Blue Jersey: Jersey City has Obama fever!

Jersey City is Fired Up

Video: http://www.bluejersey.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6586">Barack Obama Rally in Jersey City

Obama Rally: Capacity Crowd in Jersey City. 5000 Show up. Doors Closed. 2,000 Outside.

Update: Senator Obama explains the delay. About 2,000 people were not allowed in and he had to thank them first.

Update 2: Hudson County Now says there are 5,000 people and speakers were set up outside for those who couldn't get in.

Jersey City has Obama fever! Police say close to 5,000 people showed up today at St. Peter's College to hear presidential hopeful Barack Obama speak- but there's not enough space for everyone inside the gymnasium. Lines are still around the block of people waiting to get in, and Obama is waiting to allow as many people as possible inside the gym before he takes the stage. Speakers are being set up outside St. Peter's gymnasium so the over 600 people in line can hear Obama's speech.

Newark mayor Cory Booker is firing up the crowd: "There are doubters, there are naysayers. Who say this is her backyard. That this is Hillary's house. New Jersey is Obama County!"

The crowd is chanting "Yes we can!"
