PEPSI CENTER -- Les Spencer and his pal may not be convention delegates, but they're definitely "Rednecks for Obama."

They've been standing outside the Pepsi Center with a huge banner to that effect this afternoon. And with 15,000 journalists around, they're getting their share of coverage. With a soft, Southern accent, Spencer explains that they're Obama fans — and they're out to convince others, too.
