(More pictures of the event at the Flickr set ) The excitement of seeing Obama in front of 20,000 screaming people is thrilling, I will give you that - but a few guys I met yesterday left a greater impression on me than any mega-rally ever could.

Big hat tip to the Detroit Free Press for highlighting the work of photographer Anne Savage of Revolutionary Views . First, it was a 360-degree panorama of the Obama rally at Joe Louis Arena (and her website provides two other shots from that as well), and now they have two versions of last night's Target Fireworks over Detroit , taken right by the Ren Cen. Well worth a look. Zoom up, down, fast, slow...

The scene last night looked like Prince was in town at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Ok, maybe Senator Barack Obama was not signing Purple Rain or When Doves Cry but the crowd was on fire last night. If I was a Republican in Michigan I would begin to figure out why our message is not resonating with the urban populace. Even Al Gore weighed in on the action as he endorsed Obama. We can sit and make excuses...
