Yesterday in Aberdeen, South Dakota, Barack held a Town Hall meeting with local residents to discuss his plans to bring an end to the War in Iraq as carefully as we went in carelessly, provide quality, affordable and portable health care coverage, and open up an honest dialogue in Washington that will rely on the input of millions of Americans—pushing back against the special interests that have written our public policies for far too long.

Barack spoke about the fierce urgency of now—which we are seeing all across South Dakota.  There are just 2 full days before we vote—and this is the time to stand up to get involved in your neighborhood.  We need you to sign up to Get Out the Vote, because this is the most important thing you can do for Barack—and it’s vital to our success in this important election.

More on the event yesterday… 

More than 2,000 yell their approval

As the crowd poured out of the arena afterward, “inspirational” was the word many used to describe Obama’s speech.

“It was a very strong speech,” said Dara Eagle Staff Geffre of Aberdeen.

“He was really inspiring,” said her husband, Darren Geffre.

Dara, 29, said Tuesday will mark the first time she has voted because this primary is the first time she wanted to vote - for Obama.

“He has enthusiasm,” said Daryl Swanhorst of Cresbard.

Obama also seems open to new ideas, Swanhorst said. Maybe the best part of all is that Obama walked into the arena at about 5 p.m. - 30 or so minutes ahead of schedule, he said. That alone might be reason to vote for him, Swanhorst said jokingly.
