I was not part of this 20,000. No, I was part of the overflow crowd stuck in the adjacent practice facility.
We stood in line for an hour and a half -- it was in the single digits, with the wind whipping snow into our faces, before being told that homeland security wouldn't be letting us in to the main arena. Alas.
On the plus side, Obama poked his head into the overflow room before his speech, and was a little more personal:
"I love Madison. Back when I was a community organizer in Chicago, before I went to law school, I used to come up here for some R & R. I can't tell you what we did, but I love Madison."
