Barack Obama was in the District to accept endorsements from Senator Ted Kennedy, Representative Patrick Kennedy and President Kennedy's daughter, Caroline.
Hasan, Maggie and Jay ventured on the Metro from LCV's downtown offices to Tenlytown to check out the crowd. It was - in a word - overwhelming.
The event took place in American's Bender Arena, which has a max capacity of about 6,000 people. Unfortunately for Obama supporters, about 20,000 people were in line by the time the doors opened at 11 a.m.
