Lots of my twitter peeps were at the Target Center on Saturday to see President Obama speak on health care reform. I couldn’t go, but I did enjoy reading the tweet stream. Sounds like the Target Center was just shy of it’s 19,000-ish capacity. Not bad, Minnesota.
Brandi was there, too: Dispatches from The Very Presidential Joint Healthcare Rally and Ricky Rubio Protest at the Target Center
There are photos and hilarity and hilarious photos.
Also.

Hardly just shy of capacity. Over half of the upper deck was empty. It was a great crowd though.
I took this pic from the VIP floor :)
“Over half of the upper deck was empty.”
Ah, well, so much for that. Someone on twitter embellished something. Imagine that!
yeah, no kidding :)
I believe that fibber would be Keith Ellison, MN-5. But he’s a great guy so I won’t yell, “You Lie!” at him.
Also, I appreciated the “Also.” Which I straight up stole from Wonkette, also.
