It's a lovely evening in downtown Cincinnati. In spite of the cool breeze, the crowd at Fountain Square is FIRED UP. There are hundreds of people, waiting to watch Barack's speech at the NAACP convention just blocks away on the giant jumbotron towering above. The vibe is jubilant. People are smiling, laughing, and registering to vote.
We spoke to Obama Organizing Fellow Janice, who had this to say:
I've registered 45 or 50 people, and people keep coming up to me. I'm all out of Obama stickers... This is the best day yet.
Volunteer Kathy, standing nearby, finished up registering a voter and turned to describe the mood:
It's really electric. People are really excited about voting. About doing the right thing. About unity. It's just so wonderful.
Barack has yet to even take the stage, but people are primed and ready for change. The night has just begun.
