This idiot just got done speaking in my town of Elko NV. He was condescending and had that arrogant attitude while he read off the teleprompters. Mentioned the 2nd amendment, says he supports it for us dumb a$$ rural peons. Mentioned the mining industry which is what we do here along with ranching. Said he understood it....unlike his opponent. Never said HOW he understood it! The messiah went on to say he was a Democrat who could have spent his time campaigning in Las Vegas, but he cares sooo much about us and that he needed to come here.
Then he just made up a freakin’ lie saying that the Dem's care about us that's why he's here and the Republican’s don't ever show. B.FREAKIN’ S.!!!!
Republican’s always come here. The Channey’s were here last election and it was standing room only. The place was packed. Since I'm involved with the vote out here I know that either McCain or Palin with be here for a fact. Probably the first since we're strong Republican here and she's needed other places.
He kept saying Elko to bond with the handful of people that showed up. It was pitiful. The only fun thing was there was this kid behind him making faces and gestures, yawning on purpose, and I think he even faked picking his nose! A couple of people tried to make him stop but he wouldn't. Then he was gone, secret service probably took care him. This guy is a total fake.
WELLS, Nevada. That’s it!
It's unusual but NV is a swing state in this election. We need every Republican vote there to offset the liberal union and transplanted Californian vote in LV. The Messiah was in Elko to hustle for the union voters from the gold mines.
If Obama loses this election by a close margin campaign stops like this one are going to be questioned as a waste of time & other resources.
Obama spent a lot of time in my area, central Pennsylvania, during the Dem Primary. It's another solidly Republican area. It made a sort of sense then, when the opponent was Hillary. But for the general election he'd do better to focus on areas where he is either strong (maximize his base turnout) or on areas with strong crossover tendencies.
Campaigning in conservative Republican areas is just not going to budge the meter.
Thanks for the great report. I was pretty sure he had his teleprompter crutch with him and you have confirmed it.
I also surmised that the crowd wasn’t very big because of how tight the camera shot was.
Yep!
Exactly. He is a fake. That is all that needs to be said about him.
Speaking of lipstick. The Republicans should comes out with their own brand ... call it “Sarah.” They would make a fortune.
There are only one or two mines that are union here. Newmont for sure,Barrack is not. I don't think it matters much. We have an established community that votes Republican. The newbies come and go but dont’ vote much. It cuts into their casino time.
That said we take nothing for granted out here. We pound the pavement until the polls close.
Obama probably thought highly of Hunter, although probably not highly of the way he had his cremated remains shot from a cannon!
Obama went to Elko to pay homage to an MJ hero, not to draw a crowd. He sought solidarity with the Rolling Stone subscriber base.
