...Since Moore attracted huge crowds at most places, the picture inevitably has the feeling of both a rock-concert movie (with reaction shots of adoring fans, including one woman holding a "Hug me, Michael" sign) and Triumph of the Will (the central figure lands in a city, meets the locals, attends a rally with guest speakers, then wows the crowd himself). Among the guests are Celeste Zappala, the outspoken mother of a soldier killed in Iraq, and a cadre of antiwar diplomats. At some venues, famous musicians are on hand: Eddie Vedder, Joan Baez, Steve Earle and Tom Morello...

After giving a shout out to the campaign's growing cast of real Americans like "Doug the Barber" and "Chris the Electrician," Palin blasted Barack Obama for "talking about redistributing the wealth...
...Afraid of a repeat of his surprise loss in the New Hampshire primary, one of the first things Obama does is to ask for a show of hands of people who have already voted. He then asks these supporters to take note of those in the crowd who still need to vote and to get them to the polls. "We can't afford to slow down, sit back or let up for one day, one minute, or one second in these last few days," Obama says, as he did to a crowd of 25,000 in Des Moines, Iowa, Friday...
