I think Barack actually choked up there a little.

So classy of them to end the campaign here.

I really hope Obama becomes a rock star campaigning for other Democrats in the future, just like Bill Clinton. He has a gift and I hope this isn't the last time he gets to use it.

i have seen him so emotional based on the tragedy of the storm, when he hugged that woman in NJ I Saw a new emotional Obama peek thru and I think he's BONE TIRED from campaigning .. he's probably putting in 18-20 hour days phone calling and campaigning and flying on airplanes... that kind of nonstop effort is bound to have an impact on his normally STOIC exterior.

I really am glad he gets a little rest starting tomorrow night...

a short rest and then back to work.. and January 21st.. I will be in DC to help him get inaugurated ONE MORE TIME! wow...

this will be good.

He's wiped his left eye several times.

He's tired...

Let's deliver a victory for the president tomorrow.
