3. My position: Your top picture, all the way to the right, just under the
small media box. There were swat team/secret service guys standing on those boxes around the stadium with binoculars, telescopes, sniper rifles and goodness knows what else.

Anyway, we were about 15 rows down from that.

6. How long did it take to get home?
I know Mile High and the traffic.

11. We took light rail to and from. We began to exit at about 9:30 and
I walked in my door at 11:50.

We were smart and walked way north (sorta) to get on light rail at an earlier stop than Mile High. If we hadn't done that I expect we'd still be there waiting for a train that wasn't already full. :)

13. Thank you for the beautiful photos.
This is the beginning of a change in America. For those of us who have believed in equality and seen it denied to our brothers and sisters because of the color of their skin this is the most welcome day in history, and the most exciting political movement EVER! :dem: :dem: :dem:

21. Wow. Truly amazing. My heart swells when I look at those images.
What I like best about the photos of Obama and Biden is their body language and facial expressions: You can tell they respect each other and get along well.

27. Well, sometimes I think I try to do good
in my own mind

thanks.

I want the CD from all the great music
there and at his events. People here
that night were rocking out and thought it was
a great idea.

When I suggested it as a fund raiser
the post was destroyed in a flamefest by a later tombstoned bigot
with 500 or more posts.

26. Wonderful to see all of those lovely faces showing up to support America properly.
I am overwhelmed with hope that it really is different this time. It will be if we all decide to make it happen. Yes WE Can 08!
