Every seat taken, most of the infield filled. I sat next to a black couple that must have been 90+ years old so lived through real segregation. We talked a little but I have no clue what they must have been feeling... seeing a black candidate for President of the US live in person.

One cool thing... there were some short warm up speeches from state and local pols but the person who introduced Obama was a single mother of two who was struggling... and had volunteered locally for the campaign. Talked about 10-15 minutes. Her kids led the pledge of allegiance. She had a tough time with the speech... nobody cared.
