VIDEO:  A Powerful Endorsement
 
 
On Monday, Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA), the younger brother of JFK, endorsed Barack Obama for President. Thousands showed up to American University in Washington, DC for a chance to hear Obama and be a part of the movement for change. Like hundred of others, I couldn't get inside. But the story I got on the outside is just as rich. Check it out.

Sure wish that I could have been at AU for the endorsment by Kennedy for Obama. Great energy was captured on the video. Thanks!

Erica, You are correct, outside the arena is just as exciting as being inside with Kennedy.

fantastic! great energy, reflected by the shortish shots in your edit, way to have your characters speak the themes, good spontaneous "on the spot" coverage by the anchor, and the roughness of it really helped the whole "live" feel. nice job erica.
