Timing being "everything", as they say, Senator Barak Obama's last campaign stop coincided with the first campaign stop that I actually covered of his, so when it was over I'm guessing we were both equally exhausted and probably glad all we had to do the next day was vote, and maybe update our blogs...if we had the energy.
It's amazing how much these things take out of you! I left the house at 3:00 p.m. to make sure I got there for the press check-in at 4 p.m...for what was supposed to be a 9 p.m. concert. The Senator (at time of publishing) was running late, so 9 p.m. turned into 10:39 p.m., and I finally got back to the ranch at 2:15 a.m., after driving 11 miles in a little over two hours (that was actually the best part, I was thrilled to finally get to know my car's seat that much better).
As you can see, the band had the crowd rockin', and I think that all 85,000 people there (not including the 2,300 members of the "media") will remember the event fondly.
Don't forget to vote!
