We in the Steel City are used to standing in line on cold mornings. Whether it's the Steelers, the Pirates, or Barack Obama, the people of Pittsburgh are willing to tough it out if it means a good seat. The first person in line said she'd been there since 5:30 in the morning.

Yesterday was the first day of Senator Obama's Road to Change Tour through Pennsylvania and he kicked it off at Soldiers and Sailors Military Museum and Memorial in the heart of Pittsburgh's Oakland neighborhood, home to the University of Pittsburgh. Outside, the line was as diverse as the city of Pittsburgh. There were die-hard supporters and undecideds, parents with children, and people of every background.

Here are a couple of folks who spoke with us before the doors opened.

The bus tour is making its way across the great state of Pennsylvania right now. Find a stop near you today, or call your local field office.
