Hopefully we'll have some video for you later today.

Regardless, the Today Show was filming in Colonial Williamsburg this morning from 7am to 9am. They set up an area where Al Roker and Matt Lauer could shake hands of Virginians and check out the Colonials. Culturally, it was a great show of the Colonial Williamsburg flavor.
Bad news: Republicans showed up en masse. I am guessing the College Republicans organized early because when I showed up at 5am, they were all up front and center with McCain signs everywhere. Plenty of Obama supporters showed up a little bit later and we had some good coverage but ironically, it didn't appear from my vantage point that there were that many College Democrats out organized. However, the College SciFi Club was out there dressed up like zombies. Sad day.

I didn't bring a camera but I did have signs out for Obama, Warner, and Bill Day. We ended up with decent coverage and thanks to some hard-working campaigners, we were loud. We got the Republicans to chant "No you can't!" How patriotic of them.
