We are sitting in the car outside the Obama event at the School for the Deaf in Council Bluffs, waiting for the charger to do its magic (using our in-car media center powered by mobile AC unit). It's 11 degree's here, good stuff. I've got a bunch of video from earlier in the day, which we'll get up later tonight. After landing in Omaha, we drove up to Sioux City, first a Clinton event, and then to catch the tail end of an Obama event. There were about 200-250 at the Clinton event, but about double that number at the Obama event. After Clinton spoke, I asked Charlie Cook for a prediction, which he wisely begged off of making. Trei overheard David Axelrod yelling in his phone about the local television coverage having Clinton, but not Obama, on the newscast. I headed down and got some great video coverage of Obama's close, but forgot to unplug the wireless mic (which was turned off), so had no sound for a bit. We are roadtripping with Edwards as he campaigns all night and into the morning. There's something about pancakes at 5:15 AM on the schedule in Centerville. That's after Atlantic at midnight, Creston at 2:15 AM, and before Ottumwa at 7 am....and then we are going to be in Davenport for a 9 am Obama rally. Be sure to stay up with us!
Update [2008-1-1 22:13:36 by Jerome Armstrong]: The event was packed again, but not overflow as it was in Sioux City, for Obama in Council Bluffs, but so was Clinton's an hour earlier just down the road, each with about 500 inside. We are heading over to the Edwards office in Council Bluffs now. Here are some photos from Sioux City earlier today:|
