Re: Obama in Austin
More from Emily Ramshaw on Obamapalooza (her very clever term, not mine):
Rain is turning the Auditorium Shores into a muddy mess. But the crowd doesn't seem to mind, waiting for the candidate as various rock bands play. The crowd is an interesting mix of suited professionals playing hooky from work and body-pierced types, plus a healthy sprinkling of diehard Kinky Friedman supporters still wearing their campaign T-shirts. She notes that a lot of attendees she talks to are trying to decide between Sen. Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, and women in particular are looking at whether they should back Obama even while there's a woman in the race who could very well win.
