ROCK BEATS SCISSORS

The Obama campaign announced Monday that he will leave the hall of the Democratic National Convention in Denver and deliver a rock-star-style acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High, quadrupling his live audience.
The speech will be on the fourth and final day of the convention, Aug. 28.
Adding to the historic resonance of the first African-American to be nominated for president, that’s also the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream Speech.”
The move means additional expense for the television networks, where executives are having a conference call Monday to discuss the expense and logistics of moving their cameras and anchors to the new location after months of planning for a finale in the Pepsi Center.
The convention hall has a capacity of 19,000, compared to more than 76,000 at Invesco.

We’re DOOOmmmmed!
If he is elected, he will send all Republicans to the gas chambers! The continent will sink into the Oceans, We’ll all just disappear into thin air. America will be gone forever. OH the FEAR! (((Shiver))) (((Shiver)))!
But don’t worry, some of us still have the courage to dig in and fight for what Conservatism used to mean.
I actually think a better parallel would be with Lenin and the Bolsheviks.
No, just wry, if that’s the way to put it.

The last time he spoke to 75,000 (Portland) it really wasn’t 75,000 (and we had a good long thread about it, culminating with pix of Kerry at the same venue, with the same-sized crowd pegged at about 30,000)
The media will have a running battle to see who can out-exagerrate/adulate.
AP will report it as the “Million-Man Inauguration”
John Lynch has always got something to say about something. Too bad Jason Elam, another strong conservative, still isn’t playing for the Broncos. He has a nuclear scenario at a national convention in his book Monday Night Jihad.
Hey, don't take my name in vain. I can't even operate a 1930's brownie camera, LOL.

You can also bet that John Elway won’t be in attendance.
He’s also one quarter Arab.
But his skin color wins out over his ethnic heritage.
The talking points have been written and his landmark candidacy will be written in history textbooks as the DNC sees fit.
Will he be on horseback?
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
I know where the sun shines best—
Obammy,
My little Obammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Obammy.
I’m comin’,
Sorry that I made you wait.
I’m comin’,
Hope and trust that I’m not late, oh oh oh
Obammy,
My little Obammy,
I’d walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
Obammy! Oh oh oh...
Sorry Mr. Jolson!
Because the more we see the more it seems like we have seen it before. People fainting and oogling and looking crazy eyed. We have all seen it before, in the 30s in germany. Dude just look at the reaction to Hitler and the reaction to the Obamsiah.
One well-placed negative word from John Elway could wreck this whole event for Obama. PLEASE John, please do your part to torpedo this dangerous man.
Don’t go there. LOL.
Required national service, Obama Youth, and talk of nationalizing the oil industry.
I agree there are people in this country who need to wake up.
