Peenie Wallie

Cartoonist Peter Chew asked me to send him a picture of a police officer on post next to his shirts outside of the Pepsi Center.

With nothing interesting going on around the Pepsi Center, I decided to walk around downtown.

A large crowd had gathered outside the Westin Tabor Center Hotel. "Who are we waiting for?"

"I don't know," was the reply -- from everybody I asked. Like me, they had seen the crowed, V.I.P. level security, and figured it was somebody important.

After going down the line, a video cameraman -- who looked like he should know -- told me that Senator Obama would be leaving shortly to go to the Pepsi Center.
