21,000 people packed Key Arena in Seattle, Washington today to stand for change with Barack...
I think it's safe to say that Washington is fired up...
Barack also recieved a big endorsement from Washington Governor Chris Gregoire...
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON–The Key Arena doors opened just before 11 a.m. and Cynthia Keze was one of the thousands hoping to see Barack Obama.
When she did not get in, she was determined to wait out in the wet weather just in case she got a glimpse of the man she says has brought her new hope for the future of the United States.
"The rest of us, we were in this huge crowd outside in the rain and he came out in the rain and talked to us," said Keze, her voice still hoarse and raw from shouting hours earlier. "I was 10 feet away from him, 10 feet away," she repeated in awe.
"The only time I felt like that was when I saw Pope John Paul II."
Keze, a Democrat and Catholic, said while she cannot claim meeting Obama was better than meeting the Pope, the appearance, in her words, was just as great.
Basking in his largest crowds yet, Obama drew in an estimated 21,000 people to Key Arena in Seattle Friday while another 3,000 or more gathered in overflow rooms and outside in the rain straining to hear his voice.
