I took these photos at a rally held in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, around a month before the 2010 midterm elections. President Obama gave a speech intended to rally his fellow Democrats for Pennsylvania-area races; on hand was senatorial candidate Joe Sestak, gubernatorial candidate Dan Onorato, and a number of other Pennsylvania politicians. Vice president Joe Biden also appeared, as did the Philadelphia-based hip-hop group the Roots. This post features T-shirts which reflect a celebratory mood regarding Obama's election as the first African-American president.
