Minneapolis/St. Paul

Barack Obama was in my fair city last night for a rally. I know he was there because it took me 15 minutes to get out of the city last night where it usually takes me three minutes. There were throngs of people camped out in front of the Xcel Energy Center. Buses were carting high school graduates to the auditorium, housed in the same stadium, from across the river.

I live and work in St. Paul.

All the news channels except for Fox have repeatedly referred to his rally in Minneapolis.

The Republican National Convention being held in the same Xcel Energy Center should be interesting.
