My First Political Rally

Today I went to see Barack Obama! Fabulous Fiance and I set out for the American Legion Mall in downtown Indy at around 10 this morning. After waiting in the security line for about 45 minutes (I can now check off "frisked by a Secret Service Agent" from my life to-do list) we found our place in the audience, about 60 yards away from the podium where Obama would speak. I can't say that he revealed any new or incredible insights about the upcoming election but it was an inspiring experience to be a part of the audience. It is sort of exciting to be living in such a significant state this election ... there's a chance Indiana could go "Blue" for the first time in many years. (It's also sort of annoying, seeing as there are about 20 political commercials every hour on tv right now.)

Whatever your beliefs or party affiliation remember to vote!
