Obama's the big man on campus-
PennLive.com: "STATE COLLEGE - As Barack Obama emerged in front of an estimated crowd of 22,000 in front of Old Main on the Penn State University campus, Ashley Sims shouted the kind of welcome usually reserved for pop stars.
'Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I love you, Barack! Look at me! Hi!'
This from a 24-year-old graduate student who customized her cell phone's ring tone as the Obama Girl tune, 'I've Got a Crush on Obama.'"When speaking about Obama, she has a dreamy look in her eyes, clasps her hands to her chest, and pauses in the middle of sentences as if she just can't find the words.
"I didn't know that he was possible," she said.

Yep, this was comfortable territory for Obama.
The candidate usually plays well to young voters, and students at Penn State were fired up. A line to enter the rally spanned almost a mile, snaking around campus sidewalks.
At 11:45 a.m., Hershey High School alumni Cayla Rasi and Andrew Mackay arrived at the back of the line. Two hours later, they got in just in time to see the beginning of Obama's speech, but there were people behind them who never made it in.
"It's really amazing everyone got up after a Saturday night at Penn State," Rasi said.
Sean Perugini, a junior from Harleysville, Montgomery County, partied late Saturday, but Obama was worth waking up early for, he said. That's quite an honor in his book. continued
