As Barack Obama emerged in front of an estimated crowd of 22,000 in front of Old Main on the Penn State University campus, Ashley Sims shouted the kind of welcome usually reserved for pop stars.
"Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I love you, Barack! Look at me! Hi!"
This from a 24-year-old graduate student who customized her cell phone's ring tone as the Obama Girl tune, "I've Got a Crush on Obama."
When speaking about Obama, she has a dreamy look in her eyes, clasps her hands to her chest, and pauses in the middle of sentences as if she just can't find the words.
"I didn't know that he was possible," she said.
At 11:45 a.m., Hershey High School alumni Cayla Rasi and Andrew Mackay arrived at the back of the line. Two hours later, they got in just in time to see the beginning of Obama's speech, but there were people behind them who never made it in.
"It's really amazing everyone got up after a Saturday night at Penn State," Rasi said.
Sean Perugini, a junior from Harleysville, Montgomery County, partied late Saturday, but Obama was worth waking up early for, he said. That's quite an honor in his book.
At a time when he doesn't feel like his government is listening to him, Obama has affirmed his faith in democracy, Perugini said.

Is that on the Hershey Highway?
The best thing that will come out of Barry's nomination is that McCain will win Pennsylvania. All the high school kids in the world won't negate the socioculturalpolitical realities of the Keystone State.
Probably both at home and at school - it's only fair, you know.
“That a grad student should act in such an adolescent manner is disturbing.”
But predictable. It’s about what I’d expect from a product of our educational system. Not an ounce of critical thinking or skepticism.
It’s what keeps cranks like Al Gore in the public eye.
There will be no riots if Obama is denied. Blacks don’t riot over that kind of stuff
Black students supporting The Black Candidate. What shocking news!
This bubble is going to burst.
If he can whip up this kind of enthusiasm in November Obama is going to walk the election.
Oh my heavens. If there are too many people like “Ashley” among our youth, it’s clear our nation is in big, BIG trouble.
What can she know? According to her web site she was born just a couple of weeks ago.....on March 13th (no year).
Here’s one that’s never going to grow out of the Kool-aid phase.
exactly what i have been saying
Obama with the help of the media and they have been helping him, might as well be on the pay roll for obama with the way they have acted towards him
he has many people fooled
the media will not tell the public the truth about obama
he has a load of wacko’s supporting him along with the black community ready to call anyone racist if anyone disagrees with oabma’s racist views
Far as I am concerned anyone who votes for oabma is the racist or just plainly uneducated
been saying for some time
5 questions need to be asked on where the candidates stand on issues before anyone is allowed to vote
Of ocurse the dems would never want this as they have no idea what they vote for but just go to vote for a person because they are told off their union, teacher, friend or family
I see no reason why I should be punished because of someone who is plainly thick on the issues like this woman shouting like a 6 year old
Though I bet she agrees with oabma’s racist views as well.
24, I had done 8 years in the military, lived in many countries, and was about to get married with an education.
what on earth has she been doing?
It can happen. A lot of young people are infatuated...
If Hillary had something in store for Obama, she would have used it by now....IMO
what a complete idiot and surely she must feel embarrassed.
No wonder his poll numbers have gone up since his racist pastor broke in the news
It’s idiots like these people who are voting for this man and because of these idiots I along with my family will suffer under his presidency.
These idiots need to be asked questions before being allowed to vote
She is the typical american idol obama voter and it’s cringworthy to see such people around and allowed to vote

Thank God for Barack, I mean what would the world be without “HOPE” at a university. Those have to be the most hopeless group of people, so downtrodden and opressed. Heck, if only I can afford for my kids to be so oppressed.
I rest my case.
Not nearly as ugly as a member of “Broads for Mitt.”
