The Dairy State

I'm down in Madison Wisconsin this week for the National Atmospheric Deposition Program annual meeting and scientific symposium. The hotel/meeting area is next door to the state capital. In the afternoon there was a rally over at the capital, when I walked over it turned out to be a Barack Obama rally and the key speaker was John Kerry, one of of the early runners for the Democratic presidential ticket.

At this point I could hear the speakers but I wasn't sure who was speaking. Other than the Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin ther was no indication who was going to speak.

State Capital Building

I think my camera is on it's last legs, while I was taking pictures it started going screwy. It looks cool, but it isn't suppose to look like that.

It turned out it was a Obama/Biden rally to get people out to vote early. John Kerry spoke for about 15 minutes, in 2004 when he spoke here he had Bruce Springsteen with him.

There was a group of McCain supporters trying to drown out the speech.
