Vandaag waren Victor en ik bij een enorme Obama-rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Hoewel pas zaterdag aangekondigd, stroomden de mensenmassa’s al uren voor begin van het evenement naar het Mellon Centre. Ongeduldig wachtten zo’n 17.000 fanatieke Obama-aanhangers in het ijshockeystadion op hun grote held: Barack Obama. En wij waren erbij!<\/p>\n

Omdat we morgenochtend om 5:00 uur moeten opstaan om bij een gezamenlijke rally te zijn van John McCain en Sarah Palin, hebben we vandaag nog geen verslag. Maar de foto’s wilden we jullie niet onthouden!<\/p>\n

Er liepen vele honderden vrijwilligers rond om n\u00f3g meer vrijwilligers te werven onder de wachtenden<\/p>\n

Hier zelfs drie vrijwilligers op \u00e9\u00e9n foto, en zie hoe verschillend ze zijn<\/p>\n

De teleprompter van Obama was met zwart karton afgedekt (in verband met het felle licht?)<\/p>\n

Eerst een praatje van de populaire senator Bob Casey; achter hem gouverneur Ed Rendell (destijds Clinton-supporter)<\/p>\n

De Obama-campagne deelde naast ‘handgemaakte’ borden vandaag ook de letters ‘PA for change’ uit<\/p>\n

Om 17:30 (wij stonden vanaf 11:30 voor het stadion) was hij daar dan, Barack Obama<\/p>\n

Obama keek meer naar de teleprompter dan Biden — het was dan ook een nieuwe speech<\/p>\n

Typerende poses voor Obama<\/p>\n

Nou ja, deze blik kenden we nog niet<\/p>\n

Deze dan weer wel: hoofd licht naar beneden en ogen naar het scherm<\/p>\n

Dit gebaar maakt Obama regelmatig om applaus af te houden<\/p>\n

Zo! Nu eerst een flesje water<\/p>\n

Obama had geen tijd om boeken te signeren, maar gaf wel een handje aan enkele mensen die vooraan stonden — waaronder Victor \u00e9n mij!<\/p>\n

Later meer over deze bijzondere rally! Nu eerst kort naar bed (we zijn net aangekomen in een motel in Hershey, en moeten er over vijf uur alweer uit) en daarna naar twee rallies. Eerst naar John McCain & Sarah Palin op drie mijl van hier, en daarna naar een rally met alleen Sarah Palin zo’n 70 mijl verderop. We zijn benieuwd!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
