Too Much Sun for Obama?

(CBS)
From CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic:
SUNRISE, FLA. – Perhaps all the sunshine here in the Sunshine State is getting to Barack Obama. On his third day of campaigning in the state, Obama notably flubbed the name of the city where his campaign rally was taking place. "I am so glad to be in Florida, and I am so glad to be in Sunshine," Obama said at the top of his remarks. Unfortunately, the name of the city is "Sunrise."
At four different points during the speech, Obama referred to the town as "Sunshine," as opposed to "Sunrise." Amazingly, the crowd of 16,000 played along and no one corrected him. Sunrise is a city in Broward County, possibly best known for its role in 2000 presidential election.
Obama said he regrets not having campaigned in Florida, and said he will make up for "some lost time." He also assured the voters that Florida delegates will be seated at the Democratic Convention in August. "They will be participating, your voices will be heard and most importantly we will work together to make sure that Florida goes Democrat in November and so does the rest of the country," Obama said.

HILLART HILLARY HILLARY
YES WE WILL.
COUNT ALL THE VOTES AS CAST...
I''ve been reading about this all day and have to comment! I was at the rally yesterday, standing front and center on the floor right in front of the podium. I assure you, ON ONE present was offended by Obama''s one faux pas! Although we waited for hours to see him, NO ONE complained, and his speech was well worth the wait.
The place was packed (nearly 20,000 people), and the crowded was thrilled to finally hear Obama speak in FL. When he said "Sunshine" very few people noticed, and of those who did, they assumed he was referring to FL as the "Sunshine State." I took a few photos of the event. Feel free to click below to view. Does anyone look offended? No! Thrilled would be the appropriate description!

Unmentioned in national reporting was the fact that Obama was preceded by a rare, 45-minute free concert by actual rock stars The Decemberists. The Portland-based band has drawn rave reviews from Rolling Stone magazine, which gave their 2005 album Picaresque four and a half stars (out of five), and another four and a half stars for 2007''s The Crane Wife.
