Campaign's official tally

Was 7,000. And that's too high. I'd put it at 4,500. 1500 inside the gym, another 3,000 scattered across Tri-C campus.

Room Capacity....

Fire Marshall says it's 1510...Obama campaign is getting a little loose with the numbers. I've heard double that so far from the campaign...given, they've got about 7 spill over rooms throughout the campus.

What's the room capacity?

just curious

This morning in Cincinnati

the house was packed at 8:00 on a Monday morning, they turned people away and Obama pulled down nearly $500,000. Not bad for a Monday morning in Cincinnati, heart of "unfriendly" territory.

UPDATE: Oh what a couple of minutes make on that shot of the gym...

It's 4:30pm. The rally isn't scheduled to start for another hour and a half, but the line is already out the door.

Here's your pre-rally teaser. It's official folks, the '08 Presidential Race has landed in Ohio. With less than 2 hours till the Senator takes the stage, I have a feeling it's going to land hard.

Also, staffers are telling me they had 3,500 signups online...but about 50% of the folks showing up have a ticket, 50% don't. This place is gonna be packed

Cruising the crowd I caught a couple of BSB readers volunteering with the Obama folks. Take a listen to what one's saying.

A couple more shots pre-rally after the break.
