Nurses inspired by Obama's speech

TAMPA -- As a nurse, 37-year-old Shana Daniels said she's tired of seeing people go without health care. It should be an American right, Daniels said.

As she and two friends, also nurses, left the Barack Obama rally Monday afternoon to head toward the nearest early-voting location, Daniels said Obama's speech gave her hope.

Deborah Strong, a 57-year-old nursing home director walking out with Daniels, said Obama brings people together.

"He's our future," Davis said. "He's our children's future."
