Obama Veep Rally in Springfield

We'll find out on Saturday whom Senator Obama has selected to join him on the ticket.  Since I'm a McCain supporter, I'm not going to be at the big Obama event in Springfield.  I did walk by the Old State Capitol on my way to lunch this afternoon, though, and watched some of the preparation for the rally.  I snapped a few pictures if anyone's interested:

This is  a CNN truck setting up for Saturday's coverage.

Here's the truck from the other side.

The seating is being constructed in the foreground, while a large flag is draped over a building in the background.

Here's a shot of the Old State Capitol.  I'm told that Abraham Lincoln's presidential campaign was run out of the corner office seen just beyond the van/truck.  The Lincoln-Herndon Law Office is right across from the Old State Capitol (out of the picture to the left).

Another shot of the seating and flag.
