Susan, Richard and I braved the cold with thousands of others last night for a chance to get in to the election-eve Barack Obama rally at the Seaport Convention Center in Boston.
It was a who's- who of Massachusetts politics, including Governor Deval Patrick, Senators Ted Kennedy and John Kerry, and Caroline Kennedy.

We had a great time chanting and cheering and generally whooping it up with Obama faithful. 
Lots of young people. Overall the crowd was a cross section of Boston--Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and of course, plenty of Irish! In a cool coincidence, an old Academy friend, of Sean's (James Miller), recognized Richard and me in the crowd and stood with us during the rally.

Here's a little clip of the early moments of his speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv7Lgrehptw
As the hour grew late, he wrapped it up with a message of hope. It was an awesome time.

That looks like it was a great time. Funny to see James. I didn't realize he was at the Electronics Support Unit (ESU) up there.
Barrack is such a great speaker. I'll be rooting for him in the Democratic Party.
Am regretting my staying home!
Thanks for helping to give Sus' an evening she won't forget.
