A couple of very short ones I took today at his Indianapolis rally while standing around with the press (you have to follow links because I can never get these things to embed, dammit):

Hopefully the wind wasn't interfering too much. We had spitting rain for a while until he showed up. (I'll post some still photos later for those who may be interested in what it's like to stand around on muddy press risers for hours, LOL. Exciting, exciting ...)

EDIT: ABC News posted video of the first one, too - theirs is much better.

Those were fantastic. Thank you!

Looks like you had a great time! I can't wait to hear more about it.

You didn't tell me...

Damn, I'm jealous.

He's got that Sunday morning preacher thing down though, huh? At least he's uplifting and doesn't talk down to people like they're 2 year olds.

Would it be OK to link this in my journal, or no? I see post is friends' locked.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I unlocked it.

Great stuff. You got a really good view there!

Excellent! And lucky you. (I found out after the fact that he was practically in my backyard this past weekend. He surprised the Democratic rally in Asheville. I'm bummed about missing a chance to shake his hand.)

Damn, the man's good!

That second clip brought tears to my eyes. It's about time a leader said people wouldn't just have a better future handed to them on a platter. Ordinary people (in which I include you and me) aren't stupid. They know TANSTAAFL. But tell them they can have it if they work for it--show them how--and they will.

Did you get the close shot you were hoping for for your paper?

And thank you. :)

Also, posting a link in my LJ.
