checking in from Obama Hoover High rally...
...via BlackBerry. He is due on stage at 10p. Amazing turnout. The crowd is electric. Not sure if it will be on CSPAN, look for it.

1. Ever think how ironic it is for Obama to be in a school named
after Herbert Hoover?

3. They showed his Coralville rally earlier; he was great
more chatty and witty than usual, with lots of substance on policy as well. You should be in for a treat.

6. I'm assuming that's Hoover High in Des Moines.
Makes sense he'd end up somewhere in that area.

I wish I could have been there, but I'm hope with the kiddos---the "two sparkles" I should say!

;)

Thanks for the update! Keep us posted.

12. I think you made a Freudian slip-

Well, Obama does give me a great deal of "hope" these days, so
it makes sense!
