The chance to see Barack Obama on the night before the Presidential election?  Yes please.

The plan: Obama will be in Manassas tonight, so I'm blowing out of work early to wait in hours of traffic and lines for the faint chance that I can see him from 1/4 of a mile away (because the crowd will be enormous).  Then tomorrow, the girlfriend and I have  ( Read more... )
