If you missed it when he came to town or if you just want to re-live it, take a look back at the Hook’s coverage of then-Senator Barack Obama’s visit to the Charlottesville Pavilion on October 30, 2007. Before a crowd of over 5,000 paying audience members (then a record for the Obama campaign), Obama spoke of the vision for the nation he now hopes to make a reality as the 44th President of the United States, and the Hook captured all the sights and sounds of the evening. You can also stream and download Obama’s full speech from that evening from Charlottesville Podcasting Network.
