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.
The view of the 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.
Some of the people a rally will draw.
I took this guys picture for Angela.
It was interesting standing there watching some American politics on our
Election Day.
