EAST LANSING, Mich. - Close to 20,000 people, many of them Michigan State University students, roared as Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama took the stage at an outdoor rally in the middle of campus near Beaumont tower.
Shortly after taking the stage, the Illinois senator rallied the East Lansing crowd by yelling, "Go green!" and the audience roared back, "Go white!"
Obama also said he was excited to be at Magic Johnson's alma mater and to meet Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo. He held up a green-and-white basketball jersey with "Obama 08" on it.
The Michigan State stop followed a morning rally in Grand Rapids, where nearly 16,000 people turned out to see Obama.
