Barack Obama's campaign claimed 1,800 people at Des Moines' Hoover High School for a 10pm rally Wednesday night. Obama was horse, but energetic, as he spoke for about half an hour. He made his final pitch to convince the room to caucus for him. "This is our chance," he told them.
More than a few heads on press row were craning to get a glimpse of Scarlett Johansson. They didn't see her. She supposedly came out in the gym, dressed in a gray sweater. But a campaign staffer told me she may have stayed behind the backdrop.
Superman did show himself. The latest Superman, that is. Brandon Routh, who is a Norwalk, Iowa, native talked with the crowd after the event.
A lot of energy in that room.

THE CAUCUS WAS VERY STRANGE - A BLOCK OF OBAMA SUPPORTERS CAME 15 MINUTES PRIOR TO DOOR LOCK - ALL REGISTERED AS NEW VOTERS - NONE WERE CHECKED DUE TO THE CHAOS. I THOUGHT I WAS JUST BEING OVERLY CONCERNED UNTIL I TALKED TO OTHER CAUCUS ATTENDEES IN OTHER AREAS AND FOUND THIS HAPPENED IN MANY OTHER PLACES - MANY LONG TIME RESIDENTS HAD NO CLUE AS TO WHO THESE PEOPLE WERE BUT THE NIGHT BEFORE THERE WERE MANY OUT OF STATE RUDE HARD CORE (TELEMARKETER TYPE) SUPPORTERS IN A TOWN OF LESS THAN 400 TOTAL RESIDENTS- THIS HAS GIVEN ME CAUSE TO CHECK ON THINGS
