We rolled out this morning for stops in Columbus, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Cincinnati was a good event with a group of excited people, and after an obligatory side-stop for some of us at a Skyline Chili, we made our way to Columbus last night.

We met Glen, the world's best bus driver, at our hotel this morning, and then rode to the rally with Senator Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota and Ohio House Minority Leader Joyce Beatty. Turnout was surprisingly high given that we were kicking things off at 8:45am -- it was also surprisingly enthusiastic.

Photos from the Columbus event here, but my favorite is below. This couple met while volunteering for Governor Dean's campaign in 2004, and then they had a baby. It's not a common thing, but I know of at least one baby at the DNC that came about the same way (and after Governor Dean helped pull off a surprise proposal in his office).
