String of Crowd Fainting Incidents Hits Obama Rall...

2/16/08 Fired Up and Falling Down: String of Crowd Fainting Incidents Hits Obama Rallies Los Angeles Times on one of the six recent fainting incidents: "Barack Obama's first and only rally on election day came to a sudden and lengthy stop when a young woman in the Dartmouth College gym fainted, and was eventually rolled off on a gurney by emergency medical technicians. At first Obama half-narrated the episode, saying soothing things like, 'She's OK,' 'She's talking.' But the longer she lay on the floor, the quieter Obama got, standing on the podium, arms folded, looking worried as the medical crew worked."
