Where's Medford? That was the question rumored to have roiled the Obama campaign recently--at least as reported in the parking lot of the converted bowling alley where I waited with thousands of others for Obama's arrival on March 22. Medford is on Interstate 5 about 30 miles north of the California border. It is and always has been my home. It is not "blue" and it is definitely not "significant."
How thrilled we were to learn that Obama would be coming to our town. Tickets were gone in about an hour--an hour when I did not have access to my e-mail. That left me, a charter member of "Dog Lovers for Obama", in the non-ticketed line to get into the overflow.
For highlights of Obama's talk and pics as well as some special endorsements, look below the fold.
UPDATE: Thanks to shplk who explained how to size pictures. i was able to make all but one of the pictures normal in the preview, but it would not publish so we are back to the big pictures. Several comments down there is a link to the Medford mail tribune story with a complete video. i recommend this to those interested.
