PHOTOS: President and Michelle Obama, Bruce Springsteen Rally Iowa Voters One Last Time
President Barack Obama ended his campaign last night in Des Moines, just steps from his former 2008 campaign headquarters, making a final push for Iowa voters with over 20,000 looking on.
President Obama brought the final campaign rally of his political career back to the place where it all began, asking voters Monday night to help him win a second term. More than 20,000 Iowans packed the streets in the East Village of Des Moines, and both the President and first lady were serenaded with chants of "Four more years!" as they spoke to supporters last night.
The president brought Bruce Springsteen along with him. Springsteen, who has appeared alongside Obama through much of the campaign, came out to a rousing ovation. Urging Iowans to get out to vote, Springsteen told attendees that he was convinced Obama was the right choice for the country.
Obama will spend the day in Chicago waiting for the election results to come in, while Iowa supporters will be gathered in the Hotel Fort Des Moines, in downtown Des Moines tonight, waiting to find out if the president will be elected to a second term.
