View of Obama crowd in Iowa City [View all]

This is a lot of people standing in the rain!

A friend works in that red brick building in the background - they locked the building at 10:00, and everyone working inside had to be out at 3:30 (the Secret Service came around). There were police & SS guys all over, and he said they played "Roll with the Changes" by REO Speedwagon for the (very loud) sound check earlier this afternoon.
