Ok so here's the story. I'm driving to Lebanon, which is a town on the western border of the state with a population around 13,000.

By the time I found a parking spot, I was .6 miles away from the location of the event, according to the rental car's GPS device. When I finally got to the location, I saw an enormous line snaking around the block...



Here's a video of the line...

At 10:30 AM, when the event was schuedule to begin, I went up to the door to get in and was told by the police officer that the building was at capacity and that no one else was being let in. This is an 850 person capacity opera house. There was still this massive line of people outside. When the people in the line were alerted that the building was already filled, the line turned into a crowd, surrounding the front of the opera house.



All of a sudden, Barack emerged and the crowd erupted into applause. Here's some video of what he said to the crowd...

After his brief address, Barack took the time to shake hands and personally meet the people in the crowd.





I spoke to a woman who was undecided before showing up here. Here's what she said...

7. Take comfort

in the fact that it's a democratic candidate people are flocking to see
Each candidate has a different delivery but the message is largely the same.
The Bush era is over.
Your candidate may not be on top right now but our party is kicking the living shit out of the republicans.

[Colobo]

5. Obama is kickin' butt!
