Michelle Obama in Pittsburgh

Today, in an auditorium on Pitt's campus, I was present for my first political rally during this 2008 Presidential Election season. And in that auditorium, the atmosphere was upbeat, positive - electric, even. Not once did someone boo (not once) or shout "kill him" or "terrorist" in reference to Senator McCain. There was no hostility present in the room whatsoever. And, I think that says tremendous things about the overall demeanor of Obama's campaign. Michelle Obama gave a speech that clearly articulated her husband's plan, his background and his vision. She didn't slam McCain. She didn't rile up the crowd with negative energy. She didn't have to. Her words dripped with depth and positivity and sincerity. And I so very much appreciated being a part of the invigorating yet calm environment she created at today's rally.
