Reply #31: Have you ever been in one of those crowds?

I recently went to the Springsteen rally in Philly for Obama. These are tests of physical endurance. You're hot. You can't go to the bathroom. Your feet and back ache eventually and you can get claustrophobic if you allow yourself to think about wanting to leave the crowd and how hard it would be. You are pressed up against strangers for hours. You have park far away. Blah blah blah. It's not pleasant or easy but you do it when it's worth it. It takes passion to have that commitment. Look at all of that passion! It's beautiful. I wish there was a shot from the crowd POV with the Arch in the background. I am grateful for these shots. I looked everywhere for them on MSNBC's website. Considering it's such a huge crowd there should be at least one there right? Nope. Thanks.
