Isn't that exciting? I am surprised he would come here! We are not a big town......maybe since it is Falwell country? Trying to get the votes away from McCain? Whatever the reason, it is very exciting!

He will be at one of my schools! Bad thing is......Freshman orientation is the same night at the same time! LOL They are out of tickets....but since I work in adminsitration, I don't have to have one......I am going....if I can get in! LOL And I'll report back....apparently EVERYONE in town is trying to be there! It is just really exciting because NEVER has a Presidential candidate come here! Presidents have come here to Liberty University (Regan and both Bushes) for commencement speeches but I don't think the WHOLE town got into any uproar over that! LOL (Except when Regan came........and that was a pretty big deal...but this seems a tad bit bigger!) I'll let you know! ~A&A's Mom

Yes it is! Exciting! My daughter and I stood in line to see him at the Excel Center in St. Paul, and after two hours, sadly gave up, we didn't get in. There were 13,000 too many people! (that's a good thing!) - but it was worth it, just to be part of the excitement!

I had to go to the school yesterday for a meeting and there were already secret service personnel there on the grounds......I still can't believe he chose to come here....of all places.....Have a great day! ~A&A's Mom
