At a recent convention in Chicago:
……Obama received a standing ovation from many in the audience at the start and end of his appearance. There was also a rush toward the stage after his speech, as Obama shook hands and signed autographs.
One journalist was also overheard wishing him luck, while another squealed, “He touched me!” as she left the ballroom.

When he loses the election to John McCain they’ll jump out of windows, enmasse.
I can hardly wait.
