It’s Bristow. It’s in the DC suburbs and the home of the Jiffy Lube Live arena. It’s about three miles from our house.
We didn’t hear the crowds and we didn’t see the crowds but there were people there because of the minor traffic back-ups, Obama did show up (we heard the Marine One contingent) but we usually hear loud large concerts and this was not loud or large.
I would say he did draw upwards of ten-fifteen thousand which sucks for a free concert but it was cold and it was late, around 10:30 when we heard the helos wooping overhead. From the looks of them at the gas station, the car tags were from DC and MD as much as VA, mostly college kids looking for something to do on Saturday.
It’s what he did last time around to draw crowds only it’s out of desperation.
“car tags were from DC and MD as much as VA, mostly college kids looking for something to do on Saturday.”
His Virginia campaign workers. This was to get them fired up for the GOTV effort.
I wonder why Obama has events just for campaign workers while Romney has them for workers and voters.
Barry seemed well rested from all the sleep he got during the Sandy campaign break. Laying around doing nothing for a couple days did him good. Nice finish to his speech.
Clinton’s wore out from carrying him though. At one point it sounded like he called him “Morooco Bomber” LOL!
