President Barack Obama Grant Park Election Night 2008

This is my experience being at the celebration for Barack Obama. I know they aren't perfect pictures, but they are what i have and what I will always remember. Yes We Can. Special thanks to Genna for taking me as a guest.

well this shows that one of the estimates (125,000) was clearly wrong - I've been at glastonbury enough times, and seen what 300,000 people looks like and sounds like, to know that this was somewhere around the reported million people, in and around grant park, for a momentous occasion.

local tv stations in chicago were saying 240,000

Man I wish I could have been there, but I was busy phone banking over here in PA and helped Obama carry this state by 11% :)

is that including everyone inside and outside the main arena? i could be wrong and i obviously wasn't there, but it looked like significantly more than 240,000 from what the BBC was showing. If not a million, certainly half a million
