It's two days before the election. Barack and Michelle Obama are in town for a rally on the grounds of the Ohio capitol building. I wanted to go, but I had to visit the Board of Elections to pick up election supplies and obtain some additional last-minute training. Thanks to younger daughter, Kaydee, who attended the rally with Phyllis, we have pictures.

The crowd was enormous. Hours before the event, lines of people stretched every direction from the statehouse. Streets were closed to traffic. From the photos alone, you can sense the electricity. The hope. The desire to change the nation's direction and get it going the right way again.
