On Wednesday night, Barack offered a commanding debate performance at Dartmouth College, showing that he's the candidate with the judgment and experience America needs right now.

But Barack wasn't the only one who rose to the occasion. Beginning Tuesday afternoon and continuing through the wee hours of Thursday morning, hundreds of Obama supporters came together to show their support for Barack. Have a look at the slideshow below:

Barack in Concord | Report to Admin

By Donna NH - Thank you my fellow Granite Staters! Yes we did! Sep 29th 2007 at 9:49 am EDT

I really wanted to go to Concord today to see Barack, but it didn't work out.

For those who attended today, can you please report on your experience there? Thank you so much!

I'm there in spirit.

I'm hoping Barack will make it up in the northern part of the state once again.

NH's Older voters ! | Report to Admin

Great work ! , You are an inspiration !! But I think the campaign needs your advice. How should Barack engage older voters in NH? I know they are starting a faith tour. Would that be a good idea as well in NH ? I know that NH is ready for change and is embracing Barack. But, I am concerned about the elderly vote there. Thank you so much for all YOUR work ! God Bless you !

How about a "Fired Up for Seniors" Tour or "Taking Care of Our Seniors" Tour. Maybe an ad directly for seniors. How about dropping off flyers at or a having a member of the campaign or supporter visit Senior Resource Centers, Senior Housing or Assisted Living Centers state-wide. The seniors have seen a lot in their lifetime. Maybe address the cynicism that we can't change our political system. I think so many people feel their vote doesn't count. They need to realize the power of their one vote, added with the many of the other votes cast nationwide. Just some thoughts. Thanks for asking.

to take back a nation | Report to Admin

By Todd.B. (office of citizen) Sep 30th 2007 at 7:21 pm EDT

Earlier this week, my attention was captured by stories recalling the inception of the space race, and how we were totally caught flat-footed by the Soviet Union when they launched their first satellite, sputnick. The erie beeping sound captured by U.S. recievers was broadcast like a wake up call warning to Americans. "The greatest generation" met the challenge head on, and the rest is history.

Sometimes it takes such historic generational events that threaten our security and way of life to mobilize a nation. We are witnessing one presently.

The catostrophic failures of the present administration have caused such a threat across the spectrum of domestic and foreign fronts, and as a result we are witnessing the American electorate engaging in the process unlike any time in recent history. Add to that a thoughtful and reasoned message from Obama that is underlaid by integrity, hope, and character, and we are seeing a movement towards reclaming our most sacred inalienable rights of democracy and freedom.

Now, take responsibility and act. Speak with your co-workers, family, and friends. Disregard what the main stream meadia says about the polls, because national polls are meaningless. And help the campaign, financially or otherwise, particularly in NH!

Help take back America!
