LOL. Number 6 on Google for “Obama Cleveland rally”
I’m at the Obama event in Cleveland, and wifi is available, unlike at the Virginia Beach rally. There is a huge crowd here. I tried to take photos of the queues to give some sense of the length… but at ground level you just cannot capture it. One went on for at least 10 blocks, another one went on for another 10. Miles of people waiting to get in.
I see some other journalists from Ireland, one from the Irish Times, and another from Newstalk.
I took these photos a few minutes ago.
Update:
The crowd waits for Obama:
The press wait:
The interval music from the press area:
Obama in his stride despite the rain:
Your pictures and commentary are great Gavin. It is refreshing to have an unbiased view of what is happening during this historic time. Well done.
