to all you ignorant people. if you do not know your bible. the antichrist will be a religious leader. not a political leader. mcsame and the rest of you obama haters, are just jealous of sen obamas' popularity. get over it. CHANGE IS GONNA COME. OBAMA 08

Make no mistake about it Mr. Obama will be the next president of the United States. Poll are about to be found worthless come November 4, 2008

Wish I could be there…. Obama '08~!

Won't it be great to have an intellegent and diplomatic president? That leaves out McShame. He just can't cut it. Have all of you folks that support McShame sen any of his greates hits? You know the ones where he stumbles all over himself, always saying the wrong thing, and at the wrong time. He is always losing his place and forgetting what he is talking about, and forgetting what he has said.
What a loser. Really.

For you dummies asking why the poll numbers don't change, those pollsters call LAN lines which most young people don't own or answer. If they were to call cell phones I'm sure the numbers would be different. Selling out the Pepsi Center in 24 hours tells the true story. Get a life. Especially you PUMA idiots! You people make me sick!

Hey, what if the repubs or pumas purchased the tickets?
Obama's camp would have the money but the seats will not be filled.
Must think of the dirty tricks.

He he he , Here comes another bush oh Mcdooooole, Bush Sr, Bush Jr, Bush Oldie(McDoooole)

Debbie, you're an idiot.

The band that played in Oregon sells out venues that seat 2000 people at the most.

Turn off Rush Libaugh and learn.

And as far as the poll numbers go… If he's 5 points ahead in November, this election will be a landslide Obama victory.

WOW 60,000 seats gone in less than 24 hours and "THE WHITE HAIRED DUDE" can't sell out a town hall meeting when he pays people to come. Frankly I'm beginning to tire of hearing McCain speak of Obama as if he is a child that is incapable of understanding things. I am not a McCain supporter but many of my friends are beginning to tell me of how they are also getting tired of hearing him talk about Obama while it appears to them that Obama is running a fairly good and above board campaign. Obama has hit on him a few times but not in an insulting manner to his intelligence.

Now that's the way to tone down your rock star image, and take on the
serious business of running the country…. Rookie it's not the 80,000 you have to worry about its the 18 million that stay home

It's great another speech ,I'll give hm one thing he'll have you all crying for the messiah to change the world. But I don't think he is the one for real change but we'll see. And people should stop hating on mccain because of age the smartest person i know is my father and he's and old guy.Speeches don't necessarly make great presidents. Give credit to his speech writers and yes he can read!!! LOL thanks a teacher.
I will not vote for him he is unqualified to lead. PERIOD!!!

Old Mccain would never get even 10,000 people to gather to hear his old Bush Wrtiten Policies Obama is the Future Mcbush is the Past Obama= Future Mccain= Bush

There are people who wouldn't vote for Obama regardless of what he says or do. Some people still insist on being a racist and projecting there short comings on to others. We will vote to save them from their own self destruction.

Yea BUT the Polls are a virtual TIE ~~ Snark~~

The only way McCain can get any number of people to listen to him is to CRASH a Biker Rally and THEN he fumbled all over the stage. The Video is a CRACK-UP

Jealousy is an awful thing, and it will not help you win if you are a loser. Got that you McShame supporters?

No say it isn't so…I want to go…say it isn't so…I'm ready to fuel up my car and drive 1200 miles from Louisiana to Denver…say it isn't so…

For those of you who actually beleive 75000 people would show up for a rock concert that is "free", well I got news for you. The proof is there. You guys are trying to make an excuse for Obama drawing in over 200000 people in Germany. Every time he comes to Flint, Detroit, or Lansing he sells out in less than an hour, no matter how big the venue. In Denver, he has sold out the stadium in less than an hour. Those 75000 people were holding up signs for him, and pleading him to lead us in unity. These people were not just gathered for a free rock concert, but because they want change. You guys saying this BS must have voted for Bush the last two terms. McCain can't even fill up a town hall, that my friend is sad, he is old and washed up,. retire please McDone!!

Something to think about;

a) how many tickets did the DNC buy?
b) How many tickets have reporters bought?
c) How many tickets have PUMA's bought?
d) How many tickets have been supplied (in bulk) to corporate sponsors?
e) How many tickets have Republicans bought?
f) What is the opening act and how many Obamorons (you know Obama's prime demographic) have bought tickets?
g) what games are being played that day? Denver I'm sure doesn't have a game that day but they do broadcast other games on the megatron at mile high stadium.

Think Obamorons and maybe when/if you graduate in a couple of years someone will offer you a job.

"Sold out" isn't really the right term. The tickets are free.. and nobody in the general public has them yet. They just filled the request list and are starting on a Stand-by list.

I'm from Colorado and requested a ticket on Wednesday… ::crossing fingers::

I've hear rumors that The Boss is going to play to start things off.

Top that, McCain.

Can we all say, FABULOSITY. I am so proud of you Sen Obama and Michelle keep up the good work, and make your haters your motivators.

TO:LOVE MY USA ……You are so full of Hate ,tell me how can you hate someone that you don't know

LOVE MY USA…..DO YOU LOVE THE PEOPLE
LISA …….THAT'S ALL I can say is LISA!!
**** Please read –P,CA August 8 2008 12:27pm ET ****

Isn't it nice of Nobama to put this all together for our girl Hillary. She will be awesome at Invesco!!!
You go girl!

IS HE GIVEN OUT FOOD AND DRINKS THERE TO?
RUMOR HAS IT HE HAS SPENT ALL THIS MONEY FOR NOTHING ….BECAUSE HILLS. 18,000,000 VOTERS BOUGHT MOST OF THE B ECAUSE THEY PLAN TO THROW HIM UNDER THE BUS WED. NIGHT….
THEN THEY WILL BE THERE HILLS. SUPPORTERS TO SHOW OBOMA OTHERS CAN PLAY THE SAME DIRTY POLITICS HE PLAYED../……..
THIS IS A GOOD RUMOR,
LOOKING FOWARED TO SEEING IT PLAYED OUT……..

Wow…so JFK will still have the record though by less than 10K attendees
and still less than the Portland OR speech

Sold out? How much of a kick-back is obumble raking in from the cost? His show isn't worth the cost of a counterfeit 10 cent coin.

Keep banking on those polls, fools, Republicans, PUMAs, NFILs, you're all the same. Obama's key demographic mainly use cell phones, so there is no accurate way to poll all demographics, simply because many of the younger generation don't see the need for a land line.

i guess this should be the way we elect the president.
who ever bring more peaple to the stadium should be the winner

i hope m'con listen to me and try to do the same thing.

Will tickets being showing up on e-bay?

AWESOME! I wish I could be there! Mike, maybe you can get invited to a barbecue at McCain's ranch and go with him to the Dairy Delight to pick up some cold cuts for the guests that come to HIS shin digs back on the "Maverick, aka Racist Ranch"…lol! Maverick my foot!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!!!!!

Isn’t it amazing that so many past presidential issues during campaigns rarely matter years later? Are the Democrats making a big deal out of global warming just to play politics and make it the issue of this campaign? Or do they sincerely care about the environment? Further, are they that concerned about the environment that they will let America’s economy and industrial sector falter as they refuse to let more drilling take place? The Democrat’s political games are slowing America’s development and progress, and making us lose jobs. McCain all the way.

McCain couldn't pay that many people to come and here his speak, they would go to sleep, All the HATERS need to take notes.

Obama/08

Trying to keep pace, McDud plans to hold his rally at the St. Paul Auto Zone, where he will give out a free tire gauge to anyone who shows up and can correctly identify Iran and Iraq on a map.

Go bama!Change is coming to America!
Better jobs,peace,well being and prosperity!
Unlike Mcdiapers who needs to change his depends once in a while!

Wow! 75,000 groud in Oregon,an now another 75,000 in Denver! That's 150,000 people in two events! This has never happened in our American History! Than a groud of over 200,000 in Germany! Do you realize that's 350,000 people who has brought together in three events to listen,see him speak? How amazeing is that? How Proud we should be as Americans that we could actually land a President who is so well thought of not only here at home, but around the whole world! Yes, he can!

Did you know most of the U.S. oil comes from Canada? However, you are made to think it comes from the Middle East.

John McCain has been in Office for over 30 years. HE is the one who should be sealing the deal, not Obama.

If you have half a brain, you will see that your life will continue to spiral out of control under the Republicans; they've gotten wealthier while the rest of us are living on the edge. Wake up people!

I can't believe I'm not going to be there. This really is history. My kids will ask me about these days, and I won't be there.

I gotta find a way to go see this guy.

i live in portland and let me tell you that obama was the draw for the 75000. implying that more than, maybe a couple hundred (if that)
would show up for a free Decemberists concert is lunacy

Alex
You poor thing, you are living in a dream world. You are so ignorant. I am yet to read something construtive, just continuing the McCain lies

No Julie, I think you're pretty limited in any support you think you might have with your 'antichrist" beliefs. Millions don't think like you at all. You sound like a rejected, sad person (mental issues?) who needs someone to care about you, maybe something good will happen for you and you won't be so angry and bitter anymore.

LOVE MY USA is HIGH-larious!

You should take that act of crazy on the road!!
C-R-A-Z-Y
C = Confused
R = Racist
A = Angry
Z = Zealot
Y = Because you're SCARED of actual progress

And Alex Rich of Youth for McCain… another joke a minute!
Even the name screams irony!! I am sure you and the three other "youths" for McCain are probably having a great time trying to explain "a google" to your candidate. Please bring Analog John in the 21st Century!

That's right Violet, approximatly 75,000 of them in less than 24 hours.

Choke on that you Republican toadies.

How's Cindy McCain doin' in her Miss Cowchip Beauty Pageant, does she need a 'Tramp Stamp' tattoo for that?

Obama has sold-out?? I'll say!! Not a bit of integrity left in that man.

Just say Nobama '08

The only reason the national polls are close is because of the southern racial states that have huge numbers against Obama. Take out those 4 or 5 southern states known for being racist and Obama numbers are dramatically increased and this is a blowout.

Democrats who haven't been able to get tickets should plan to go to Denver so there can be crowds outside the stadium just to show support. Bring a group of your friends. I think there are a lot more than 75,000 who want to take part in this historic event. Why not turn all of Denver into an Obama fest?

This is the new RNC whisper campaign… why is he only 5% ahead?
Um, if you win the popular vote by 5% in an election it's a freakin Electoral landslide. If he were 12% ahead they'd be saying… well, polls don't mean anything at this point.

Good luck Barry!

And for the Republican convention, they'll be handing out free tickets to McCain's speech like Scientologists on Hollywood Boulevard….

He will feed them all with 7 loaves of bread and 2 fried fish. LOL!!!

YES WE CAN!!!

I hope they have good security there to catch all the lunatic religeous fanatics the Republicans are trying to inflame with the "The One" commercial hinting Obama is the Antichrist.

Nothing is as dangerous as a religeous fanatic, no matter where they hail from.

If any one of these freaks trys something, the Republican party needs to be indicted as a co-conspirator. If not, then it's up to the people to tear the Republican party down and burn it to ashes for what it has done and tried to do to this country.

Everybody loves a winner!

Peter E - Think of all the increase in revenue for the businesses of Denver when all those people are there. That must offset some of the expense of having the convention there. I'm sure they'll all be spending a lot of money.

Julie: Then vote for him and bring on the end of the world. That is what you crazy people want anyway!

Congradulations O, you're the BAM

I heard the republicans were trying to give tickets away to the homeless just so it looks like they have a full crowd in attendance at their convention. Oh, and there's supposed to be a giant inflatable rat sitting outside the rnc convention, a little welcome for Joe Lieberman, should be interesting if you like being ridiculed.

Hey, Julie who "believes in the Bible" — try reading it for a change… instead of spewing your Antichrist nonsense about Obama.

I could list the reasons that Obama is not the Antichrist, but I don't want to confuse any Republicans who claim to believe in a book they don't read…….

Why are so many Americans ignorant?

I wouldn't scoff at Barack's poll numbers Debbie, they don't include calls to a HUGE percent of the Obama base which is people under 25 who are not at home to answer land line phones. I'm sure if Gallop and the other surveyors were to poll (young) cell phone users, then you would see the true lead Barack has over McSame.

Most of us have registered our land line phones to the DO NOT CALL REGISTRY to discourage calls from telemarketers. Seems as if the only folks who would answer phone calls from *unknown number* callers are older, stay at home folks. While I certainly support Barack 100%, I surely dont want to give the Campaign my cellular number PERIOD.

Even with teleprompters and notecards in a grocery store, its hard to keep Mclame on message without him committing some sort of gaffe. Hey Alex R! I'd rather take O's moving oratory over Mclame's feeble attempts at it. Although its true they probably want O back in Chicago, I sure don't want Mclame, the do nothing senator, back in AZ.

reply to debby…just hang in there ya'll see the bandwagon would be so heavy and jam-packed come election day…
God Bless, d' Obamas on their well-deserved vacation!!!!

McCain's acceptance speech at the Golden Corral:

"My friends, you really must try the lime jell-o salad tonight. It's a dandy!"

P, CA August 8th, 2008 12:27 pm ET
About the new McCain ad: the people McCain's pandering to DON'T CARE that he's lying. If you want to live in a dreamland where the status quo is helping,
****************************************************************************To P, CA —- this is the most heartfelt Comment ever …….I have read all kinds …of hate,lies, envy,jealousy etc
This made my day because I was really feeling down due to some personal isssues and realizing how much bitterness there is in America ……Thanks!! you lifted my spirts just because of your honesty
and truthfulness

The only youth for McCain are the "young at heart" seniors who line up for the early bird specials at Dennys. Colorado sure is on board the Change Express 2008 bus.

Too bad the McLame crowd can't get in on the excitement. It would probably give them a heart attack if their jowly candidate got more than a dozen people to show up to the GOP convention. Maybe Cheney and McOld can compare pacemakers.

If all he people in Orgeon went to see the band and not Obama, why does no one know the name of the band?

The polls aren't braking away because the pollers don't call me or any one else who ONLY has a cell phone and the McCain people are sitting next to their rotary telephones waiting for some one to call.

Obama 08

This is just more stagecrafting to show the world he cares more about himself than the people of this country. I prefer a more humble President than one who has to put on a show!

I'll buy anyones ticket when it turns out that Hillary will really be making this speech instead of Obama.

Wake up everyone! It is not too late to save this election and nominate Hillary!

Clinton/McCain August 8th, 2008 12:36 pm ET
The bias continues…
"Obama's largest event to date was in Portland, Oregon, in May, where he drew an estimated crowd of approximately 75,000."
He made a campaign stop where a free rock concert was being performed by a well known band. Obama did not attract 75,000 people.
_+____________________________________+_______________
wow…your comment makes no sense given the fact that THIS event IS sold out and still MANY people want to go.
@Alex Rich - Youth For McCain in 08… McCain has been fumbling over the same tired speech for a long time now…you would think that a man, saying the SAME thing over and over and over again would at least take the time to memorize the speech….McCain still fumbling over his Que cards…does McCain have the memory to lead? no
LOVE MY USA? you sound like hannity…what is YOUR USA?

they can have him.

McCain will be PAYING people to show up. Especially anyone under 55.

What is McCain's record number of people at any of his rallys?

Julie,

One more thing. Your Republican President Ronald Reagan was also considered the Anti-Christ because he has six letters in each of his name, first, middle and last name. How ridiculous is that… Just as ridiculous as what you and those who think like you are saying about Obama.

… according to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center's analysis of both candidates' proposed plans, Obama would cut taxes for those making in the range of $38,000 to $66,000 three to almost eight times more than McCain would.

YEAH!!!! CAUSE THE BAROCKSTAR IS IN TOWN!!!!!!! GO OBAMA! ROCK EM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08/12

If each person who is voting Democrat in the November election brings 2 others to vote Democrat with them, McCain "McBush" will be buried under the avalanche.

McCain = two time LOSER!

WOW sold out in a day!

Remember when looking at the polls they do not call cell phones and that makes a big difference. Sold out 75,000 tickets in a day says a lot.

Notice the McShame fans still don't talk about the issues.

You wanna see a poll, check out the comments on this page!
Obama is blowing the old tired white man away!!!

Seems like people like Obama. They don't like McCoot

HATERS, HATERS, HATERS…..way to go obama '08. I would give anything to be in attendance.

Julie,

I believe in the Bible. I believe that the original Scripture is without error. Your comment sounds as if you have not read it yourself to understand the character of the Anti-Christ or his timing on the earth. I suggest that you, yourself, read it allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal to you 'the' truth and cease being used by the enemy of your soul to instil fear in others like yourself who depend on others to interpret its meaning .

Change is coming to the United States of America in 2008. The polls would be a landslide to the shock of many. Many people's heart would fail them at the results of this election.

Watch it. I told you so! (smile)

I got my ticket a total of 100 ppl are coming with me as well !!! Wohooo Here we go Obama to support you %100 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the American People want change some of us our tried of the Lying and Corrupt Republicans and if John Mccain is elected we will be sorry because Mccain is the same as Bush and his corruptions.

that is the sadest news ever. I have been waiting for the announcement. I will be 75001 outside the stadium. I have taken a day off already.

Julie August 8th, 2008 12:49 pm ET said: Makes me believe even more related to the TIME article, that maybe for those of us who believe in the Bible, that Obama is the antichrist. Pretty sure CNN won't allow this comment but there are millions more like me who think the same way.

First of all ANYONE who thinks that is an idiot. Now, I try hard not to name call but if you SERIOUSLY believe Obama is the Anti-Christ, you're an idiot. You can believe he's a Muslim (which is borderline), you can believe he's a socialist (still on the fence of idiocy), but to say he is the actual Devil… you have to be kidding me. I do not believe there are millions out there who believe that because most of us have common sense. Are these the same people who say he's a Muslim and he hates white people? It seems to be the same gene pool.

Clinton/McCain August 8th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

**********

To Clinton/McCain…

You know, I like The Decemberists myself, but if you believe that 75,000 people showed up in Oregon for a concert by THAT band, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you.

LOVE MY USA

Your screed is long on hyperbole, but devoid of facts

Congratulations on learning how to cut and paste though

I wish I could be there!!!!

history in the making!!!! GO OBAMA GO!!!!!

I'm bumbed I won't be there. Its going to be an historical event! God bless Obama and his family. I was waiting for the tickets to be available, I didn't know they were on sale. Dang!! Its going to be a fabulous event!! WOW!!!!

Obama '08/'12

AS A YELLOW DOG DEMOCRAT WHO "used to believe" in the DNC, you couldn't pay me to attend this stupid convention. I am ashamed of the DNC and I am even more ashamed of those who support this wolf in sheeps clothing!
You people will support whom-ever the DNC "selects".
Some of us see thru this guise of deciet and distrust and lies.
Too bad….
Go ahead, elect him and see what a mess he makes…wonder where his radical friends will fit in, hmmnnn where will Racist Wright be? I mean "Rev" Wright…

Maybe the seats were sold to republicans who won't show up and the staduim will end up empty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he attracted 215,000 people in berlin!

I am hoping that the PUMA's and related groups who all so NOBAMA have clusters of seats together for our protest.

Obama is a loser. He is not ready to lead!

Of course it is sold out. Same old stunt that he did during the caucauses . He sends out his surrgoates who give all these welfare receipents and college kids money to purchase the tickets and then will provide free transportation. Why do you think he could win more caucauses then he could state elections where people had to come out and vote. The answer is quite simple. His people went out on the streets and into the poor parts of towns and the colleges and gave them money to attend these caucauses. Of course the welfare people came because it was easy money, didn't have to work, the strret people and panhandlers came for the same reason. As far as the college kids , the far left liberals came probably on their own screwed up accord and the rest came to get out of school and to drugs and party. You can have all these large groups that you want to try showboating and with the medias help try to portray to the american people that you are the great one but it won't fly that is the reason he will not win the general election.

I called Wed. afternoon late, just after the info. came out, and gave them my information. So maybe I'm on the list. I sure hope so. I've already got hotel rooms booked.

I hope that the American public can sift through the hate coming out of McCain's camp and see McCain for what he really is - a fearmongering, hateful, lying, grasping shell of a man who is selling his soul to get to the White House. And for those of you who believe in the Bible, do you actually read the Bible? Or do you just repeat what you hear. I agree completely with P, CA. Especially about vetting McCain this time around. He's at the end of his career and not fit for the job of President now. All the mudslinging should be a wake up call for people but apparently they take it as fact. Please check your facts people and don't listen to the hype or the headlines. You'll be doing us all a big favor.

I love the Decembrists, but they're not a band that can pull in 75,000 people on their own. They play that area all the time in much smaller venues. The band's appearance, which apparently wasn't well-advertised ahead of time, wasn't responsible for the turnout. Nor was the fact that it was a sunny day and people hang out on the waterfront all the time. I mean, I'm sure they do, but not 75,000 people. 75,000 came to see Barack Obama. If it had been raining, it probably would have been less, but, still. They came to see Obama. The warmup act was a bonus.

And the Oregon crowd wasn't Obama's largest event to date. The 200,000 in Berlin was. The story should clarify that it's his largest event in America or largest campaign event to date.

MCSHAME NEVER OBAMA FOREVER
OBAMA2008

Wow!!!!!!! Congratulation Senator Barack Obama for bringing so much excitement in this campaign. Everybody wants to see you and you are truely a gift from God. We are all proud of you and wish you well. May God continue to bless you and your family!

can he TALK WITHOUT teleprompters.. just because oprah creation him

LOL @ Len in Washington :o})

There will probably be over 100K people in there. Be careful Dumocrats who are in the front…you might get bum rushed by the star struck "fans" of "The One".

I can hardly beleive he will be live in concert…oh I mean live giving a speech to all the world to see.

Alex Rich - Youth For McCain in 08

jealous because mccain had a ADD a third teleprompter and still can't get through a coherent sentence? ever wonder why?

A: the fascist GOP LIE machine writes mcsame's speeches — Obama wirtes his own!

you get FIVE mccain web points, neverhtless - way to go!
um… i hear the mcbush flage lapel pin is just dreamy

SO WHAT!

Everybody is forgetting that in Portland, the said 75,000 people were not necessarily coming to see Obama, there was a concert going on, so a lot of those DID NOT come to see Obama, but rather came to see the concert instead.

I would not waste my money to see Obama! Now if it were Hillary Clinton, that would be a different story. She is the one that should be the nominee and not Obama!

Clinton/Obama 2008

republicans are getting nasty cuz they know they are on their way out.obama is uniting the rest of us for a better future.

self rightous, pompous, holier than thou fool this man is.

…and to Julie and Alex Rich, you two need to get a life. Perhaps a room together where you can cheer on McSame.

So much for the average Joe getting in to see the Messiah..

@Clinton/McCain
"The bias continues…" I guess the 200,000 in attendance were there for a concert as well, who was playing? And which "well known" band played in Portland. Hillary lost, get over it!

P'CA, Four of the Keating Five were Democrats. The only ones found GUILTY were three of the four Democrats. John Glenn(D) and John McCain were found innocent. Why is McCain's divorce any of anyone's business. If Clinton can commit adultery in the Oval Office and still be worshipped by you Dems, a divorce 30 years ago should mean nothing. Obama has not been vetted, because he has no record to vet. Half his votes in the IL Senate were 'present'. Vet that.

I hope this rock star brings his band with him to the stadium.

love my usa and pumas: (What? No imbecile signaling caps?)

Please stay under your rocks until your single brain cell multiplies and deems you fit for the human race and the ability to form a coherent thought or idea worthy of discussion in a public forum. You sound more and more like McCain everyday but are just more capable of using a computer and caps lock.

OBAMA / WETHEPEOPLE '08

McCain flow into New Hampshire airport and was greeted by just "1″ reporter. He went to his town hall meeting and was greeted again by a half full gym. McCain your boreing! All you do is attack Obama and then you put everyone to sleep. You couldn't fill the convention hall - if it weren't for the GOP conventioneers you would hear crickets. You inspire no one.
Obama is fresh, exciting and delivers hope and a real sense of change. He was right about Iraq and a time table, now bush is doing what he said. He was right on Afganistan and look at what bush is trying to do now! He was right on engaging Iran in negotiations and now you see the US opening a diplomatic mission there.
Good judgement vs erratic judgement.
Vote for Obama for a little sanity for a change!

thats a hole lot of Hillary supporters

How About it Repugs and Puma's?

You think there will be a free concert before the acceptance speech…e.g. the reason for a stadium full of people? No…no …they couldn't be there to hear an inspiring speech from the "world famous empty suit"

I have to repeat my candidates toughest response to your petty and childish attacks….You people take pride in being ignorant"

As to Obama in the polls…they all mean ZIP! Ask a dozen people a question an go around the corner and ask another dozen an the answers are different. Those 75000 at the stadium are some of the REAL 18 million supporters of his. Not the made up one's of you know who:)

God, do I wish I could be there!

[CNN Thanks for posting]
I´m really sick of this. John McCain is crying foul to the press, but he ignores they're giving him a free ride by not bringing to public light all of his past mistakes (Keating 5, Dumped disfigured-former-wife-for a-richer-younger-blonde-girl, SongBird, not-brilliant-student, constant-flip-flopping-and-gaffes anyone?) while Obama is getting vetted even for the most stupidiest thing that anyone can come up with. Talk about public society and media bias. Shame on you, America! Should you keep it going the way it is, I won't be surprised that we will watch you going down in flames if you put a man like John McCain in office! I just hope the fool, brown-nose of a president we got here in my country won't join McCain when he decides to start WWIII. Jesus, God help us all!!!

Clinton/McCain August 8th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

Oh sorry, nevermind, as I heard about the same thing in Germany. Boy they sure do have a lot of rock concerts before he speaks don't they.

What is it with all of these people complaining about obamas success? He earned it fair and square. What a sorry bunch of losers you are!

Clinton/McCain August 8th, 2008 12:36 pm ET

The bias continues…

"Obama's largest event to date was in Portland, Oregon, in May, where he drew an estimated crowd of approximately 75,000."

He made a campaign stop where a free rock concert was being performed by a well known band. Obama did not attract 75,000 people.
____________________________

Which well known band would that be? I didn't hear of any band, my brother who is stationed in Germany didn't hear of a band. Could you please inform the less informed.

Thank you in advance

Perhaps Debbie the polls are wrong, get about it.

Julie,
There are two antichrist on earth: one George W. Bush, the second the ring leader of the PUMA gang!!!!!!!

"Obama's largest event to date was in Portland, Oregon, in May, where he drew an estimated crowd of approximately 75,000."

What, the crowd of 200,000 fanatic Germans in Berlin doesn't count? Oh, I forgot - that "wasn't a campaign event". Right.

So what? Mr. Ego in a suit got fed again. I've been a Democrat all my life and this is the first time I have ever been ashamed of it. I'll be sitting home in November. Obama is runing on ego and rhetoric. Didn't we get enough of that with Bush??

Another three point shot. It's OBAMA Time!

THE TICKETS WERE FREE!!!!! Democrats, Republicans & Independents alike were welcome to submit requests for tickets.

Just so that you know there was NO concert scheduled. This is about the "people" taking back their government!

Hey "LOVE MY USA",

Your ignorance and cowardice is showing.

We all know GOP =

G Gas
O Oil
P Petroleum

As for hatred & racism, you can sink in the same ship with Rush, Savage, Hannity and the rest.

I didn't expect anything less from Barack Obama…the Flamboyant.

FIRED UP, READY TO VOTE, OBAMA YES!

This turnout doesn't match the poll results.
What went wrong?

Pompous imposter…………………………………and I don't think Billary is done making his life miserable.

Vote McCain or join the insane.

I just purchase OBAMA speeches from his website and received it yesterday. Oh, the chills I get when I watch the 2004 speach, I am sure he will rise to the occasion as he has often does. There is no White America, No Black America, No Red, No Blue, Just the United States of America! Yes we can, the dawn of a New Era, a new American Union for a New American Century!

OBAMA,..BARACK THE VOTE! FIRED UP….RTEADY TO VOTE!

Wow…. now let's HEAR the "Obama Haters" whine about this TRUE FACT.

Here' s the question to the McLame supporters? Can YOUR candidate say the same thing and attract 75,000+ supporters in one stadium? Harley Davidson Bikers didn't even GO to him, he WENT to them, all 50,000 worth. And then what does he do? He' offer's his wife up in a beauty contest! ha! ha!

Make any EXCUSE you want, the facts have proven themselves. I'd rather support what McCain call's a "celebrity" than a OLD, BORING and OUT OF TOUCH GROUCHY MAN who doesn't even KNOW HOW to use the internet! Yikes!!! How can YOU be President and NOT be tech savvy? My 3 year old grandson is MORE tech savvy than OLD WHITE HAIR "DUDE".

John McBoring will be glad just to fill up a supermarket parking lot!!!

McCain will accept his party's nomination in the "Cheese" section at your nearest grocery store…

Alex Rich - Youth For McCain
Very few politicians give speeches withoug teleprompters. McCain does not use one because HE IS SO OLD HE CAN'T SEE IT!!!!

VOTE OBAMA!

Alex Rich - Youth For McCain in 08 - fortunately most of the youth today are enlightened thinkers and voting for Obama. Too bad a person like you wouldn't have the character to give up a lucrative career to care enough to be a community organizer but then your a repuglican and could care less about your fellow man.

I'm sure McNasty will spin this into more celebrity junk that he is trying to peddle. I live in a heavily Republican area and some are not going to even bother voting for McCain. They know what an idiot he is. On August 28 McSenile, cry me a river. Let President Obama show you how it's done.

Obama/Sebelius 2008/2012.

Debby you sound ignorant! The fact that John McCain cannot poll better proves this election is over. OBAMA just have to wait 2.5 months to be elected, because that is how we do things here. MSM is manipulating the numbers, then again people like me who have two cell phones and no land lines can't be polled….that is like over 100 million Americans and we are white, young, black, hispanic and very focus. Trust me, OBAMA wins this with 368 ECV and about 56% Majority Vote. everyone wants to be on the right side of History, trust me! OBAMA will historic win will allow a female to be elected in 2016, an Asian or a Hispanic soon after and then America will surely look and feel like a nation to be proud of. For 230 years all we had is white male leader's, we can and should do better. Yes, if not OBAMA then who? Race is still an issue, however he is NOT RUNNING because he is black, he is running because he proves he can lead and lead with INTEGRITY! We have been doped for far too long, the Presidency has become a Good Ole Boy's club and it needs to end!

OBAMA-CLINTON, OBAMA-HAGEL, OBAMA-GORE, OBAMA-RICHARDSON, OBAMA-POWELL, OBAMA-SINSEKI, OBAMA-JONES-OBAMA-CLARKE, OBAMA-KENNEDY, OBAMA-BIDEN

The choices are endless for a Democratic President, CONGRESS DEMS 394, SENATE, 63, this is CHANGE we can believe in!

GOOD LUCK BARACK OBAMA….CONTINUE TO MAKE HISTORY

KEEP THE HATERS HATING CAUSE THAT'S ALL THEY DO IS HATE…….

real man with good intention. Moveon Obama

That's right, Debby. 75,000 people from across the US bought up tickets within 24 hours to go to some "opening act" band (that no one knows about right now) in Colorado that just happens to be on the same night Obama give his acceptance speech. Yeah, right. How do those sour grapes taste, anyway?

Julie who refers to Obama as the antichrist, says that there are millions more like her. They are commonly known as racists spewing hate-filled filth to divide our country along racial and socio-economic lines. She is right on one point, and that is that he is the ONE to bring peace, justice, respect and concern for others back to our country.

March 1933

Twenty-five thousand people jump to their feet. The “Heil, Hitler,” shout is overwhelming.

Hitler begins in a calm, deep voice, which gets louder and louder, higher and higher. He loses his calmness and trembles in his excitement. In the beginning of his speech his arms are folded and he seems hunched up, but when he is carried away he stretches out his arms and he seems to grow in stature.

He attacks the rulers of Germany in the past fourteen years. The applause is tremendous. He accuses them of corruption. Another round of enthusiasm. He appeals for the union of Nationalism with Socialism. He calls for the end of clas warfare. When he shouts, “The future belongs to the young Germany which has arisen,” the 25,000 hearers leap to their feet, stretch out their right hands and roar: “Heil, Hitler!

August 2008

Seventy-five thousand people jump to their feet. The “Yes,we can - Yes, we can” shout is overwhelming.

Obama begins in a calm, deep voice, which gets louder and louder, higher and higher. He loses his calmness and trembles in his excitement. In the beginning of his speech his arms are folded and he seems hunched up, but when he is carried away he stretches out his arms and he seems to grow in stature.

He attacks the administration of the past eight years. The applause is tremendous. He accuses them of corruption. Another round of enthusiasm. He appeals for the union of Nationalism with Socialism. He calls for the end of clas and race warfare. When he shouts, “The future belongs to the young America which has arisen,” the 75,000 hearers leap to their feet, stretch out their right hands and roar: “Obama, Obama!"

I with you "Julie"

The same Koolaid drinkers who voted for Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004 are voting for Bambi. We heard this all before. Fact is, Bambi is all hat and no cattle. Hillary said it correctly, "John McCain is a seasononed statesman and Obama gave a speech in 2002." Take away the teleprompter and Bambi is just another ultra liberal politician witout any ideas who won't win more then 10 states.

Bet no one here can name 5 things that Bambi will do to help this country. Heck, Paris Hilton has a better energy plan then Bambi.

I'm one of those who is just a little skeptical about all this. Proof will be in the pudding as they say.

Personal to LOVE MY USA:

You are exactly what's wrong with this country!

Isn't it time to iron your white sheet?!

to Chester drawers and Angie….
I would not be so quick to insult "old
people" as YOU will be one soon…or the VFW….as thanks to the VETERANS you are able to speak your disgusting words

democrat turned REPUBLICAN, thanks to Pelosi, Kennedy, the democratic congress AND OBAMA

By all means get everyone there who supports oshama. Terrorists groups, leaders of Iran and North Korea. They want a weaker US so by all means let them in and give them speaking roles.

Julie, if there are millions more like you, then this country doesn't deserve to be saved. You extremists are no better than terrorists. Two sides of the same coin, just different religions.

Let's see. You need to pay to see the convention speech. In an Obama adminstration, the State of the Union address will probably be on pay-per-view.

The joke continues….

Go ahead- blame this one on a concert.

We need a bigger stadium!!!!!!!!! I already have permission to be off work and I WANT TO GO!!!

LOVE MY USA … what the heck is this clown thinking in his posting?

Appears to be a bigotted, biased, neo-con to me. We have had enough of those idiots. If we let them stay in power one minute longer we will have walls built around the US, the world hating us, live in a fascist state with no more constitutional rights, and gestapo on every block searching everyone's homes each evening to ensure all 'laws' are being followed.

Get a clue. Your time is over. And, it's about time

you freaking haters! that is all you are good at is hating, and creating hate!

just cause your guy can't draw flies…

Obama the Holloywood star!! I guess the Paris Hilton - Spears ad was right on target hey sweeties.

I hope "LOVE MY USA" is being kept away from firearms and sharp objects…

McCain couldn't sell out a high school gym.

Of course it's sold out. None of Obama's disciples wants to miss the space ship that's going to rendevous with the comet.

Will he (or for that matter CNN and MSNBC, the all Obama, all the time networks) say anything about John Edwards, the sure jumped quick on the Republican scandals. This one has been brewing for three weeks without a mention by the liberal press and networks.

This makes me think of the Left Behind Series plus Revelations from the Bible—Obama may "dooed it " and many will be duped. You can fool some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time.

The bitter, whacko PUMA people recently compared Obama to Adolf Hitler becaues he was holding his speech in a large stadium.

Never mind that JFK did the same thing 48 years ago.

Real Democrats are going to march to victory in November.

To all the people who ask "Why isn't Obama leading?"

Just want to remind you he has been leading by several points all summer. A lead is a lead.

Who's the opening band?

Forecast is for rain and Hillary supporters. Enjoy Barack. Time the election rolls around no one will remember what was said anyways; especially those outside of the West Coast or Mountain time zones. zzzzzzz

The Republicans and biased press corps have been touting that Obama cannot put McCain away and usse as evidence the poll numbers indicating his supposed inadequacy here, as if to say they need to be hugely disparate to support Obama's contention of the support he continues to see, as opposed to the meager crowds and numbers McCain pulls.

The fact is that a mere 5% to 6% separation in the polls will easily translate into an electoral landslide of well over 300 electoral college votes in the election.

Once again, misrepresent the truth coming from the poor Republicans who are now running with their tails between their legs, ignoring the obvious, and biting, scractching, and clawing to be heard.

NICE job BHO! In a large 75,000 seat stadium you won't hear all the BOOs from Hillary supporters as you would have in the arena, which will already be half full with her supporters.

McCain 08
Hillary 12

Bunch of drinkers; This guy thinks he's King. sickening.

I am furious! They never responded to my inquiry about how to get tickets. I was planning to go. I think there should have been a lottery type system to ensure that everyone had a chance. I am still so excited about the possibility of going!

Hey people, try this simple exercise - in your mind paint Obama's face white, give him straight hair and then see if you would be willing to listen to him and could you still call him some of the sickening names you come up with. I love the empty suit one because that empty suit is a Constitutional Law Scholar, was a Illinois Senator for 8 yrs and a US Senator for 3.

Whats the reason for that this time Rush Limbaugh? How will you spin it this time McPhony? This is not a free concert people so how do you losers explain it this time. Destiny is at hand people

To "Love my USA":

Are you seeing a therapist for your anger? Stop listening to Limbaugh and Hannity and stop watching Fox News. Check out the candidates at their websites.

Obama is not a celebrity, in the Hollywood sense, but his campaign is historic. And if I hear one more person talk about "Antichrist" I am going to puke. Let's grow up and approach this election as adults, please.

GO OBAMA !!!!

Sold out? How much were they going for? The last I heard Obama was giving them away to his supporters. This is another tall Tale by the Dem party, tickets were not sold they were handed out. Otherwise why is there a list of people for the people that don't show up. Read between the lines people. I would LMAO if H. Clinton won the nomination for the party.

Gosh Americans are dumb. These are the same people that elected Bush Twice. 2000 American made a mistake, we realized this right away and we wanted change. we stood tall and strong for CHANGE but the GOP scared the life out of us with "They Hate Us For Our Freedom" and we made the same mistake again. The man that has openly said he knows nothing about the economy and Drill Here, Drill There and Drill Now is going to Win. By this time I'm sure China will be the power house to knock America of it's throne. Just maybe than we will get our act together. If Omaba was a White man with these common sanes Ideas, he would Win this election with a great margin. CNN NO BULL NO BIAS IS ALL BULL and FOX is full of their own opinion no fact. these news media twist fact just to have big headlines. God Bless America Because it's going to hell

Sorry Obama America is not ready for you, not ready to use comon sanes.

I wonder how many of the 20,000 - 30,000 expected protesters bought tickets????

RE: LOVE MY USA, I like the scorpion and the frog tale, It is about lime the American people wake up to the fact that the Rebugs will lie to get 51.001% of the vote and then act against the interest of the vast majority of Americans.

I have read your cute play on words before and I sincerely hope that by the time you finish high school that you actually take some time to read a little about current events before you blast your silly comments over the Internet.

Enjoy it Rock Star! This last stand will give you an entré into show business!

You will never be president.

I cant believe people still vote for Nadar. The guy is washed up. Your vote for Nader is meaningless. You might as well not vote. Evren voting for Bob Barr makes much more sense than Nader.

Which musicians did they book!!!???? that is the only reason people will be going…free concert and tons of booze…duh

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

CNN why do all my comments need to await moderation. I am not using foul or obscene language.

I WONDER HOW MANY WILL BE UNDERNEATH THE STANDS MOUTHING FOUR LETTER WORDS.

Dear Shari, its August and its about 2 weeks to the DNC convention and a little over 2 months to the election yes polls matter now being so close. Obama can't get a double digit lead on McCain now how will he do it in 2 months with all their issues proposed to us already????????? The undecided might not take a chance with Obama and they are the ones who will elect the next President not the die hard Obama supporters who will vote for him anyway.

hey debbie, WHAT'S FUNNY IS THAT MCSHAME WHO HAS BEEN IN WASHINGTON FOR 30+ YRS. IS NOT LEADING PRESIDEN BARACK OBAMA, NOW GO FIGURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE MAIN REASON OBAMA POLLS ARE NOT UP IS BECASUE OF HILLIARY AND SOME OF HER SUPPORTERS THAT ARE HOLDING OUT BECASUE HILLIARY STILL THINKS SHE IS THE WIN THE NOM!
Remember her base is uneducated white women and you have to give them time to figure out the Hilliary have lost.

I guess Charleton Heston will be making a comeback.

This is exactly how Adolph Hitler came to power in a free, democratic (Democratic???) election.

Chester Drawers:
McCain's acceptance speech will be in front of 50 rabid AARP members at the Golden Corral.

You made me laugh so hard I cried! Hillarious.

McCain/08

The United States' 44th president - Mr. Barack Obama - will officially accept the Democratic Presidential Nomination that will lead him to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Oh my what an enjoyable time !

It's time for REAL change in Washington, it's time to elect Barack Obama for president !

Isaiah 54:17 (King James Version)
No weapon that is formed against [ Barack obama, his campaign, his presidency, his family ] thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against [ Barack obama, his campaign, his presidency, his family ] thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Amen.

The 42 PUMA rebugs who say they are going to attend need to tread lightly in that stadium as the 74,958 Obama supporters who will attend may not be as congenial as Obama to a traitor in their mist.

75,000 people, hah!

"My friends", I plan to speak loud enough to wake up the people at my convention. I may even throw in a lie or two (he he, "thumbs up").

I may be old and boring, and maybe even a little stupid; but I can come up with more one word solutions for our problems than anybody (scary grin……..)

Those who supports Obama, wants a change. We are tired of bush/cheney/mccain/gop by laws. The loss of jobs by the thousands, rising fuel cost, health plans out of control, hard working citizens lossing their homes, public schools in mayhem. Hopefully this party will do it's best for the american people. With the attendances of 75 thousands, we certainly need a change in leadership.
