We attended the Barack Obama rally in Miami today after early voting; it was a great feeling in regard to the notion of voting for whom you like.

The crowd was quite intimidating; this was what--two hours before the speech began--was waiting to go through the metal detectors.

While waiting, you could see the fringe group in action.

Finally, Michelle came out to the thunderous applause of the crowd. It was a crowd that was more of a crown; it was a mixture (that I always tried to maintain in my clubs) of a gracious mingling of different, but like-minded people. It was magical.

Barack captivated the crowd with no doubt.

The fringe group was still in action when we left. They always will be.
