At last, it's Virginia's time to shine!  Lemme tell ya, folks, it feels good to live in a swing state! 'Cause, when you do, Senator Obama comes to speak to you! Though I wasn't able to get any pics of the senator himself, I do have some shots of the ridiculously huge crowd.  Behold and be jealous:

And I got sunburned, but I don't care!  Because I got to hear Barack Obama speak!  (I could not see him, but I'd recognize that voice anywhere.)  And he spoke about health care!  Including the utter evilness that is called "preexisting conditions"!  And he kept repeating, "That ain't right," which was awesome!  And I've been reduced to ending every single sentence in an exclamation point!  Because that's how exciting it was!

Can we do it, America?  "Yes, we can!"
