Rainey tries hero worship

LAT columnist James Rainey writes today from Miami describing an Obama campaign event that obviously excited Rainey so much that he seems overcome with admiration for "the one." The crowd included "row after row of white, black and brown faces, craning to catch a glimpse of their candidate," Rainey says. Such crowds are "not enough, alone, to win an election" but "it's certainly news," according to Rainey.

What is? That the crowd was large and enthusiastic? Aren't they always? Dog bites man isn't news.
