One of my co-workers, from the Hyde Park neighborhood, showed up first thing at her polling place and saw Obama go in to vote.
He got a big cheer from the waiting line when he came out. She said that after he voted, the line moved much faster. That Secret Service is so controlling and cautious.
I walked by the entrance to tonight's Obamafest, late this afternoon. The crowd wasn't huge yet. There were a couple of lines of a few hundred happy people, I guess. Right about 3:25 they started blaring the theme from Star Wars on a sound system. Then they started letting people in.
The excitement was palpable.
The tickets were scalpable!
Except... your name is on the ticket and you have to show i.d. Each ticket lists 1 person but admits 2. So, basically, you could scalp the "guest" entrance.
I bet some guys were using their tickets as bait
to line up an otherwise unobtainable date.
