SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS: In an Obama event with veterans in San Antonio and the bandwagon looks to be rolling on at a steady lick. As always the challenge for the Obama people is to provide space enough to hold everyone who wants to come (and to accommodate the press - who'd have thought Dana Millbank of the Washington Post would be turning up in San Antonio even a month or so ago? - or indeed the Ö÷²¥´óÐã?).
