Obama is a fraud

In Your Face Mccain!

STANDING ROOM ONLY! That sounds great, doesn't it,CNN?

Guess the "regular" convention was okay for the past presidents but not good enough for this super star. I'm just shaking my head. This has gone from exciting to ridiculous. Where have all the adults gone?

Isn't excitement and charisma what we are looking for in a president?

I made arrangements to be in Denver, even though I wouldn't be able to get into the Convention. I just wanted to be in the atmosphere, but now I will be able to attend his speech as well. This is awesome!

So because he gets a bigger venue to speak to a larger crowd that makes him arrogant? Republican bloggers you disappoint, yet again!

And just who pays for that show off performance. I am sure somehow the taxpayer is paying for that stupid speech. I am sooo sick of his Hollywod type speeches. The only thing Obama is going to change if he gets to be President is his promise of change. It wil never happen.

It would be nice to see 75,000 plus cheering Democrats on the 28th of August. Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, all joined together to change this country back to the world leader it once was before this current administration set us back years. I love Hillary Clinton but Obama is the real reason for the excitement this election year. I wish I could be one of the thousands that will be there to hear his awesome acceptance speech. I truely believe that it will futher inspire all of us to break donw the race, gender and political walls that seperate us as Americans. As of today, our country is a house divided and as a result, we aren't as strong as we once were. This November we have a chance to help heal our country and we can't afford to let anyone scare us back into division because that's how they are able get tax breaks while sending our jobs over seas. That's how they get no-bid contracts worth millions and why bridges costing thousands get built that lead to nowhere while main street bridges that are used by everyday US citizens fall ffrom under us. Come on America, haven't we taken enough from corperations that throw on out on the street after we have made the CEO's rich fat cats? Now is our time to stand together and when they tell us we can't …. we stand together and with one voice say loudly…. "Yes We Can!!!!!!!!

Obama in 2008
"It's Time"

Not even president yet and this socialist already wants to start rounding people up into camps..errr stadiums.

Take that John McCain!

An entire football stadium full of energy and excitement in Denver versus what I can only imagine will be one of the most boring political conventions ever in the Twin Cities!

I was in Boston and LA and thought they were amazing. Denver is going to be INCREDIBLE!

Of course the Obama campaign wants the larger venue, This is where the candidate best performs. Here he can have the house packed with his volunteers and say nothing while his adoring throngs cheer on his great words of pseudo hope and change. Who cares that he is turning his back on the delegates that voted for him ( some of whom were threatented to be stripped of their credentials if they did not). Let me know when they announce the rock group that will open for him. That's who the young supporters really come out to see.

Wake up voters. This man's EGO will be his downfall. But it will be up to the grownups in the party to clean up the mess created by the DNC and Obama campaign.

It is to be hoped that the occasion will not be marked with thousands of flags and bowls of flame lest memories of a certain orator in Berlin come to mind.

Or you could have Hillary half-filling some poolroom somewhere with her 200 hardcore men-hating lesbians and ancient old ninnies who comprise the PUMAs — who still cannot get a single respectable person to join with them.

The only difference betwen Obama and Osama is BS. He play race card w/out provocation to gain sympathy. HE IS ARROGANT FOOL.

Could Obama cast the presidency of the United States any lower? This man makes a mockery of the Democratic process. He is a snake oil salesman and panderer of the first order. If American elects this clown, MAYBE America will survive long enough to recover from the damage he causes. Maybe not.

It's funny how Obama cant win for losing with the opposition…

1) If he denouces Wright initially, he is throwing him under the bus. But if he doesnt denounce Wright, he is an anti-American, socialist, unpatriotic, elitist.

2) If he doesnt wear a flagpin, he is unpatriotic. If he does, he is a flip flopper

3) If he does a "fist bump", he is unprofessional, if he doesnt, he is an elitist

4) If he praises Hillary Clinton's campaign, he is an appeaser, if he doesnt, he is sexist

5) If he seeks council from advisors, he is a weak flip flopper, if he doesnt, he is an inexperienced naive leader.

If you are not going to vote for him, then dont, but get your reasons together and stop HATING on him for no reason.

I hear J.J the Jet Plane is flying in Bob the Builder to play his "Yes we can" theme song for Obama's opener. Other acts include Clifford the Big Red Dog, Curious George and the Sesame Street band. Fun for all the kids..

A history making acceptance speech!!

Hitler was a good speaker too LOL.. see what I did there?

"Finally a President with vision, intelligence and leadership. "

What could you possibly base that profound statement on?

The 7.5 devastating years of the George Bush administration resulted in the energy of the voters in the democratic nomination.
The race between Obama and Clinton was extremely close. Does this not prove the point?

arrogent this, ego that… you people just don't like the fact that a black man is going to be the next president, get over yourselves, he is 10000 times a better choice than McSame will ever dream of being. He only wants to let those who want a chance to be involved be involved, which is something new. Republicans want you to stay home, they don't want you involved in their politics unless your name is Exxon or KBR….. Obama is for the people, Mcsame is for Big business and the top 3%, MOSTof YOU are not rich and will never be under the republicans..

Yeah let's just change EVERYTHING about the convention. better yet let's not even HAVE ONE. let's just MAKE obama the prez.

I swear, this man and his ego!!

What a Joke!

I can't wait for this Ego Maniac to go down!

McCain 08

i'm more concerned about his back and forth on important decision issues like iraq. He needs some seasoning or better yet honesty and consistency.

I think some are confusing a history making, exciting and inspriring politcal movement for arrogance. Too bad.

Another Good Move From Obama! He Will Need The Extra Space! Mccain Could Never Bring A Crowd That Large!

See you there!

Obama '08

THis is a huge photo OP that his team is taking advantage of with the larger stadium. I commend him on winning the nomination but the ego of the people around him and possibly his own still has me wondering whether or not he is the man for the job or is he the democrats version of GW BUSH.

He may win but will we lose? Bush had as much experience and plenty of talent next to him to advice but they advice a weak man and allowed our country to go down the tubes!

Hooray for Obama…..more power to you my president. GOD's blessings to you, your family and staff.

Arrogance is truely shameless. How anyone can be fooled by him is beyond me. We need a president that will work for all citizens. We do not need a diva.

Big deal ! Big mouth big stadium!
It's not how many people you can yak to that counts it more what you say that YOU REALLY MEAN. Convincing people you are really truthful and will work to help them is what counts. I don't think OB is the man to do this. We really need a WOMAN to straighten out the mess that having MEN run our country for over 200 years has created. My vote is going the other way.

What a bunch of sour grapes…if McCain could fill a venue that large, you can be sure he would be renting one!!

Just another gimmick for the emty suit. He can to the talk, not the walk. He is a puppet of Daley and the moveon.org group. Not an original thought from his own mind……..

hope you all enjoy the bus rides in, wish you all well, and next stop
hollywood

dear Richard, Wall Street yeah you are the only one seeing it…..think about that for a while.

If I could secure a flight, despite the increasing fuel and airline cost, I would so be there. I may still do. This is more than historic, it is imperative. I'd rather stand on the outs of a stadium than the outs of reality like Repugs and Bitter Billary supporters. It's not about me, the Clintons or the size of the venue, it is about the future of America. Please peeps. I was not here for the last 2 elections or 911, so I am only learning hoe Americans were led by fear to vote Bush twice. It is not only in our domestic interest to prove that we are as not as dumb as the MSM and the repugs believe, but most certainly in our international interest to go Bo. Please prove to me and the world that we are not as gullible as the rest of the world thinks we are and as the trolls like us to believe. It's now or never, save for a Kevin Costner water World America.

Tran:

The items you brought up are "peanuts" compared to the problems this country is facing, Are you supposing e shall take McCain to continue the failed policies that are ruining this country and with all his faults (Keating 5, etc…)

Lynn:

"Who will pay for this?"

It's called donors Lynn. Unlike McCain who will be using our Tax dollars!

Another free concert! Do we get free drugs and booze this time too!?

I pray Obama becomes out next President and helps to heal the sick soul of this nation and brings us together as one in unity with all peoples of Earth.

PUMA BABY!

There is a typo in the article. The reference to Obama's campaign for change should say campaign OF change since he changes his stance on at least one major issue every few days.

This guy has one heck of an ego, his handlers should try to keep that in check.

What an ego!

egomaniac, demi-god all bow to the mighty Obama

It blows my mind that anyone would call Obama a flip-flopper when he is running against John McCain of all people. McCain in May of this year said he was against offshore drilling and now he is for it. I'm not saying that is a bad thing, but people need to realize that is how politics are played. Bush is the anti-flip-flopper and look at what a tremendous job he's done.

I understand what they are trying to do by letting many more have access. Obama is serious when he talks change…nothing is off the table huh? I for one am willing to give him a shot.

A Dub

Matt hit it on the bullseye!!! Arrogant, shallow, fake, someone's tool, shall I go on?

the speech I am so looking forward to however is Obama in his inaugural speech in January .

AND so what if his last appearance was a rock concert? If it were McCain you right wing neos would be all over it giving props, but as it stands McCain is out of touch with mainstream America and would not have such a foresight to show up at such an event to send his message to thousands at a time. McCain is also allied with a president that hates America so who really cares what you GOP say anyway

the larger crowds he drew, the greater margin he loses – the primaries have have shown. Phony to his bones.

All the Republicans are trying to downplay Barrack Obama drawing 75,000 to the convention, but each one of them are likely saying to themselves: how many could "Bomb bomb bomb Iran" get?

Why doesn't he hold it in Red Square and a military parade too. Obama is out-of-control. His cult following worships him. But the real danger is that he worships himself.

Obama survives on mob mentality. His fans never think logically about anything; they just grab the current mantra and spew hatred and animosity toward the opponent. The only difference in Obama's mob and mobs of the past is their use of the internet to attract members from different regions of the country. As the mobs of young in the 60s who wore flowers in the hair, smoked pot, and lived in communes to show their distrust and condemnation of the establishment, they still do not think for themselves. Instead, they allow the mob to reign. We can only be grateful that they have not, yet, physically harmed those whom they fear and condemn.

It is disgusting how much money the media moguls and the Corporations make off of the office of President. We wonder why we live in a Oligarchy. When Lincoln ran for president, he wrote a ten page speech that explained his positions and anybody who wanted a copy could get one. Now it's all flash in the pan. The common man has no say anymore, it's been proven by blackbox voting that the last two Presidential elections have been rigged with these electronic voting machines. When are we going to wake up. If they can't win our vote, they"ll steal it. The two party system is bought and paid for. Protect and cherish the Republic or lose it forever.

He is such a show off. I am liking him less everyday.

Kathleen sebelius SUCKS. i love how media idiots think shes some kind of substitute for hillary. what a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good venue for the speech though. hope hillary's alongside him, unless he wants to insult a lot of people.

VERY GOOD . HE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN A BIG WAY…..GO OBAMA…

Big deal, just means more people are being hoodwinked. When he talks he sounds like a preacher. Next thing you know he will be healing people of everything with his hand out!

Rah-Rah-Rah.

Just a bigger horse & pony show.

This move is to allow as many as possible to be there when the nomination becomes final, that's all. Unlike McCain, who need only go to the nearest school cafeteria to hold an important event because he gets very little support, Obama has millions and millions of supporters who want to share their joy when another step in the march to get rid of the BUSH REGIME occurs.

I think I'll go donate another $25 to help make this a better event! YES, we can and yes, I will. And so will millions of ordinary people who are hungry for change. Come'on, let's go…. say it with me… NO BUSH THIRD TERM!

D. Casey | Obama donator & supporter, currently in California but moving to Missouri to organize a campaign for Obama there.

Wow, his ego really does know no bounds.

he needs a place that holds millions of people…. we all want to see him.

What an amazing night this will be. I'm sure the entire world will be.

obama 08-forever

Only thing bigger then his head and ears is his EGO!

Tran,

Thanks for your insight. Don't vote for him, then.

I still am.

The Band was the Decemberists not Springsteen, might want to drop that argument that Obama couldn't draw that many people in Portland Oregon, does not get any farther left than this city which is fine for me. Crowd would have been bigger but there is not a suitable space in the whole metro.

i want to go!!! OBAMA, BARACKs my world

"Tran"

Reading directly from the Republican nonsense sheet.

Stop bringing up the same OLD minor things time and time again.

Crowds will come, I think it was a great move. He is truly for the people. Yes he has to move to the center on issues but his goal is still the same. Dems hang tough we will win in Nov. and a change will come.
YES WE CAN! Obama08

Pride goes before the fall.

Phew!!! Another overblown hype cycle of this dude who does not have a single legislation he authored worth any mentioning. I am getting tired of this Rock Star who cannot sing. He reminds me of Sanjaya of American Idol, last year. Just like they say in Texas, All Hats and No Cattle.

Judgment over Experience, McCain-FeinGold, McCain-Kennedy and there is a body of work from McCain. McCain served his country honorably when Obama was doing Coke.

Once Obama and his monstrous ego are in the stadium, there won't be room for anyone else.

Even though some voters dont like Obama, they will get the universal healthcare, affordable college education and peace and security in America. I have no doubt about this guy.

I kinda wish i could be there

Or……..could it be the clown wants to further feed his ego by speaking in front of a larger crowd? When is everyone going to figure he is nothing more than a sham and nothing more than rhetoric and snake oil salesmanship? Will there be fist bumps and high fives for everyone? Will he announce he's going against Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the idiot liberal democrats and put a realistic exploration, drilling and expansion program in place for the country's energy interests? I doubt it.

I hope it rains!

I've always thought that the money used in these conventions could go to something more positive for the community. For once, why doesn't a party stop spending money on these grandious displays to celebrate somebody in a suit and spend that money on the community?

Awesome.
How do I get a ticket?

ERICA, Ohio…. Yes, there was a rock concert from a little known band that could not have drawn 75,000 people…no way, no how. You don't have to like Obama or support him but you do need to be a realist.

I can't be there in person but I can be part of this in spirit. This is an opportunity for Obama to reach out to others and make them a part of that history. I am hoping (and believe) HRC will add her presence and message to this historic moment, as well as other democratic leaders.

If the different factions within the party can unify and develop a common message this will be a welcome change. let the rest of us learn, follow and contribute to change in november and beyond.

Great plan sir! No better way than to bring as many supporters as possible in for this historic event. And I could not agree more with Can I get my comments posted this time?… Put the entire convention there! I just wish I lived there, but I will be supporting strong and loud all the way from Georgia. As an educated, white southerner who just does not fit in with the stereotypical mentality, I am BEYOND proud to cast my vote for Senator Barack Hussein Obama this year! (P.S. Saying Hussein does not scare me Reps… Try something else to scare us into McCain)

I wonder if Mile High Stadium is big enough to hold his ego?

Or maybe it has something to do with the stupid "green convention" the Dems are having. No fried food allowed. At least at mile high folks can get a beer and hot dog.

Obamabots are a personality cult.

I think its really nice that he is doing this so as many as want can come. Its disappointing to get turned away.

Wow! Will Hillary speak, too? She should. I'm an Obama supporter, but it would be an even more powerful event if Hillary spoke as well.

Where is McCain giving his acceptance speech? At the VFW hall in Jersey City? (seats 30). Maybe he could bring Lieberman with him to give a speech, too. Those two together would be so powerful it would almost awaken me from my nap.

Is he going to make his halo or does he think one will magically appear. And besides…HE HASN'T BEEN APPOINTED BY THE DNC YET…although they worked long and hard on it, they still can't get real Americans to endorse this butt.

im sure the fat cats will fill the seats with party loyal. where do they get all this money?

You are the MAN

"Convention organizers portrayed the move as a reflection of Obama's success at encouraging people to vote for the first time"

So, just HOW will do you gauge success in encouraging first time voters who have not voted yet? The voting at political party conventions is done by political party regulars.

Doing it big in '08!

I will be there!!!!!!!

I hate to say this, but, I am not as enthralled with Obama. To move to the center like he is doing. To refuse to admit that he is changing his policies (and looking like a fool being questioned over and over again, without the ability to acknowledge his position has changed) is beginning to make me feel. . . . . . dirty.

I am by no means saying I would like to see HRC there (in fact I never want to see her again), but the things I do not like about HRC are starting to appear in Obama. He is a politician and he is beginning to act more and more like one everyday.

This football stadium thing is just another example. His head is too big for an indoor arena. He is like a Macy's parade day balloon.

If he keeps it up, he will lose. There are many people like me who voted for him because he was different. If he becomes the same, I would rather have McCain in there.

Elitist ! We are voting for a President not a rock star
This is so unfair for Hillary! She has the right to speak too!
Such an Elistist!

Good move! Party conventions should not be limited to delegates, party officials, elder, leaders and high-paying donors.

I find it comical that Obama has gone from die-hard Liberal to Moderate overnight and probably will go further towards conservative in the next few months to try gaining more favor with white voters. Then he'll probably go back to die-hard Liberal then back to moderate all before November lol.. this guy is funny. His whole platform of "CHANGE" is a sham. He's just as big of a flip flopping liar as Kerry was, or Obama's a sell-out. One or the other.

Glad he picked a stadium so there's enough room for his swelled head.

So where are all the haters? Here they come 1..2…3.. GO!

Obama 2008!

A question for PUMA. The same process was used in 2000 by democrats for electing a nominee AL-GORE, the same process was used to elect John Kerry and there was no screams of a flawed process. Now the same process was used by Clinton and Obama (this process was designed by hench men of the Clinton Machine), and you guys throw a fit because Obama won and called the whole process wrong? You all must be crazy!

That man think heis God, but he needs to know that God will humble him.

Pride goeth before destruction, he needs to humble himself.

BOTTOM LINE IS WHO WILL SHOW UP AT THE POLLS. THIS MAN IS NOT TALKING TO ME. HE IS TALKING TO THE CROWD. ANYONE CAN BE IN THAT CROWD. WE WILL SEE ALL THE BUSES FROM THE CAROLINAS, MISSISSIPPI, GIORGIA, ALABAMA ETC ETC. HALLELUJA!!!11

I need to reserve me a seat. This should be good.

The man is sick and so stuck on himself that he is a laughing stock. I can not believe he may be the President. I can't believe that the American people would be so taken in by him. It is really a very sad thing, and America will pay dearly if he is elected.

I think it's great that the DNC is doing this; I'm not an Obama or McCain supporter, but I respect democracy.

What I don't respect is poor journalism. The statement, "Obama's largest event to date was in Portland, Oregon, in May, where he drew a crowd of approximately 75,000." is false; Obama piggie-backed on a free concert thus making it the band's concert and not HIS event. So to correct, Obama's largest event to date was with talk show host Oprah Winfrey at Williams-Brice Stadium in South Carolina that drew about 29,000 people.

This is magnificent!

I wish i could attend the event.

Obama '08

Yes we can!!!

His campaign staff is worried about rain the day of his speech. Not to worry Obama will just have to walk on water to get to the podium. Then there will be no doubt that he is the Messiah because a lofty speach and a large crowd do not make a man of little accomplishments.

What an egomaniac this guy is!

This guys ego needs to be knocked down a notch, soon!!!!!!!!

Only makes sense, give more people an opportunity to attend.

Another stunt/PR move for a kid with three weeks of Senate experience and not much else.

I can't believe I'm actually going to vote Republican this Fall.

Thanks, Howard, Nancy, Ted, John, et al.

First you bring us Dubya, now President John McCain.

Oh well, maybe 2012 will be Gore's year. Finally.

my, my, don't we think highly of ourselves.

I understand the DNC is approx $6,000 over budget so far.

Imagine this for a weak, inexperienced candidate!

McCain is doomed

Cheers to our next President, Obama '08.

I hope it doesn't rain.

*************************************

MCCAIN'S HAVING HIS IN A TOWNHALL.

With all the problems with funding that the Democratic National Convention is going through, is this expensive ego boost really necessary?

Is the Denver Convention planning committee the next group Obama will throw under the bus?

THANK YOU….MAKING RESERVATION TO BE THERE.

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 08′

What an ego that man has.

Now that's showmanship! What a leader he will be!

It appears that Obama's ego exceeds his experience.

You know a lot of people will be there. This is history in the making so picking a huge venue is not a sign of ego. Obama wants everybody who wants to see him to have a chance.

What happens if it rains???

"WE WILL, WE WILL ROCK YOU!"

Excellent Barack! Way to go! Get in touch with more people and let them hear your message of hope and determination!
McCain has nowhere NEAR the power to draw large crowds like this and cannot compete and that is why he will lose in November.
Now watch all the idiot Anti-Obama Repugnicans and the retards that parrot the same "empty suit, no substance, no experience" crap come in here and start up.

Obama/Sebelius '08!

Guess he needs the extra space for his HUGE ego. Hopefully, he'll be knocked back to earth in November.

PUMA PAC

This is a masterful political move in terms of getting people involved and generating buzz. Being able to advertise and invite another 50 thousand people beyond the conventioners to the acceptance speech will create a lot of incentive to attend and be something of the political process.

Now the question will be: will enough people actually show up to fill the stadium? Because the major thing that could go wrong with this plan is if he gives the speech in the stadium and it's only half full. That would be painfully bad for the campaign's image.

hey, as long as he fills the seats…which I think will definitely happen…go ahead. It should be a good show of strength.

I wish I could be there in person. History in the making. It's also a wonderful way to include the public in the convention instead of just delegates and party insiders. Now everyone can participate in this event!

Great Idea, Big Thinking!!!!!! Sen. Obama will make a wonderful president!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama '08
Democrats '08

Lord, I hope this will *finally* be the wake-up call the Obamaniacs need! Do you get it yet? Are you starting to see who this man really is? He thinks he's a rock star – and it's all thanks to your blind adoration and willingness to completely ignore his history and behavior! A convention speech in a football stadium? Unbelievable!

If you're still riding the Obama train, please, for the love of all that is good in this universe, do some REAL research! (And – DUH! – reading his book, visiting his website, and listening to his prepared speeches is not research – it's falling victim to propaganda! Grow a brain, get a clue, and learn to think for yourself before it's too late for all of us.)

Obama '08 – The Sheeple's Choice!

WOW..this is fantastic !!!!! This is sign of things to come for all Americans and our country. BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS !!!!!!!
GO OBAMA…you are our next President !

This idiot just can't get enough of himself. What a loser. Every four years the dems send out the latest "savior" only to find out what clowns they actually are.

If I could afford it, I'd be there myself! I love Colorado too. Lived in Colorado Springs.

Why don't we have folks march around with torches as well? Then we can have a great Nuremberg re-enactment! Kool-aid anyone?

Way to go – Barack the Convention!!!

This is a contest between Old vs New; Old vs Change!

hey, as long as he fills the seats…which I think will definitely happen…go ahead.

Bigger isn't always better.

Its an honor for Senator Obama to pick the Home of the Denver Broncos for his acceptance speech. Perhaps the team could carry him onto the stage….

Obama loves to grandstand. The only problem is that his ideas don't fit his ego. I have been a democrat for 30 years and will not be supporting this con man in the fall. This will be the first election cycle that I have not voted. I am saddened that my party has chosen this do-nothing, know-nothing, egocentric, arrogant person for our nominee. Obama is much like G.W. Bush, all rhetoric and swagger, no substance.

Good, the more people he can draw the more to be dissappointed. This guy is on a magic carpet ride, kind of reminds of that idiot Kerry. Obama does seem to draw the loosers, furst Hillary now Johnny boy. I guess that pretty much sums up his followers as well.

NO QUESTION ABOUT IT—-OBAMA WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

BOMB BOMB McCAIN WILL BE HISTORY.

I think I am going to go VOMIT!

You know, I think it's funny how this man, who has nothing to show other than his educational credentials, some books, and his "great" speeches, has been given Rockstar status… Hitler had "Rockstar" status!

Everyone who voted for him kept telling me, you can't get any worse than George Bush(I NEVER voted for him!!…)… but you really can!!

That is awesome! Wish I could be there to witness history!!!

"Obama's largest event to date was in Portland, Oregon, in May, where he drew a crowd of approximately 75,000. He has done at least one previous stadium event, a joint appearance with talk show host Oprah Winfrey at Williams-Brice Stadium in South Carolina that drew about 29,000 people."

ARE WE LOOKING FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENT? OR THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL? I PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY AND WORLD'S FUTURE : * * (

I THOUGHT THE DNC WAS CASH STRAPPED?

Grandstanding at it's finest!!

Enough of the show and hype already. This is nothing more than a political show and trying to grandstand. Conventions are really about tradition, and for decades the acceptance speech has been a highlight for those in attendance at the convention center and on television. Inviting others to a stadium is a political move intended to show off and use his charisma to further manipulate voters into believing he deserves to be president. Obama is all about show, and will do anything to get elected. No other presidential candidate has ever moved away from tradition as much as he has. Some things are better left alone – and this is one of them.

I am sorry to hear, read this. Size matters, so it seems!! I am, and remain, an Obama supporter. However, I am concerned about the move toward the dramatic and the right.
However, if moving it to the football stadium will get him elected in the fall then I am for it.

Take note republicans – this is what it looks like when your party has failed so miserably. The likes of Dick Cheney, GW, Karl Rove, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld and all the other hate mongering, racist, biggoted, small minded corporate slaves YOU stood behind have broken the back of our military, sank the economy, caused irreparable damage to our environment and pissed off every nation on the plant. Still consider yourself a republican? What does it take for you to realize your party has nothing this nation needs.

Take note Dem's, yes Clinton left us with a budget surplus and friends around the world which comparatively speaking is much more than any republican has ever done however your future is not cast in stone either – pay attention. We are watching all of you closely!!

It had better be one hell of a speech! (And for God's sake, don't let Michelle speak). He will look like a fool if he doesn't fill the stadium. Would hate to see everyone from the higher tiers asked to come sit down front to fill all of the empty seats sop it looks good on cam.

That's nauseating. It reminds me of the hordes who supported the Ayotollah Khomenei. Have you red "Reading Lolita in Iran.?

AHHHHH EGOS AT THEIR FINEST. GOTTA DO IT BIG.

OBAMA OBAMA!!!!! Please squash that mccain and his republican hencemans for good.

Obama better call up the Decembrists to open again.

Obama's 2 huge crowds are just him turning up at large events where the crowd is young, stoned and friendly.

Then CNN reports that he's very popular. Again. and Again. and Again.

CNN should send the Obama campaign a bill.

All hail King Obama. Im not sure the stadium is big enough for his followers or his ego, give me a break.

I think he really GET'S IT now himself. The magnitude of his candidacy and what it means for this country is unprecedented. The entire country is at a place historically it's never been before. An African American who embraces his ethnicity and looks America right in the eye and challenges us all to do the same. Not with disdain but with hope and respect and the attitude that Yes We Can.

I'm just thankful to be alive to even have this conversation about Barack Obama being in a position to plan to accept the Nomination. History is at our doorstep America.

Well…if they President gig doesn't work out….
He could always be a opener for the Rolling Stones–he can really pack the arena!! Especially when the tickets are free—and he's offering so much more for free (unless you're the unlucky professional or small business person who will be footing the tax burden for his idealistic agenda and theoretical foreign policy, human services, and economic programs).

i AM GLAD THIS WILL GIVE MORE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO ATTEND. tHIS IS TRULY FOR THE PEOPLE. SINCE I AM NOT A DELEGATE I CAN BE A PART OF THIS HISTORY MAKING EVENT.

I support Obama but hope he's not getting in over his head here. Anything less than a sell-out crowd is going to be criticized by the republicans as him receiving payback for being pompous and overly confident.

my family in colorado plans to attend to show support.

good move.

obama 08

Strikes me as a bit elitest and arrogant. And I'm trying to be a supporter. But, whatever…

Let's hope he has more success in that stadium than the Broncos do.

Barack's a rock star! Let's see McCain try to rock out 75,000 peeps.

Who cares

Why does this story remind me of the Pied Piper of Hamlin?

Power to the People!!!!

Keep hope alive, as well as the constitution. Vvote no on FISA.

GOBAMA

This man is creating a cult of personality to do his bidding, not that of the country. He despises the country. Look at how he flip flops constantly on majory issues, pitting all sides against each other while he picks up the pieces of the broken empire he created. He'll be the savior. Look around for historical precidents. They abound folks. The visuals of this outdoor spectacle bring to mind one particular era of the 20th Century: Facism

Hey CNN. Will you be covering the crowds who will be protesting the failed leaders of the undemocratic Democratic Party for the way they tossed out our core democratic principles with the trash in order to hand their selectee the nomination of our party and protesting the sleazy tactics of the Obama campaign during the nomination process? They will be in Denver for the convention in the thousands too!

um….this IS a priority? NOBAMA.

This is amazing! I am ready to go anywhere the nomination is! My relatives that marched in Washington in 1963 will be there also. I cannot wait to witness this historic event. What a time for our Country to celebrate. My 98 year old aunt is packed and ready to go now!!! People from every walk will be there. The Dream of Dr. King will be manifest 45 anniversary of this wondeful day. The stadium will be filled to capacity. There will be thousands in the overflow! Many people are ready for change! May God bless America!
Obama 08/12

All I can say is WIOW!! That place will be rockin!!

I have to agree with the portrayal that the convention organizers have provided. This venue should adequately seat the humongous crowd that the Democratic National Convention will draw this year.
There will probably be more than 75,000 people in attendance which I hope will lead to a tailgating extravaganza with alot of food and good will towards man.
I would really like to go. I would like to see Obama in person.
I want to see everybody FIRED UP! & READY TO GO!
aRE YOU READY?

DEMOCRATS ,08 AND FOREVER!

I wonder if Senator Obama will tap Gov. Sebelius as his VP..that would be a fair compromise for Senator Clinton

Obama/Clinton 08!

OR

Obama/ Sebelius 08!!

Is this real?
Not a joke?

So, we all believed that there would be "no more politics as usual" and we supported this guy… Now, they are spending MILLIONS of dollars to give a "speech" about a nomination that we already know he has?

He could have won over ALL the people if he stuck to his WORD and said give the money to areas of out Government that needs it… WE DO NOT NEED AN EXPENSIVE PARTY… I am sickened by this and disappointed that Senator Obama has OUTRIGHT lied to us all…

Nothing will "change"… He is a greedy politician and the spotlight has gone to his head…

He lost my vote and I am turning to the Independent Party.

This is sick…

The only change I see Obama championing is the change in his once far left liberal message…

I'll be there!

Meanwhile McCain can't muster up enough supporters to fill an Olive Garden despite the lure of free breadsticks.

Obama = the people's champ!

Obama '08

Is this man's ego out there or what? He must not be elected or he will be expecting us all to call him 'your majesty". Get smart people.

Funny how CNN desires to leave out the fact that those 75,000 that turned out for his last appearance had actually paid to see a rock concert, no…., not the progressive rock star formally known as Barack Hussien Obama, but a real band playing real music..

It is disgusting how much money the media moguls make off of the office of President. We wonder why we live in a Oligarchy. When Lincoln ran for president, he wrote a ten page speech that explained his positions and anybody who wanted a copy could get one. Now it's all flash in the pan. The common has no say anymore, it's been proven by blackbox voting that the last two Presidential elections have been rigged with these electronic voting machines. When are we going to wake up. If they can't win our vote, they"ll steal it. The two party system is bought and paid for. Protect and cherish the Republic or lose it forever.

CNN…THERE YOU GO AGAIN.

OBAMA did not personally ask for his speech to be moved, the DNC made that call. Stop trying to infuriate people. Just get over it CNN…OBAMA IS THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE!!!!

Eat your heart out Sting!

Absolutely Silly-This is a Dem convention speech-not an Obama rally-what an arrogant fool!!!-Will someone please pull him aside and have him check his EGO at the convention door!!!

An Indep. voter

You know what they say about men with big cars.

Is Obama's huge ego somehow meant to compensate for his small…….. record of achievement?

That's Great! I just hope the weather holds up. I hope the staduim overflows with voters. The more the merrier!

You Go Barack!

Is he a politician or rock star?What an ego he has.Does he honestly think that high of himself?Thank GOD i'm going to be out of the Country and i won't be seeing this propiganda.

A change is in the air………………………..YES WE CAN

cool

Now thats MEGA !!!

Obama 08/12

THANK YOU MR OBAMA
we can expect this of you, always thinking of the people. how nice so many can take part of history thanks to you. we are so proud of you and god bless you and your beautiful family and america.

I cannot wait.

I pray security is tripled.. it bothers me that he will be so vulnerable. I pray he will be safe and what a thrilling day it will be!! Maybe he could borrow the Pope mobile?? God Bless his heart for wanting more people in on the historic moment!!

Great — Let's fill it.

Just read the new book by Lincoln Chafee (former moderate GOP senator from RI, voted out in 2006 and now independent, who has endorsed Obama) over the holiday weekend. Recommended.

great!

The Bush era is finally over!

Obama is in a league of his own. How incredible that he has turned politics into something people want to participate in so badly that they have to have the speech at a football stadium. Awesome. This is history in the making folks. Get on board and vote Obama. You can tell your kids and grandkids that you were part of the solution.

Talk about arrogant.
Guess he needs more room to flip flop.
I was going to vote for him because of Hillery but his changes
on abortion, wire taps, public finance, gun control, and oh yes
his big one, the Iraq war, 16 monthes, to whatever the generals
say, Barrack who, McCain.
Novembers cold anyway, just stay home.

This is one Independent voter that won't watch him on TV or in a 75K seat stadium. He's so full of himself he's acting like one of these TV Preacher's who needs a stadium to lead his brainless flock.

The disappointments for Obama's followers will start sooner rather than later when he fails to deliver, and fail to deliver he will.

More of the same instead of "Change We can Believe In" (sic).

Awesome! 75,000 brainwashed people supporting change. Change like higher taxes, socialism and violations of our constitutional rights. Go Brack Hussein Obama, oh wait, I forgot, we are never supposed to mention his middle name.

On the other hand, Gramps McCain will be making his GOP acceptance speech at an IHOP during the Early Bird Special, so more people in his age group can hear him speak……

Change change change………….

I think I'm ready to run for state senate now.

When the time comes, Republicans will try to paint this as a failure if there's a single empty seat in the stadium. Realistically, any venue that allows more people to participate should be preferred. So if 30,000 attend at the stadium, that's a huge improvement over the 20,000 that could attend at a convention hall.

The problem is that a sold out convention hall leaves folks guessing just how many more would have attended if they could (50,000?, 100,000? 1,000,000?), while a half-filled stadium answers that question, and may do so in a way that's sure to fall short of some of the wildest estimates.

Filling a stadium doesn’t win elections but its sure puts the fear of God in the other candidate and even more IF there are another $75,000 outside in the parking lot.

The real change in Obama is that his positions are now almost in lock-step with President Bush. He is more "W" than "W".

I think enthusiasm is all well and good… but I get the impression we are electing a rock star for President instead of someone who is really qualified and serious about "helping" our country get back up on its feet. To me Obama is like an overpaid Athlete. He is given much more attention that he deserves and when we do give him this attention we show we have our priorities mixed up on what is important and what is not. All this attention for a man who has barely been in the U.S. Senate for 4 years, he has no experience running anything remotely like a country, i.e. Govenor, but he gets all this attention like he is someone who is going to make everything alright just because he promises "hope". Hope is wonderful. I believe in hope. Without it we have nothing. However, hope does not get the bills paid. We need real solutions, and so far I have heard nothing credible from that man's mouth regarding "real" solutions to important issues. I'm sorry he doesn't impress me in the way I need to be impressed to vote for someone to lead our country. I'm afraid I may end up sitting this election out if someone doesn't soon show me the "beef". I want some real answers, not just political rhetoric. Obama is no different, no matter how big the stadium is that he speaks in. I think he is afraid to get too close to the audiance. That's why he prefers and does much better at speaking in that venue.

Why is President Bush so concerned about what is going on in other countries, instead of America?

"Happy Days Are Here Again". We are ready to dance in the streets. Go Obama Go !!!!!! Bring the Bacon Home !!!!!

I think Obama's Oregon event was orchestrated to show big audience for him .So this convention will be the same. They will orchestrate/stage this event. I think McCain ought to do the same to counter this make-believe event.

I am making arrangements to fly to Denver.

Let's change the world.

that just wonderful. my dad is taking us to see him " THE MAN OF 21FIRST CENTURY" who would miss that… b t w i am in Canada we will travel to the USA to see him… so excited i cant wait

You Rock BARACK!!!!

He is the best… Hand down…. !!!

SAVE OUR ECONOMY FROM MCSAME!!!!!!

More BS from BO. The only chance this man has of becoming president is tricking the American people into thinking he is the best qualified (not), the best candidate (not) and having these larger than life crowds in an attempt to make the nation think that 98% of the American people support him (not). More Barnum and Bailey tactics from BHO.

Wasn't sure I liked this idea at first but thinking more about it I believe its good. In keeping with his "change" theme..why not end the convention in front of as many supporters as possible. Of course the HRC folks an McSame bunch will howl about the "arrogance" of it but who cares.

The week of my birthday..I would love to go..how do i get tickets?

Does this say that government can work from the little guy up?

Now that's going to be one huge crowd!

We've seen these crowds come out for Obama before. They just add to the perception that Obama is nothing more than a personality with a great big cult following.

This change of venue was a big mistake for a guy who's trying to move to the center without losing his left-wing base. Isn't he trying hard to look presidential?

He's just feeding the perception that he's a sleazy weasel with nothing to offer but flowery rhetoric and empty slogans, the perception which the Republicans are doing such a great job of creating because, well, it's based in reality.

Obama is sleazy weasel with nothing to offer but flowery rhetoric and empty slogans.

Good for him. Now the next President needs to reprocess spent fuel rods to cut down on Nuclear Waste. Drill for oil and invest all tax revenue from oil plus some on alternative energy. We can not put all our eggs in one basket so to say. Lets see some real change. Get tough on tough issues, thats what all the people that will fill a beautiful football stadium want to see. Hope there isn't a thunderstorm.

If I could afford it, I'd be there in a flash! I envy those able to participate in this historic event!

Minorities’ and women should never hold a position of authority over a white man, these are not just my beliefs but the principles this nation was founded on. This is the way God intended it to be, that is why this is in the fix that it is now in.

McCain is the only candidate that can begin to restore order to this great nation of ours.

Wow!!

im sure there will be much said about his ego

Its just practical tho – so many people would want to go

the dude just works so well on that level. Take the 2004 speech at the convention for kerry.

So, those who take issue with his ego, take issue with that fact that 75 000 people will likely be happy to listen to him.

This will be the coolest thing since Elway's retirement!

Great Move!!!!!

To show the world that as country we have more participation in the political process than ever before. The sight of this candidate to change the world will be clear. I wonder how bright the green background will be for the ther side. It's time to turn the page on Bush/McCain policies that has created a society of haves and have nots. It's time for fairness in this country and less division.

I think this is ridiculuous. It is not a rock star contest. And what about if he does not get the nomination. It is snub to all delegates who will be sitting in Denver. There is no way I am voting for this kind of a politician.

I wish you nice weather that historic day, Mr. President!

As long as the Broncos do not have a Night Exhibition Game that night, than its cool.

You better believe I'll be there. Democrats need to rally behind Obama if we want to take back the white house.

And for the record, these 'PUMA' people, are really just neocons in disguise. No Democrat would ever be that misguided – they'd throw the election away just because they backed the wrong horse. It makes me ANGRY.

Hope they don't offer free Kool-aid.

Interesting choice, and completely irrelevant. I've voted democrat in most presidential elections – never voted for a Bush, but I'm having trouble with Obama right now on substantive issues like his change on FISA and I'm waiting to hear what his new position will be on Iraq after he visits. I hope he doesn't lose his grasp on reality while there and become a McCain "All's well, ends justify the means" kind of leader.

Meanwhile the change that's being reported on is this claptrap. *sigh* Might be time to look somewhere else to get my news. Maybe Comedy Central. They have 2 programs with better reporting than this.

Barack's campaign has inspired me to write in my vote for Senator Clinton.

I am not giving my vote to him.

I might have to make the drive from Minnesota to witness such an historical event. Obama '08

ROCK, OBAMA , A NATION ON THE MOVE TOWARDS THE FUTURE… AWESOME….

His arrogance is sickening.

Puma

Barack will be a great president. We don't John McSame old thing–we want a new direction, a new America.

The larger the audience, all the better. This man is such an inspiration, just what our country, the nation and the world needs at this time!

The only other person who has inspired me since I reached voting age, was Robert Kennedy and before that, as a little kid, seeing the excitement that his brother John F. Kennedy ignited in my parents and their generation!

One man cannot resolve all the ills that we are dealing with, but he can and I feel certain inspire each of us as citizens of this country to do our part to make it a better place!

Yes we can, and YES we will!

Barack '08

Good job guys on getting the event moved to Mile high. This will be Epic seeing 75K seats filled while McCain will be lucky to have 20K filled.

Bronco Country–sign me up.

The people are speaking loud and clear. WE WANT CHANGE.

Obama 08

Hey, when you got it, you got!

This is awesome!! Just awesome!!!

Richard Greene continues to perpetuate the driveby media obsession with "Barry." For those brainwashed by the liberal media, Barry was the name Obama used as a child in Indonesia.

Let's get it straight once and for all, the free event in Portland was a rock concert by a very popular local group called the Decembrists. The crowd was not there specifically for Obama but to see and hear the band.

CNN and Mr. Greene, stop misleading the people of this great nation with your misinformation about "Barry."

If Senator Obama puts another 90% of likeminded folks into the ballot booth, he'll take Colorado.

Especially since he really covered much of the state in the primary whereas Senator McCain came in a dismal second on the Republican side. Heck, even Senator Clinton took more votes tham Romney who won the Rep side of the primary.

I am a Republican Obama supporter…..excellent

He is the only candidate that can fill a place of this size…..

BARACK THE VOTE PEOPLE…………………

NOW THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING TO SEE

Yes, it's true that Obama has the ability to attract a lot of attention, and it's also true that about 72,000 people were in Portland, Oregon on the day of his rallying speech. Don't forget that the Decemberists- a popular band that rarely gives live performances- was playing FOR FREE in Portland that day… Also, CNN should not omit that it was the first beautiful day of spring in Portland this year and not all of those 72,000 were there to watch/support Obama: Many were there enjoying the day, and the great live (free) music!

That being said- Lets get a D back in the White House!

Denomination, Obamanation, to run for CIC????

I have to read "Dreams of My Father" by the end of this month. We're having a book club meeting. I think it's a wonderful way of getting to know him better.

Thanks for moving the venue to the stadium–that should be awesome.

Is this the right road to the White House? Seems pretentious; in your face aproach. I would like to see John McCain counter with a sincere, more humble acceptance speech. I think the road to the White House that I suggest for John is in keeping with the simplicity and humility of our founding fathers and the founding of our Nation. Americans proudly identify with the simplicity and humility of that time. To make it into some big media event is simply to turn everything good on its head.

Thats what I am talking about. Obama is the poeples champ! Obama 2008!

My wife became a US citizen this year and will be voting in her first presidential election in November. She is very excited that her first vote will help put this visionary in the White House.

WOW

I think a lot of people want to be there and witness this history in the making. Making his speech in a place where more people can hear is perfect. I would go myself if school didn't start on the 25th. I imagine this in going to be jammed packed.

OBAMA 08!!!

YES WE CAN!!!!! GO Obama !!!!

Now, they're going to call Obama a flip-flopper for changing stadiums. Just wait.

The McCain campaign is getting desperate…

He has an ego problem. How many people will he bus in to fill the stadium. Let it rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simply Marvelous…

I'm sure it will be filled to capacity.

Who cares? Obama is a socialist.

And the deal in Oregon where "he drew a crowd of 75,000," well he spoke in between sets at a rock concert, as i understand it. He didn't draw all 75,000 people, but hes willing to lie to you and say he did, just so he can be viewed as "mr. popular," because he's banking on the Americans being idiots and voting for a "winner!"

You mindless sheep. I wish there were more American-minded Americans- we have become a bunch of whiney, entitlement minded babies. Thanks, liberals.

I am not surprised. We all love Senator Barack Obama and he drew so much crowd that he need to pick a huge place that will accomodate 75,000 seats or more. He is a rock star that everybody want to see. We love you Barack Obama!

Obama '08/Sebelius

Can you spell POMPOUS. As in pompous, and self-aggrandizing. Heaven help our country.

I hope he doesn't get rained on. It will be even more impressive when held up against McCain giving a speech in the ballroom of the Minneapolis airport Hilton, a few hundred yards away from the Larry Craig Memorial Bathroom Stall.

On our WAY! Let's GO AMERICA!

Obama '08/12

It's historic! And I am so proud of my native Denver. What a highlight in our city's history. Yes We Can!!

No offense to either party's convention as both parties move this nation forward but this is a nice way to move forward.

Woo…. Woo.. That's what I'm talking about. .
By the way, Mcsame make not mistake trying to do the same thing because you will be ashamed. Please stick to a town hall.
Let's the rock party begin. It will be fun. How much is the ticket? I'm making reservation right now.

YES WE CAN!!!!!!

Oh brother, Just like JFK, what a copy cat.

I can only the imagine the reaction of the Obama-haters to this move. Let's see…what will we read? Egotistical, arrogant, head too big for the convention center, yadda, yadda, yadda.

We do have a local ball park that seats about 6,000. Think McCain could fill that?

I have a horrible feeling the more I see how the election process is turning into American Idol instead of a political campaign. Rather than fostering an educated electorate who votes for a candidate based upon his or her record, we are instead seeing a shift towards presenting candidates as rock stars. Forget the issues. Let's get people excited by huge venues, celebrity endorsements and performances, YouTube, and whatever new media we can invent. It's smoke and mirrors. It's a snow job. And I can't ignore my gut feeling that we'll reap the benefits in the end.

It's so hard to feel positive about ANY of our candidates this election, when you have Obama and his patina of Hollywood fantasy on one side, and McCain the chameleon on the other.

I think Obama's idiosyncracies are becoming more obvious.

He changed his position on campaign finance by rejecting public funding. He sat at a seat with a symbol that highly resembles the U.S. Presidential symbol. He is starting to modify his position on Iraq. Now he changed the way the convention is operated.

I think Obama lacks a personality developed by experience and is too inclined to changing his mind and acting based simply on how he feels at the moment.

Benjamin
Albuquerque, NM

Our next president of the US is starting off with a bang. We are going to have a great convention. What a wonderful way to include the people. It's a wonderful time to show the world that we are resolved to make a difference in this country.

Thanks Iowa for getting the ball rolling.

Obama 08

YAWN

How arrogant can you get?! What next, his face on the dollar bill? a stamp in his honor? How about sainthood, he has enough money to buy that too. It would dispell rumors about him being a muslim too!
What a phoney! Smoke and mirrors ladies and gentlemen.

One can only hope that people will eventually see that Obama is a shameless political chameleon pushed to the forefront of the pack simply because he could be packaged by George Soros to look like a clone of President Kennedy.

But this is a pathetic game of appearances, and Obama is certainly no patriot such as John F. Kennedy was. I didn't care for a lot of what Kennedy represented at the time, but he was a tolerable president, even good in some ways. With Obama we would have something else entirely.

There is no choice. We must vote for the "Democrat "John McCain. As with Kennedy, McCain would be tolerable.

Wow, paint me red, white and blue and sign me up—I love it. I'll be there.

BO is so full of himself it's disgusting.

The Audacity of Hype.

What an arrogant fool.

This will be sold out.

He is so in love with himself it's disgusting to watch.
I hope he chokes in his own empty words.

PUMA

This is no surprise, and it'll be agreat event. McCain couldn't handle a crowd that large , he's just not a good enough speaker. But Obama is a talented speaker and inspirational figure, so it will certainly be interesting, can't wait…

Obama!

Let's not forget that when he drew 75,000 in Oregon earlier this year there was also a FREE Decemberists (among other groups) concert opening for his speech.

Ok, I'm already bracing myself for people saying that he is arrogant for this move…

Of course I disagree, but on this message board, it's always the same thing,,,

Why go to a 75,000 seat facility when you won't draw more than 20,000 anyway?

Showing off, to make a big impression?

figures. he needs a place as big as his head has become!

I love it. I already have my reservation in Denver, but I didn't know whether or not I would be able to go the convention. Now I know–whoopeeee!

I will have a front row seat in history.

Obama 08

It's really good to know that his concentration continues to be on him and not the issues that are facing America today.

This man is continuing to make me dislike him day-by-day. Am I the only one that is seeing his lack of leadership and his commitment to his ego?

U.S.A. '08 not Ego '08

In a related story, McGiveaway will accept his nomination in China, Columbia, or Mexico.

Unbelievable. His arrogance just keeps on going. Who will pay for this? I wish everyone would quit talking about the 75,000 in Portland. People – it was a free concert. My little town draws 100 -123 thousand people to our free concerts. So I'm not impress. I read that Kerry was at the same concert in 2004 and it had 50,000. The good side of the stadium coronation will be more room for the protesters.

I hope all Democrats stay home.

Obama's rock-star sized EGO has grown too large to fit into the 20,000 seat Pepsi center. …so now he's opting to give his acceptance speech in a football stadium. This descision tells me even more about the candidate — and it's NOT positive.

I have a feeling that Obama's HUBRIS going to backfire in him big time…

No matter who wins in the end, this is the right location for this historical day.

The nomination of the first afro-american Nominee at this historic day (MLK) is a great event for the US!

Good for Obama…I hope the stadium is filled to capacity. Go Obama! On the other hand, I think McSame should just rent a small hall somewhere and sincerely hope there are a lot of empty seats which would be appropriate, in my opinion, as McSame is an empty suit.

Awesome!

The percentage of voters who refuse to support Obama because Clinton will not be his VP are by far outnumbered by the new voters Obama's campaign has helped get registered. All the new voters will give Obama the edge this fall. In many states, there are hundreds of thousands of new Democrats. Some of those were Clinton supporters, but most were (and still are) for Obama.

This stadium will be full. The lines to vote in November will be long. Nothing can stop this now…Obama will be our next President.

Obama is a flip-flopper and it was proven loudly and clearly by his actions. In 2002 when he ran for his current seat in the senate, he proclaimed he would not seek higher office in 2008. Well we now know what his CHANGE messages really meant he can change his mind regardless of what he had said. Obama did not wear a flag pin on his lapel, he claimed he was patriotic, no need to show it. However late May 2008, when he met the veterans, without shame he did wear one to appease the veterans for votes. Well Obama supporters may say these facts are minor. Maybe so, but minor facts define his characters or lack of. Needless to say, his actions show he would say and do anything to get elected. He has been singing praises of HRC under party unity disguise, the naked truth is again without shame he appeased her supporters for votes.
During the primaries, he often criticized his opponent's judgement. He himself admitted bad judgement in Rezko's land deal. Using his good judgement, he also spent almost 20 years as a member of Rev. Wright's church. The same Rev. who spewed hatred in his fiery sermons, the same Rev. who is Obama's spiritual advisor, close family friend and godfather to his children. Finally he had to leave the church and denounced the good Rev. because Dems nomination is far more precious than his friendship with Wright. Obama has been blowing smoke, advertising himself as a different kind of politician, however his actions speak otherwise, just another slick politician who would say and do anything to get elected, even throwing his own grandmother under the bus to justify his not denouncing Wright at first.
Obama seized the nation's pulse and singing CHANGE like a parrot; judging from his words and actions, it is not likely those CHANGES will happen.

Wow! No surprise here! It;s all about "Obama"!!!! He is so full of his own importance and once again, it;s all about "showmanship". He could walk on water and he still would NOT get my vote!!!

VOTE MCCAIN!!!!!

I love it.

Obama 08

Good for him. The more people who are able to see and listen to him, the more votes he will get.
Now, if the media, AP will start reporting fairly (as is goal they
should have but don't) we will actually get to hear about policies
rather than sensationalizing, distortions and bias.
The American people are so tired of of their irresponsible
reporting.

Obama will need a bigger auditorium!

So what.

YEH DONT FORGET TO MENTION IN OREGON THERE WAS A ROCK CONCERT GOING ON THATS WHY THERE 75,000 PEOPLE. BIASED BIASED BIASED. WHAT A JOKE

It's only a matter of time before the Obamaphobs show up decrying Obama's ability to draws tens of thousands to a political speech and witness history in the making. They'll say all it shows is Obama's ego, when in actuality it shows he has learned from his prior experiences and is being realistic about what to expect. In truth, these whiny poor, uneducated, angry adults are just jealous their candidate can't do the same as Obama.

/ROLLSEYES

I just don't have a good feeling about this guy.

This guy loves the sound of his voice…. Rock star yes, president… nope

I think it is great that he chose a larger venue for this in order for more people who want to attend to be able to do so.

No surprise. He needs that much real estate to disippate all the hot air he's guaranteed to spew.

McCain/08

I bet the republicans will complain about this and call it flip-flopping. Hey repubs…if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

All bow & pray to the Messiah! The audacity of this man is beyond belief.

imagine being in one of those seats at that time!!!!!

sounds like fun, wish i could be there….

I'll be right there. Can't wait.
Finally a President with vision, intelligence and leadership. It's about time.

Obama & Clark 08, 12

I think this is great. That more people can see this historic momement.

How many will see John McCain? 10.000? (is there that many active GOP members left in US this year?).

He will need a venue that large because of the crowds he attracts. BTW does anyone know what mccain stands for? I mean I know his campaign strategy consists solely of attacking Obama and it's all like trivial stuff but does he have any plans on how he will run this country? Or has he even thought that far?

Why have two venues? Why not have the whole convention in the stadium?

That's right! Oregon set the bar! Try to break our record, Denver!

OBAMA '08

I wish I could attend…..I would love to be there…..HISTORY is going to be made!
