Obama expected small turnout in Republican Utah - got rally of 500.

From Salt Lake Tribune:

PARK CITY - A drive-by greeting organized by a few Barack Obama supporters turned into a major open-air rally that drew hundreds of cheering admirers Sunday. By the time the Democratic presidential hopeful spoke just after noon, more than 500 onlookers had filled the parking lot next to the Utah Olympic Park visitor center. Cars were parked half a mile up the road leading to the 2002 Olympic ski jump.

"This was supposed to be a 15-minute stop with about 20 people," said the Illinois senator, dressed in slacks and shirt sleeves. "Somehow this grew a little bit." Said Doug Gray, of Taylorsville: "If he can get this kind of turnout in
Utah, imagine what he can do in the rest of the country."

I visited Utah and I'm not surprised at the reaction towards Senator Obama. People in Utah are suffering because of the Bush Administration just as everyone else. Look for the word to go out by the grapevine all over Utah that it's time for change and black people are ok. Americans are in trouble it we need honest Americans of all colors and genders to solve the major problems Bush/Cheney have created.
I know Chris Matthews is upset because he hates black people and strong woman. His hate can be seen with his actions.
