This past Monday I went to rally at University of Cincinnati to hear Barack Obama speak.  While standing in the insane line that wrapped around the arena…

a sweet little Bassett was nice enough to make us all smile.

Even though the Bassett was cute the main event was even better and well worth the wait in the freezing cold.

Over 13,000 attended the rally.  My sister and I went together and we left feeling something I have never felt since I have been a legal voter in this country…. HOPE.  Though many say hes all talk his voting record backs up what he says.  The energy in the building gave me goose bumps and I had little doubt I was watching the next president of the United States speak.
