The lines were long early in the day to get into Invesco Field (Mathieu Young/CNN)
Denver (CNN) - Charlie Dominguez is spending his 47th birthday standing in line at Invesco Field hoping he will be able to count a ticket to Sen. Barack Obama's Thursday night acceptance speech among his birthday gifts.
"It's just to be close," Dominguez said. "Everybody's electrified. I want a chance for the glimpse, ya know?"
Dominguez, who hails from traditionally-red Kansas, said he was always a registered Republican until this year when he switched his registration to Democratic.
Watch live shots of Invesco Field on CNN.com/live!
A few ticket-holders and would-be attendees arrived at Invesco Field by 9 a.m. By noon, the line for entrance included roughly a thousand people, a reporter estimated.
The campaign expects roughly 75,000 people in attendance when Obama officially accepts the Democratic presidential nomination.

.....for the greatest show on earth!!!!!!!!
It is a historic night. I just cannot believe it will happen. This country will never cease to amaze me.
It's a shame the DNC took it away from Hillary. And it's a shame that Obama will lose to McCain.
Hillary 2012
8)
*)
GO OBAMA....
"I HAVE A DREAM"-MLK...
WISH MLK WAS AROUND TO SEE HISTORY BEING MADE.....
As a disappointed Democrat, I cannot stomach any of the orchestrated crap televised from Denver...
It's very sad when a voter has to decide between the lesser of two evils. That's McCain for me, with hopes for Hillary in 2012.
God HELP America...
Would prefer the Clintons, but will be voting Obama for sure.
Really hope he hands out band aids with the slogan 'This is John McCain's health care plan' printed on them!
What can I say, I have never heard so many lies in this last year from
so many people.
Obama has opened a solid lead against JMc according to the latest Gallup daily Poll: Gallup Tracking 08/25 – 08/27 2723 RV 48 42 Obama +6 THE GOP FEAR MACHINE shall fail this year!!
I'm not electrified.
McKinney '08
An historic evening no matter who you are for in this race. America has come a long way.
If it were a little more convenient I would be there too, Obama 08, by the way I hope McCain pics Mcrumsfield for vp they will be perfect for each other...............GO OBAMA................
So is Grampy McCain't going to give us a tutorial on adult diaper changing while trying to steal the limelight from Mr. Obama? McCain acts just like a deprived, tantrumy two-year-old minus the intelligence, honesty, wonder and curiosity.
can not wait!!
I am very proud of my my White Brothers and Sisters who have gave Obama this chance! All of you that support him and are color blind will be blessed.
God Bless You All!
45 years to the day....
this.... is.... a..... GREAT..... country!
I'm thrilled for Obama and the American people and wish I could be there.
Boy it feels good to be an American.
Anyone, from anywhere, can do anything!
Barack and Hillary have truly blessed us and our children.
What a nice day!!
IS GOING TO BE A GREAT NIGHT!!! CANT WAIT!!
GO OBAMA GO!!!
A Presidental first...................an OBAMAPALOOZA!!!!!!!!!!!!
please focus on issues. McCain’s health advisor said today that we can go to emergency rooms for healthcare so we are all covered. If obama’s people had said that, this would be the end of a campaign. Please report this VERY BIG news. VERY BIG!!!
A fantastic convention. History is being made tonight!
It is so awesome that for the first time in history, a political convention is including average Americans and not just the privileged few. Obama is keeping his promise to open the government up to the people. My prayers are with him tonight.
I hope Obama jumps on the McCain team's egregiously stupid announcement that everybody in the US has health insurance by means of abusing hospital emergency rooms. They're trying to float the proposition that health care isn't a real issue, and the Democrats should crush them for it.
McCain supporters can't even fill up a football field. Early signs of a landslide in November.
Obama/Biden 08
Mccain's response to his advisors health care proposal.
Hey back in prison Mccain had no ER room. My friends, it's ok, I've felt your pain, I was captured once, now I am rich. I was against Bush's tax cuts once, now I am rich though, and so are my kids, so hey, the less people recieving healthcare, the less the line for me and my family. My friends, you will be rich someday soon too, hang in there, let me and my advisors set you on the right course my friends. I am a POW.
McCain's planned tactics tonight are pure Karl Rove!
Bill Maher said it best on Leno's show last night. Obama is a big star, causing a lot of interest and excitement and playing a huge outdoor venue. McCain is a lounge act with Gary Puckett & The Union Gap opening for him!
Well said!!!
well there's ONE reason I can think of that McWar will win this election:
Isn't 2012 supposed to be "the endof the world as me know it lol"? If that's true than McSame WOULD BE poised to win. And a lot of those "born again err..christians" in our neighborhood are aching for it anyway.
I am sure McShame would lead us there just in time.
Have the talking heads arrived so they can blither on during the speeches and performances?? CNN's coverage of this campaign has been horrible. When was it more important to hear what a bunch of overpaid talking heads think rather than letting voters actually hear the speeches?? Way too much subjective media interference in this election.
Instead why don't you go out and do some objective reporting on where the candidates stand on the issues instead of whining and complaining that the public doesn't know where they stand??
PBS and CSPAN are the only way to watch it unencumbered with the silly, outdated, pompous CNN staff!!
I'm proud of America! We have come a long way
I pray that God will Bless and protect the Obamas and the Bidens in this election cycle and many years to come.
I know that this speech will be one for the history books. this is going to be an electrifying night!!!
Lord this is our time!!!!!!
God Bless Barack Obama and Joe Biden and God Bless the United States of America.
History has been made. Let's get behind Obama, so history will be made again when he is elected president.America has come a long way.
Isn't great when the AMERICAN PEOPLE are participating in the process - engaged, active as democracy intended. The people are the power.
this is so exciting. From slaves to leaders of the free world.
I'm starting to get excited.
After tonight I hope the Dems take note of the Republican pot shots throughout their convention and respond tenfold next week.
This is HISTORY in the making !!! Unlike the Republican's... TONIGHT will go in the History books for the next 500 years. This will rank as one of the greatest moments in American History. We now need everyone's votes in Nov. YES WE CAN !!! WE all hear the needs and desperation of our American Family. We are one !!!
All this excitement and over the top celebration will do nothing but make it worse when Obama loses. Do they think this partying makes a difference? The only people who go to these things or watch it all on TV are people who knew they were going to vote for a Democrat months ago. It's a shame to see money wasted like this.
awesome! I can't wait to watch the speech tonight. It's going to be historic!
Skip cable news channels and ignore McCain's "historic" ad....he is such a jerk to outstage Obama on such a historic day in American history. What an irreverent "patriot" he is.
Watch CSPAN
ps- dare to post me, CNN!! Nothing offensive here, just the truth.
I only hope for america this smooth talker with no experience gets no farther than than this nomination. Really people sit down and look what he's done, the man is a wonderful speaker...thats about it.
Four more years with McCAIN is IN VAIN, INSANE and will bring much more PAIN.
This is so exciting! Can't wait! :*)
I wish I was there to watch it LIVE : (
GET YOUR DVR READY....THIS IS HISTORIC!!!
It doesn't matter whether you are a republican or a democrat, you have to admit – noone thinks this will ever happen.. and might as well, never happen again.
I really had to leave the health care post. I am not excited about OBAMA but I rather have health care than a wrist band. -
PUMAS UNITE
OBAMA THIS TIME
HILLARY / BILL 12
superstar obama is using the same theatrical staging that britney spears uses when she is on tour. mccain was correct, he is the "one". maybe jlo, ben affleck, and oprah could sing a song too. this empty suit, thin resume, terrorist friendly excuse for a candidate is pathetic. can't wait till mccain wins!
Obama supporters. I get you are excited. But I hope that the posts I see on these stories don't represent the true spirit of the majority of you. John McCain has a documented history of repeatedly standing by his convictions when to do so would hurt him physically or politcally.
Measure him up against Mr Obama and his record and what he has done in his life to match the rheteric you will hear tonight. If you still believe he is the best one to represent your values , great.
I for one hope that I will always be "connected" to the kind of courage John McCain has shown. But please, it really sickens me to hear the hateful words that berate someone who spent 5 yrs in a hell hole by choice out of love and honor for his country...our country... your country.
Bill
WISH I WAS THERE!!!
Obama 08!
Congrates Obama!!!!! It was a long rough road, but that makes it that much sweeter.
You better dig in, because the Rep. will be bring every dirty trick know to man. They will be counting on the ignorance of the american people to win the election with their ads. God speed!!
Congrate Hillary!!!! You did an awsome job too. I'm sure you will get another chance. And you can count me in for a vote. Thanks
YES, YES, YES. GO OBAMA, GO OBAMA........A CHANGE IS GONNA COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
I am disgusted by that Obama messaih poster's remark in that Mccain health care article. He compare's live's and desease's to cars, to hunks of metal, to house insurance, to hunks of wood. This is the mentality of some of these twisted republicans.
We had better hope that BO wins this election, or any of us who don't make at least $1M will be SOL.
And I love how the McCain campaign is scrambling to disavow John Goodman, the advisor who made the comment that there are no uninsureds in the U.S. He is president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, a right-leaning Dallas-based think tank and helped craft Sen. John McCain's health care policy.
I'm going to bet that we hear that Mr. Goodman doesn't speak for John McCain, just like John McCain doesn't speak for John McCain.
Oh, and then to boot, Putin confirmed what many suspected – the Georgian conflict was started by Georgia in an attempt to paint McCain in a favorable light for the election. I believe Putin a heckuva lot more than I believe anything that comes out of the slimy GOP.
Stage looks like something Cesar would address his subjects from. And he is only a presidential candidate. One can only imagine what kind of stage he would speak from if President. Kind of makes me think of those ads McCain ran about "The One".
Why not just a simple platform befitting the common man? Humm?
I am so excited and proud of Senator Obama! Congratulations also to Senator Biden! And a word to all you hard to die Senator Clinton supporters: 'We are all very proud of Senator Clinton. She ran a good race; but its over for her now but her career is not over, remember, she's still a Senator; we need her on the floor...I encourage you to follow her lead and let's move on to win in the fall! '
A Big FAKE Show for the Show Horse!
We need a Work Horse in the White House!
8 years of an ego manic without substance are enough!
McCain 08
Hey Terry, don't you feel like ...ALONE in your comments?
I can't wait to see this. It will be a night to remember and something to tell your children , grandchildren great grands.
Speaking of jealousy, does anyone else think the GOP painting Obama as a narcissistic rock star is just out of envy? They are just jealous that they had to downsize the venue for the GOP convention while the DNC was upsized. Obama might be acting a little rock star-ish, but it's just clear that people are excited about a regime change.
Wish I were there... Attendees are in for a treat.
Maybe Obama could take a couple of fish along and feed the multitude!!!
Have your rock star show tonight Obama. That will be the end of you. No American would support you, or your left wing ideas. Americans will vote for John McCain to keep the USA safe and no higher TAXES. Have your fun, enjoy the rock star status while you can. We are seeing the end of the Democats. Soon the Republicans will take the House and Congress back, Americans have had enough of your no morals, no ideas platform. Tax the Rich will not work and the working people will not allow anymore TAX INCREASES.
John McCain 08
The question of the night will be..."was Invesco large enough to fit Obama's ego?"
Let the disaster begin...
Ahhhhhhh ! Another "Woodstock" Where have all the flowers gone? Just memories. It was great while it was going on, but now we need reality! This is the real world and our NEEDS are real and great. We need action not words! We need the results experience gets. Not on the job training for the "greatest book ever written" after the event.
This will be an exciting event and the republicans, especially McCain if so jealous that they cannot even come close to having that many people come to hear an exceptance speech.
It is sad that we have a candidate from the republican party that cannot tell the people what he believes and what his policies are without having read them from cue card or tele prompter. He needs someone write down what he needs to say, just like Bush.
Does Obama really think this circus act is going to get him elected???
NOT...
McKinney - what planet are you on? This is an historic night for ALL Americans. The world will be watching; and John McCain is trying to take away not only Mr. Obama's night, but the historic nature of it all - he is a true loser! And to all of you who say McCain has "family values," I can't wait until his ex-wife starts speaking out about how he treated her; and that horrible remark he made about a then-young Chelsea Clinton - this man has not a sensible bone in his body.
Hillary supporter for McCain, praying for rain is horrible thing to do- perhaps that’s why Hurricane Gutav is cn hits way to steal the thunder during republican weak because of people like you praying for silly things. And I pray that the hurricane missies the US and the republicans get all the air time in the world. Our message is better then theirs and I’m not afraid that people listen to the. Why are you???
Hillary supporter...if it rains it will be a blessing from the sky..dont you know that????
There is “Senator McCain” who most grew to like/love whatever suites you. For me his maverick stature is nothing but a myth.
Then there is “presidential candidate McCain” that we all have come to dislike. Why you ask? Plain and simple, the “straight talk express” had morphed into the “Straight Lie Express”.
Its sad to see McCain embrace the very painful tactics that Bush/Rove applied on him in 2000 and this has changed him from the proud public servant he was to this bitter and angry unsure person we see today who can barely speak his mind leave alone tell the truth of knowing how many houses he owns or whether truthfully he has picked a VP or not.
McCain you have failed the test because that is not the change we are looking for.
yeah the Bill Maher statement was fantastic:
"Obama is a big star, causing a lot of interest and excitement and playing a huge outdoor venue. McCain is a lounge act with Gary Puckett & The Union Gap opening for him!"
Oh McCain what an angry, outdated, wrinkly and bitter old man have you become!
Doing the Rain dance right now. Rain Rain in Denver on this parade. HIllary in 2012
We want to hear the speeches made by everyone. Please, CNN, we do not want to hear your opinions. Too much of that and not enough of the speeches. It is bad manners to be talking when someone is giving a speech. Leave the pundits for after the speeches have been heard. Come on CNN – we want to hear what these people have to say from their own mouths not from your talking heads.
CNN your health care story about Mccain has over 300 replies, why isn't it at the top of the page!
You think they'll have a shot from the Goodyear Blimp so they can get all of Obama's ego in frame at once?
I am so proud today. I wish my grandparents were alive to see how far we African Americans can really go. I really wish they were here with me in Denver to witness this with me. I know they are watching from the heavens and smiling brightly down on us as I lead my beautiful daughter through history in the making. God Bless America!!
As a former Hillary supporter, I am re-energized about our party's chances. I think Obama will make an excellent President. George Washington, Lincoln, and Kennedy didn't have Presidential experience. And to be honest, what candidate truly is ready to be President. The Oval office is just one of those things a leader just needs the knack for...and Obama got it !
Obama '08
This is supposed to be the party and the candidate that is in touch with the average Jane and Joe? How do you run on the premis that the other guys are out of touch with the economic woes of middle America and yet put on the most extravagent convention spectacle of all time?
I'd laugh if it wasn't so darn sad.
The American Dream is NOT dead after all!!! So proud of not just Obama, but to all of his loyal supporters. Say what you want about Hillary's speech the other night, but she was DEAD RIGHT when she asked her supporters if they were just supporting her or if they supported the CAUSE. We need to get America back on track – land of the free, home of the brave.
Everybody who's lucky enough to be at Invesco tonight, have a great time!! Wish I was there!!!
Obama-Biden '08 and '12
There's a rock concert tonight at Invesco Field in Denver featuring liberal goofball Bruce Springsteen and 1980's hair band, Bon Jovi. After some songs, the new messiah, Barack Obama, will speak.
BORING!
The easily led will be crying all night!
Story on the front page of CNN – Putin alledges US forced conflict between George and Russia to benefits a Presidential Candidate.
Well, remember when McCain and his side said it would benefits McCain is there was a major terror attack? Humm...sounds about right.
This is the kind of games the GOP play – not caring who gets hurt or even KILLED.
So glad Obama is gonna win in Nov. Go Obama!
The Republican's don't have to lie or make up stories on Obama...THE TRUTH IS, HE'S INEXPERIENCED AND A SOCIALIST.
Got MLK?
"working people" will not have their taxes increased. Get it right and stop spreading lies trolls. Only the rich will pay more.
If you think your best argument is that Obama is well liked and draws large crowds then you are in big trouble.
JohnBoy- We have experienced GOP rule for 8 years now. You had control of the house and lost it...Why? because the GOP sux that's why. They have had their chance with unprecedented power and access on all levels. It's time to give the samething to The Democratic party. We will clean up the mess you left behind and restore America to its former glory. No longer will we be hated around the world.
I don't know about Greek columns on the stage, all the name entertainers, cell phone numbers and promise to work for the campaign sets, set in stadium - will this display get more voters to cast their ballot for Obama? Who is the real Barack Obama? I still don't know after almost an entire year of listening to him, his campaign, his surrogates, his wife, his children. Who was that man who spent 20 years attending services at a black liberation church? Is he the same one running for President?
Put the healthcare gaffe on top of the ticker.
Let the light of a brighter day shine on all those that need to find their way
OH YEAH ITS NOT HISTORIC FOR MCCCAIN...RIGHT...HE VOTED AGAINST A KING HOLIDAY.............. WOW
POST THIS CNN.......... POST THIS............. THANK YOU
I hope all the people who have written supportive comments about Obama here will support the next President no matter who it is. I'm sure it will be an entertaining show tonight so no worries there. Careful of the golden calf though there are no real answers, just a fun and entertaining spectacle. Please take it for what it is, no more no less.
I wish Sammy Davis jr. could see this . Sammy was the most talented actor.singer dancer comedian in Hollywood. He was called the actor's actor. He was a black man invited to speak at onother democratic convention.. He was soundly booed. It broke his heart. Why was he booed? He had married a white woman!!!!!!
What goes around comes around! I am thrilled the democrats have moved into the 21st century. I am not sure about the republicans
A LOT OF REGISTERED REPUBLICANS, HAVE CROSSED OVER TO JOIN THE DEMOCRATIC FAMILY. . .WE WELCOME YOU!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08-'12
I'm an American living in Germany, due to the difference in time zones the conventions are broadcast between 1and 5 a.m. here. The first three days of the convention I've only been able to catch the last two hours. Tonight will be different, I'm staying up all night. I wouldn't miss this for the world.
I wish CNN would keep the comments until after its over, I can't stand it when they feel they have to put in their two cents throughout. And I wouldn't put it past McBush to announce his VP right when Sen. Obama is speaking.
What an exciting night for our future president. God Bless you Sen. Obama
You are just jealous because your candidate will not attract the same amount of people. What is wrong with being exuberant about the politics of a nation? Public apathy needs to be kicked to the curb. I have not heard one statement from Sen. Obama which would suggest an ego trip. As a matter of fact, while the Republican kiddie camp behaves irrationally, Sen. Obama has been exercising restraint and the patience of Job.
Republicans are funny.
Will CNN be working just as hard to release McCain's VP pick early like they did Barack's choice?!?!?
I VOTE FOR MICHELLE!!!!!!!
join the winning team!
BARACK THE VOTE!
McCain sold his soul to Karl Rove the true Anti-Christ!
Listen all of you lieing republican trash, he will cut your tax's unless you make over 250k a year, get a clue you dumb lieing scumbags. So sick of these lie's.
It's amazing reading all the stupid coments on these blogs, all the garbage spewed as facts by the ignorant, when these days, all it takes is a few minutes to check it out. Obviously facts will not stand in their small minded way. I think it will probably take another 50 years before this hateful bunch is long dead and gone before we mostly all come together.
America's history is being updated tonight before our very eyes.
Why did it take so many lives needlessly to get us here?
This has to happen and the deck is stacked against the Republican Party. This will be proof that their philosophy is truely flawed!
God's Speed to the American Dream.
Obama has a RIGHT to have his speech Wherever he pleases. Those who have something negative to say, stop fishing for Obama news and get busy sending those begging…..ops….invitation to help make the 3000 show up at McBush/GOP convention.
Better yet go to block buster and rent McBush movies he started in…..then you’ll see who really should have been in those ads with Paris and Britney.
Jealousy is a ugly thing........................

MC CAIN /ROMNEY 2008
HILLIARY 2012
the RNC is now crticizing the stage set. For being like a "greek temple".
Nevermind that DC is full to busting with corinthian columns that McCain has been photographed in many many times.
How DARE the democrats set up a stage for a presidential nominee that echoes the architecture of DC!
You'd think there would be some sensitivity to the "celebrity" ads that are, quite frankly, hitting home with some folks. Why the Greek columns as a background? What's wrong with the good old American flag?
I read this on a blog earlier today... can't remember which one... but the blogger basically said that McCain trying to step over Obama's storyline of history shows that he doesn't put his country first.
We have nominated our first African American be to be the candidate of a major party. And the fact that Barack is accepting on the 40th anniversary of MLK's I Have A Dream speech is enchanting.
McCain announcing his VP, and his attack ad tonight shows that he is putting himself first by trying to tamp down the significance of today.
I don’t know if I said it correctly, but I hope you all get what I’m trying to say….
They should not even allow the talking heads in the field. Gives more standing room for the people who really want to be there.
McSame promises very exciting ad what did I see:
FEAR MONGERING ADS
They just don't get it yet. They can start a new war with Russia or attack Iran THEY WILL LOSE.
AMERICAN'S GET IT: Not this time.
Oh please it will only be historic if Obama practices what he preaches about not raising taxes. As far as universal health care if that goes through plan on less doctors and more lawyers down the roard as we will get the bottom of the barrel for treatment and more malpractice suits. Ask any surgeon if they want universal health care.
McCain is giving us too many examples on a daily basis of how out of touch he is. I have supported Hillary in the past, but what she said is true – we just have too much at stake to even think about supporting McCain. Right now the nation is clinging to the last threads of the healthcare that is only offered as a big-ticket luxury item.
NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN........
THIS IS A GREAT DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY!! FOR ALL THE PPL OUT HERE WHO DONT LIVE THEIR LIVES BASED ON RACE, GENDER OR JUST PURE HATE, AMERICA LUVs YOU!!!!
good grief.......you're complaining about the STAGE!!! How stupid can some people be....I mean really! Does it matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The McIdiots are so desperate that they have to complain about the freaking STAGE!!!!!!
This on the same day that McIdiot's adviser tells everyone to just use the ER when they're sick....the SAME WAY BUSH DID IN JULY 07!!!
It's so sad to me that so many so called "Hillary" supporters are voting for McCain...you obviously we simply "Anti-Obama" voters anyway...in which case...you are an uninformed, petty and small person...or, are just a racist. Either way...get over it!
It will be great!
Deborah @ 3"44 if you want a work horse in the white house shouldn't you go with the guy who will work on weekends. Rather than the one who needs a daily nap and snack.
Looks like rain.
Easily led my behind!! This is an historical event and Obama DESERVES his moment. He fought hard and he fought fair and because of that he will accept the nomination tonight. He will be the first AFRICAN AMERICAN to have won the nomination of a major political party in the United States. This is no small feat considering that just 40 something years ago, black people couldn't even vote in this country. If you even tried to register to vote, you could be killed. And if you were white or jew or anyone trying to help the cause, you were considered a threat. Hate him or love him, you should be PROUD that the country has come this far. You should be glad that you are alive to witness history whether you like him or not. But the small minded people won't get it, so excuse me and move out of my way while the rest of us who do get it, CELEBRATE!!!
Go Obama!
this will be great!
Wow I grew up with a prejudice father and grandfather (maternal). It's refreshing to see that there are so many other white people supporting a person of color to run this nation. This is truly historical.
It will be very interesting to see what happens over the next couple of months as this proceeds. The debates best stick to the issues and not stoop to personal attacks. If they do I have a feeling the Reps will be devoured. It would be nice to see a landslide instead of the to close running of the past couple years.
I can't wait!
Obama drew an elated crowd of 75,000 here in Portland back in May, and I'm sure he will do even better in Denver tonight.
On the other hand, McCain's biggest crowd to-date has been a paltry 3000. McCain is so far out-of-touch with REAL America that he will never draw an audience anywhere near that size.
If the November election is anything short of a complete landslide for Obama, it's proof positive there was rampant election fraud.
We have made progress on being color-blind. a very proud day.
I believe the columns best represent "justice" and "law" as just about every courthouse in the US has them.
Chris go to obama blog
As somebody who worked years inand ER I can tell you McCain"s- GO TO THE ER PLAN- it what a great deal of Americans have now! McSame NO HEALTH CARE plan!
Just a little FYI for those of you that can't figure it out :
The stage setting for tonight is not something from Ceaser and the Roman Empire. It represents the Lincoln Memorial where Dr. King gave a famous speech.
You may have heard of it.
...and now that the war in Georgia was at the prodding of the White House to make John McCain look good – I think we can safely wrap up this year....
I am looking forward to watching this tonight on C-Span or public
television. I am just wondering if CMM hired all the folks from Fox Non-News to come work at CNN. You are printing any fluff you can just to keep McCain's name in the news, even when it is worthless. Your bias is strong, your reporting irrelevant.
THE MAVERICK IS TRYING TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM BUSH.
NO WAY,NO HOW,NO GOOD JUDGEMENT,NO EXPERIENCE
NO OBAMA.
MC CAIN /ROMNEY 2008
WELL ITS TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.. ROMNEY ARE YOU SERIOUS.... YESPLEASE LET IT BE ROMNEY...... IT WOULD BE CHRISTMAS FOR DEMS............ LOL
I understand the comparisson to MLK however I think Mr. Obama is short on that comparisson. Yes he is an intelligent African-American man however he is no MLK. MLK was not a politician he fought for the rights of others, he inspired people in a peaceful loving way. MLK wa a selfless individual who wanted to change the world with his peaceful demonstrations and who dreamed that one day people would stop vickering about race. I do not agree that Obama is at that level. He plays politics just like any other politician and what he does is for his own selfish good. That is so wrong to have people compare him to MLK.
I have a mixed prespective on tonight.
I am thrilled that an African American has risen to this level in America. I hope whether Obama wins or loses the general election that all African Americans are lifted up. This is a reason to celebrate, all Americans of all races and Democrats and Republicans alike.
But on the issues I am a Republican. As far as the election and and my vote is concerned, Obama is just another liberal Democrat running for president. So I will vote for McCain. I am 50 years old and have voted for a Republican in every election and I don't excpect that to ever change. I've never chosen my friends based on race or political affiliation. So please, don't call those of us a racist that vote McCain on the issues. That can only serve to destroy what Obama has accomplished.
McSame can't even come up with his own ideas to announce his VP selection. Is he also going to text his supporters? He tried to do it last night but guess what...it did not work. The right person will get elected. Obama will be our next president.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! Better watch out for McCain's big bad exciting and unprecedented ad this evening. A real shame that the only people who will see it are the republicans. Everyone else will be watching Obama!
Earth to McBush...come in McBush...over!
McCain's camp stays throwing out nasty ads because they know their boat is starting to sink and they have to do EVERYTHING OR ANYTHING in their power to sway our decision NOT to vote for Obama.
DAH WELL IT AINT HAPPENING!
don't Let McCain darken the bright future with lies
Weather for Denver, CO 74°F
Current:Clear
Wind: SE at 2 mph
Humidity: 18%
He is using the show to distract everyone from the fact that he is unfit to be president.
Everyone keeps lauding his judgment because of the war, but the reality is that he would be against any military action, ever, under any circumstances. He just got lucky with Iraq because it eventually became unpopular.
Wake up, people. He is capitalizing on people's hope for change only because he looks different from the other candidates. His politics are a lot of the same that we've seen. He didn't change anything in Chicago and he certainly didn't accomplish anything in the Senate, except for writing a book.
Nothing "exciting" ever comes out of the McCain camp.....Last time they were excited their was a early bird special on Cod at Libby's Diner.
ABOUT THOSE (IONIC?) COLUMNS
The convention has been rife with symbolism. Hillary's Harriet Tubman story was probably best. The Greek columns are a symbolic reference to the fact that Greece is the cradle of democracy and that the United States of America is an important part of that democratic legacy. The 80,000 participants re-emphasize the democratic nature of the event. The republicans couldn't generate such a gathering; they are reduced to ridiculing it.
A historic event deserves a historic setting.
I know that this is an election campaign but I would hope that Mr. McCain understands the historical importance of this day as well as the symbolism it holds for many Americans. Even though McCain did not readily agree that MLK should have a Holiday, I hope he allows those of us who have fought against the evils of the past, time to reflect and embrace such an incredible moment. It would be extremely disrespectful to those who dreamed of this time – a time when America shows the world that in our country, anything is possible. Only in America could things change in one generation. Mr. McCain, tonight, resist the temptation to be a Republican candidate and be what all of us are......AN AMERICAN!!!! God Bless America!
the beginning of the end for the the GOP nightmare of the last 8 years. re-instating our constitution and bill of rights will be exciting, when justice is brought to bear on their 'mistakes'.
I am voting for HILLARY !
I can't wait!!! GO OBAMA!!!
God keep him safe–
What a wonderful night this will be as the Democrats help culminate this amazing week. cingratulations to the delgates, you did wonderful !
I'm sure his speech will be like all the rest he's given: vague and empty, appealing only to emotion and the naive dems clueless enough to listen to him.
I don't need to listen to "Hussein" Obama, I know enough about him to know he's dangerous, and he's only where he's at because of his color.
TO BE PRESIDENT OF WHAT MARIA???
McCain and all the republicans can criticize Obama all he wants in regards to his big event tonight but tonight is an historic night for every American!!! This is a night I thought I would NEVER see in my life time. I think it is absolutely wonderful that Obama wants to share this historic moment with his supporters. Why is it such a crime to really be really liked by your supporters???
So McCain, go ahead a release all the idiotic commericals you want. McCain will be luck if he can get 5000 to come to his rally tomorrow in Ohio.
I BELIEVE PUTIN 100%. WE ALREADY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE UP TO FROM THE BEGINNING. JOHN MCCAIN NEEDED A SCARE TACTIC AND THE WHITEHOUSE PROVIDED JUST THAT!!!!!!!
L.O.L.O.L.O.L.O.L.O.L.O.L.O.L.
OH, THIS ELECTION IS GONNA BE A BREEEEEZE.
WHEN DID IT BECOME A SIN TO BE INTELLEGENT, WISE, FORWARD THINKING AND ADMIRED!!!!
EVEN SOME REPUBLICANS CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES FALL ALL OVER OBAMA. LOL!!!!!
OBAMA-BIDEN THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!!!
If Hurrcaine Gutva delays the GOP convention, it will give Obama the week back that he took for vacation, Good things happen to good people.
I am so sick of hearing Obama say he is living the 'American Dream'. Well, my husband came to America (the product of an American mother and Greek/Armenian father), when he was 18 with only $1200 to go to college. He worked 2 jobs, got mononucleous twice and graduated with a Masters degree. Now, he makes a good living and for all our hard work, I cannot see giving it all to taxes for social services that won't work. You see, I lived in England for 8 years with socialized medicine and it doesn't work! I agree we may not have the best health care system, but if you ask the Brits, they don't either. We need to find another way. I am a moderate who thinks that John McCain is not the best, but thinks Obama will drive our country into socialism and that is much worse.
Yes, Martin Luther King Jr. dream has finally come to fruition! It is a glorious day. God may you protect this man and his family in Jesus name , Amen. This was a long awaited day from so many prayers and so many who had to suffer and endure to see this come to past.
CC Atlanta August 28th, 2008 4:11 pm ET
…and now that the war in Georgia was at the prodding of the White House to make John McCain look good – I think we can safely wrap up this year…."
That's right, keep re-iterating lies made by Putin. I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to believe him. It's obvious Putin wants Obama to win because he knows he doesn't have the balls to stand up to him like McCain does.
P.S. What time does Bon Jovi go on?
The lines are long at McCain events as well.
...
It's a long line to get to the meat station at Country Kitchen Buffet.
Terry your downer comments cant even put a damper on this historic event about to take place today. Keep you negative remarks for next weeks diaster of a convention.
Obama/Biden
The mean behavior of the McCain campaign during this Democratic Convention instead helped to unite Democrats. Republicans were expecting drama and conflict; instead, to their chagrin, they got amazement and resounding acclamation for the Democratic nominee! The country has now seen how mean McCain and his proteges can be and how his team has been taken over by Karl Rove, the primier dirty political operators. That is the kind of politics that brought us to the dire place we are in now and that we MUST get away from. Finally, we should never toy with the idea of an extended Bush Presidency through McCain. McCain will surely take us quickly into World War III. Remember his "bomb, bomb, bomb" quip!
A health care policy adviser for the McCain campaign told a newspaper reporter that nobody in the United States is technically uninsured, because everyone has access to hospital emergency rooms.
"So I have a solution [to the health care crisis]. And it will cost not one thin dime," John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, told the Dallas Morning News in an interview published Thursday.
"The next president of the United States should sign an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to cease and desist from describing any American – even illegal aliens – as uninsured. Instead, the bureau should categorize people according to the likely source of payment should they need care. So, there you have it. Voila! Problem solved
AND THIS IS THE GUY YOU ARE VOTING FOR?
NO MCCAIN
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!
How exciting I cant wait for this show tonight.
Obama/Biden
For the so called PUMA's and Hillary supporters who will vote for McCain all I can say is too bad for you. MOVE ON is launching a voter registration campaign that will sign up millions of more Obama supporters! NO MCCAIN, NO WAY!!!
What does it mean?
Focus on the Family prayed for rain during Obama's speech, and it's going to be a beautiful night.
During the Republican Convention, however, Hurricane Gustav is going to hit New Orleans.
Hey Focus on the Family... think there's a message from God there?
N'Obama! No way, not now, not tomorrow! Do we want to repeat the years of preaching diplomacy and having to watch Bosnia and Herzogovina go up in flames and witness unceasing genocide until Szrbrencia forced us to act. Do we need to relive the DOT.COM legacy of the Clinton years. Do we need to let Al Queda continue to go unpunished. Do we need another president that orates and orates and orates, but accomplishes nothing. I think not. My vote will be difficult to earn. McCain might be more tested, but I lack as much confidence in him as I do N'Obama. We need a real alternative, but none is handy.
Many have said over the past 19 months of Obama's campaign that he would not get this far. I beleived at the very beginning that he was chosen by God. LOOK at his beginnings and look at him NOW. The footsteps of a good man have been ordered by the Lord. If it's for you NO ONE can take it from you !! NO ONE!! Love you all. May God bless you and May God Bless America. If only MLK were here!!!!!
McCain don't need a VP pick. Make sure McCain retires in one of his 8 homes and not the White House. McCain wants all social security receipients like myself to retire in the old folks home so why should I vote for him to retire in the White House. Send McCain packing.
Debby,
The surgeons in Canada, Netherlands, France etc... all seem fine with the system. They are all well paid, and doing much better than any unskilled worker in the countries they live. If I ask a surgeon here, I WILL probably get a complaint, that they will be told how much they are going to get paid, as opposed to naming their own fee, and more subject to regulation of fraudulent charges, whether from the doctor or the hospital. And... you are right, if they want to have 3 houses that cost millions instead of one, then they would have to move to another country like this one. WOOPS there aren't any economic powerhouses like us that don't already have national healthcare. Guess they will have to do it because they WANT to be doctors and the pay is still better than third world countries.
clear skies and 60 degrees..perfect weather
God MUST LOVE Obama too..
in spite of the prayers for bad weather by 'christians'
McCain couldn't attrack that many people to hear his boring old behind speak if he paid them. He could hold his speech in a conference room.
> It's a shame the DNC took it away from Hillary. And it's a shame that Obama will lose to McCain.
The real shame is that you fools refuse to accept the truth and will continue to cry like a little kid who can't accept the fact that there is no Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.
Its a production, staged for effect, orchestrated just as every other public appearance. We don't need a figure head squandering millions on fluff, pomp and circumstance. Where are the facts, a history of action, to back up your promises? Trinity Church, racist ethnocentrism, divisiveness in party, back room deals, Rezco, Ayers- terrorist mentor, Michelle who is marginally proud of America ans can not hide her annimosity towards Hillary. Proof positive that Barack is not qualified to lead this country.
And each one has to pay "how much" to get in????
There's probably more people standing in line in that photo than will be attending John McCains "exciting" announcement tonight.
"No Obama 08", come out of the closet and show yourself for what you are, a morbidly obese, undereducated, 20-something on-line wargame player living in your parents basement, and hired by the Republican to post drivel on the Ticker.
NO Way NO How, No McCain!!!!
Obama 08
Wish I was there!!!!!
I read some comments and decided to watch Cspan last night and I have no regrets. I was able to watch and hear the entire speech of President Bill Clinton without interference and so much more.
I know CNN's moderator doesn't like to publish some comments like mine for example always awaiting moderation, but you know what I just don't care
John in Binghamton, NY: ""working people" will not have their taxes increased. Get it right and stop spreading lies trolls. Only the rich will pay more"
How do you figure? Do the rich not work, too? So you find it acceptable to punish success and reward failure in America? Is this the new American Dream?
Now this is exciting, not some ad by McCain talking to the American people... that's not change we can believe in my friends.
No way, no how, no McCain!
Wish I was there!!!!!
IT WILL NOT MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT HOW GREAT YOU DEMS THINK IT WILL BE, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NOV AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN ALL OF US SMART ONES GO TO VOTE, JUST BECAUSE THERE WILL BE A WHOLE LOT OF DEMS IN ONE PLACE OF COURSE ITS GOING TO LOOK GREAT TO DEMS. BUT WAIT JUST WAIT YOU WILL SEE NO WAY NO HOW NOT IN A MILLION YEARS WILL NO EXPERIENCE OBAMA BE PRESIDENT.
JOHN MCCAIN HAS PROVEN HE IS WILLING TO GIVE UP HIS LIFE FOR US.
JOHN WILL BE PRESIDENT
I'm not tuning into Obama's speech. If I want to hear someone preach I'll go to church on Sunday.
Thank you for CARING for ALL people Obama. You are the only candidate that really thought of the people and move to a bigger site to deliver your speech so more could feel included. Those who negatively criticized Obama decision, shut up and take notes.
Obama/Biden 08
McCain was once a POW. Once, they say, he was a maverick. Those days are gone. Now he is a tired man who has no new ideas and bases his campaign on slandering his opponent.
I feel sorry for those of you who don't see what I do in Obama. He has judgment, wisdom, intelligence, and a very different kind of experience that will enhance his ability to lead our nation.
So what if it's a party tonight? This is an historic celebration.
Obama 08/12
the forecast is perfect for tonight. Your prayers have not been answered, hateful people who prayed for rain. Thank God you are not being listened to by the big guy this election season...after all He said ‘blessed are the peacemakers’ and that means he aint for McWar. .
Congratulations to the African American community for this historic event. This is what being an American is supposed to be about...land of the free and endless opportunities. We the People!!!
- signed: a White Guy.
Does anyone realize that this article is a report on an ad that hasn't even been aired yet? Does anyone see CNN's desparation here? What has the media come to that not only are we reporting on controversial campaign tv spots by AIRING THEM but CNN has the audacity to report on news even BEFORE IT HAPPENS!!! I don't know about you all, but I will be getting the rest of my campaign news from NPR or the BBC... this is rediculous!
The "Rock Star" will take stage tonight. Is Britney Spears going to be on stage tonight? I heard Obama had the same "Stage Designer."
McCain '08 Hillary '12
Just because it is historic does not mean we should elect him. Most people still will vote party lines because of core party policies like taxes, abortion, constitutional interpretation, big v. little government, immigration, social security reform, international policy, and plain old liberal v. conservative values, etc.
I get sick of democrats who think they have the monopoly on intelligent opinions on these policies and issues. Many people will see the historic importance of an African American candidate, but will still vote for the guy who they think will not take the country in the wrong direction (like Obama will).
Mike, Its free. Supporters got tickets in the mail.
MCCAIN WILL WIN
CARE TO MAKE A BET????????????
POST THIS
This is history in the making. In God we trust.
wish I was there
No matter what happened in November this great nation made history since it was found.
It took a long time for this great day to come, but next week all the Media hype, 'just words' and "beautiful speeches" of this week; will be over shadowed by the next wave of "Just words" and "Beautiful speeches", and media Hype!
America is finally growing up...
Typical republican respone I'm sure. When your are backed into a corner like they are, what else can you expect? They have nothing of substance to say. Oh, excuse me, maybe George W. (W stands for "WORST" president in the history of our country) Bush could give a great speach on their behalf. snicker, snicker
Why is it with the republicans alway more of the same? NO McCAIN..
Gallup Daily Tracking Poll – OBAMA +6%. That is a 6% bump. Last night and tonight yet to be factored in.
BYE BYE Johny boy
America is moving way too fast! Slow down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@tlobe, montgomery, al
-----
I think you need a some perspective, here.
Do we need to move on from the 34,000 deaths caused by Bush and the Republican party's ego?
Aren't we currently living through a banking and housing crisis? I work in Banking and there have been countless people laid off that I personally know. The Dot.Com collapse pails in comparison.
This is hilarious. Bashing a candidate because he is "popular"....because he has many supporters....because his supporters are energized.
Makes so much sense.
Historical was COLIN POWELL heading the Joint Chiefs!
Historical was CLARENCE THOMAS being named to the Supreme Court!
Historical was CONDI RICE being named as Secretary of State!
ALL BY REPUBLICANS!
Bill Clinton had a black secretary!
It's not about Obama's skin color. It's about his dangerous, leftist ideology that turns people off.
Democrats just WISH it were all about race!
Obama has not run or done anything...only an idiot would elect him president. He's just a smooth talker who has a lot of uninformed folks (to steal his word) in a daze! He should go back to Rev. Wright where he belongs!
THE NEXT PRESIDENT IS AWESOME.......GO ABAMA
Sorry, but where does popularity = ego, arrogance. How about JEALOUSY, which is all McCain and his camp seem to care about.
Obama 08
McCain should get over the celebrity cramp! He's the wannabe celebrity appearing on all of these talk shows trying his hand at being a comedian. Has he been checked for Alzheimer's since he can't seem to remember simply things. Do we really want someone like that running the country?!
Put a fork in McCain, he's done. Obama will be up by ten next week after this speech, McCain turns 72, and Katrina's anniversary is made more prominent by Gustav. Ted Stevens and his "experience" are not helping either.
Wish I could be there!!!!
Obama 08!!!
Gallup had OBAMA BACK UP BY 6!!! Thank you Clintons. Thank you for killing the false feud. We love you!!!
After listening to the Clintons... im now willing to hear Obama out...
I LOVE The Clintons, but they can not deliver my vote.
Obama needs to sell himself now.
This just seems like overkill to me.
And here's my biggest gripe- how the hey is this country & its people EVER going to get over the "race" issue if the media keeps bringing it up every single chance it gets. Even during the "roll call vote" (and don't even get me started on that), people kept referring to "the first African American this, and the first African American that...." Dadgum people, we're all American. We need to drop that African or Hispanic or whatever ethnic group you put in front of it and just be AMERICANS. Putting some ethnic name in front of it just serves to continue the division of races. We can SEE what ethnic group someone might be from- we don't need to be told every single time. How would people like it if someone insisted being called White American? That would go over like a lead balloon (or worse). So why do we need to constantly put some ethnic identifier in front of every other group? Can't we just all ben Americans and be concerned for what is best for all Americans?
Get real! They are all there for the entertainment, not Obama. Alot of headliners are scheduled to appear, that's who all of the people are there to see.
IDEOTS, YOU ARE NOT HUNGRY ENOUPH!
YOU NEED OBAMA FOR 4 YEARS TO GET YOU THERE/ POVERTY/!!!
Idiocracy being made tonight.
Unbelievable.
CNN is another regional campaign headquarters of Obama. Keep it up, CNN. You believe that your ratings will stay high by supporting Obama, and once he loses in Nov, there will be a pie on all your faces, and you will have zero credibility and nobody will want to watch you.
Ronnie
I just found out that the exciting and unprecedented ad that McCain is going to air tonight is a congrat to Obama, "A job well done" commercial, which is nice. Especially when Obama and the rest of the party have taken off their gloves and are ready to fight all of the dirty tricks he's ready to unpack.
swimmingly, an impenetrable thicket of words. this is how blue blooded Mitt Romney talks. only to please himself. he is pretentious and childish. he is not vice presidential material.
Regardless if one supports Obama or not , those criticizing this speech and this moment in history are clueless as to the historic significance of this nomination and what this country has achieved in nominating an African Amercian for Presdient. All Amercians, even those who support McCain, should be cognizant and proud of the anguish this country has gone through to achieve this milestone. Even John McCain is putting out an Ad today congratulating Obama for this achievement. You don't have to support Obama if you do not want too. But if you continue to criticize this moment and fail to participate in this country's pride and the example it has set for the world by way of the progress it has made regarding human rights then YOU ARE NOT AN AMERICAN.
I wish I could be there also!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08
YES WE CAN!
I'd like to thank those of you who have enlightened the uninformed as to the use of the columns. Those people who thought it was a Greek set must be taking their low-information views from Faux News.
I don't believe Obama will drive us to socialism, as Virginia Wilson insinuated, but why is socialism so bad? Do you know how many socialist countries (mainly in Europe) have better healthcare, better education, higher average wages, lower infant mortality, lower poverty rates, longer life spans, lower suicide rates, et al? The United States lags behind most of those countries in most of those categories. So why is socialism a four-letter word??
MCCAIN WILL WIN, why are you yelling? You are protesting too much!
Looks like all of the backwards-thinking haters will be drowned out tonight!
GOBAMA!!!
This is whole a country should come together. In unity and for the people. "Oh I'm proud to be an American. Where at least I know I'm free....."
Singing a little Ray Charles "Ole Beautiful.."
For all the Republican commentators on here, I've voted republican for 20 years. Not this year. No way, no how, No McCain. And there are a lot more republicans and independants defecting Obama's way, so for all those who are so sure McCain will win in November. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. Your time is over.
It is great to see this interest in the American process. When was the last time we had this kind of excitment? So sad that with all the postive said about McCain last night he is determined to pull down only negative comments. I don't remember during this process of hearing anything positive that McCain has said about Obama or any other person who is in this process. Too bad! Just show though the people standing outside is waiting to see Obama is wanting a new America.
Emergency room = Healthcare for all Americans incl we the illegals ..yay...
Where are these republicans from ?
To PUMA 4 OBAMA and anyone else in the same situation:
I would like to sincerely say,
THANK YOU.
As a registered Republican, I look forward to anything different than what we currently have. Change is the other guy to me. I look forward to what Sen Obama has to say this evening.
68 days till very exciting night when wise people will finally take this great country back on track! Obama/Biden/Clinton will defeat McCain/Romney/Lieberman by a landslide.
As an outraged registered nurse, I cannot believe the stupid comment made by the Mc Cain camp that "we can go to emergency rooms for healthcare". Does this fool realize how crowded hospitals are? Have they ever been in a nursing home with 1 or 2 RN's taking care of 50 to 60 patients needs with only a few aides to help them? Have they ever had to choose between buying food and paying a doctor's bill? These Republican, out of touch Mc Cain supporters are acting like Elitists with their heads up their behinds! Godspeed Barack Obama and Joe Biden–America needs you! DEMS in '08!
Sante: Are you better off now than 7 years ago?
And McCain is having trouble giving away 10,000 tickets to the intro of his VP in Ohio.
Bush's third term is in trouble.
OBAMA WILL NOT LOSE...NEVER! I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND MCCAIN.
I will be watching at home. My heart is pounding just thinking about it.
Let's Unite August 28th, 2008 4:38 pm ET
To PUMA 4 OBAMA and anyone else in the same situation:
I would like to sincerely say,
THANK YOU.
-----------
Don't thank me, thank the Clintons for reminding me I'm an American above anything else.
Why are people going to see this?
Is this a religious experience?
I really think there are drugs in our water supply.
what CAN I SAY BUT WOWWW!!! THIS IS TRULY A MILESTONE IN AMERICAN HISTORY. FINALLY WE ARE STARTING TO SEE DR. MLK DREAM BEING REALIZED. THANK GOD LIFE DONT LAST FOREVER. THE RACIST ERA IS BEGINNING TO COME TO AN END. IM GLAD TO KNOW IM APART OF HISTORY AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO. THANK YOU HILARY FOR WHAT YOU DONE FOR AMERICA. YOU MADE HISTORY TOO!! NO WAY, NO HOW, NO JOHN MCCAIN!!!
This is what McCain and his camp hates to see!!!!!!. People coming out in thier numbers to support Obama. So, guess what, and ad will be out critizing Obama for drawing this crowd. In any event i hope Obama gives the speech of his life and follows through with his work in the White House.
Obama/Biden 08/2012
Not sure if CNN will post this – but here goes....
There are people who are seriously supporting Hillary....which positions?? (she has taken all of them) – her heroic sniper fire story (which was a complete lie) – perhaps its her "experience" – )she didn't attend a single cabinet meeting) – maybe its her service to her home state of Arkansas....then a quick move to NY (where when she was elected she wouldn't even qualify for a student load....didn't live in the state long enough) – perhaps it was the earmark the to Childrens Health Bill of 1 million to build a Woodstock Musceum – perhaps the Chinese dishwashers making 12K per year – shown donating 2500 each to Hillary....(maybe they saved huh?) – I need to know what makes you people tick....do you just ignore the aforementioned...its all true....why won't you see it??
100,000 people requested tickets in the first 48 hours...the stadium only holds 75,000 people are even now trying to get tickets...that's not being a rock star, thats being better than McCain
This is a moment that should make all citzens of of this great
nation proud. I hope Mccaine don't try and mess it up ! just for
politalical gain. This is American history we can all be proud of.
That stage and the arrogance of Obama reminds me of George Bush 8 years ago. He lost every debate and they still voted for him. Only in america.
CNN!!! for a week, you put your poll of polls up indicating the tie between the candidates. Then on 6/24, Obama took a 4 point lead and nothing. Today, 6/28 Gallup has Obama with a 6 point lead. What gives? Is your desire to keep it close hindered your ability to cover the news??? Please report all the news, not just the news that helps your political team.
Wow! Look at those lines. It is very exciting to see American excited about "Change We Can Believe In". So exciting! Can't wait for tonight. I think I am going to have a box of tissues near me.
