Obama rally live on CSPAN NOW!

[Drunken Irishman]

[Stephanie]

1. Thanks, which CSpan?

What time? Thanks in advance! GObama!!!

[Drunken Irishman]

2. Number 1. Right now they're doing calls, but the rally will start soon.

[Stephanie]

33. OMG it could not be in starker contrast to hers.

Even after a few minutes of viewing it's like the dawn against the dark. Hers is staged and phony and insincere. It is a Rovian Potemkin infomercial. Obama's leading a movement.

[Democrafty]

17. 9:30ish, EST n/t

[Kittycat]

3. Yes, details please. We're watching KO on Tivo, and I don't want to miss it.

[Drunken Irishman]

5. I'll let you know when it starts and what's going on.

Kerry to introduce him.

[Kittycat]

8. Thanks.

[Neecy]

4. thanks for the heads-up

Watching now...

[thevoiceofreason]

6. I liked the call in woman

Who said Oprah and Maria were "unkempt." OK, I'll see your unkempt and raise you 17,000+ average screaming fans.

[Drunken Irishman]

9. Yeah, that call was appalling.

I thought all four women looked beautiful.

[thevoiceofreason]

11. Amen

Barack belongs to a church of my denomination -- UCC -- open and affirming. Doesn't that say it all.

[VolcanoJen]

7. Drunken Irishman, you are better than my Tivo guide.

:loveya:

[Drunken Irishman]

10. I try, hopefully it starts soon!

[VolcanoJen]

12. Hey, watching CSPAN and waiting is still better...

... than watching Dan Abrams fluff for the establishment on MSNBC. :-)

I like watching CSPAN; I'm always hoping to hear one real nutter of a caller!

[thevoiceofreason]

13. What is nice right now is all the Shrillbots are

on the Hillary townhall, watched by 17 people and 6 cats, thread.

[thevoiceofreason]

14. C-Span callers are hilarious

"I'm calling your from the bottom of a very deep mine -- somewhere."

[Drunken Irishman]

15. I like when they forget to turn down their radio.

[Patsy Stone]

16. All of the callers are insane, aren't they?

It's like they're all about to scream, "Ba-ba-BOOEY! Ba-ba-BOOEY!!"

And this is the most insane one yet. Mr. Fort Lauderdale. :crazy:

[Drunken Irishman]

18. Lame, still waiting for this rally.

These CSPAN callers are driving me crazy.

[maximusveritas]

[Neecy]

24. I choked on my cappuccino

[jefferson_dem]

25. ...

:puke: for you know what...er...who.

[SoxFan]

27. What? What happened?

[tishaLA]

26. WTF is this crap?

[jefferson_dem]

28. Opening act sucks! Infomercial with some lady in a loud red jacket...

[Neecy]

32. and for some reason she was being patronizing to a child

[Drunken Irishman]

34. Finally!

[thevoiceofreason]

29. I can't decide if I am mad

or just furious. but at least it showed her stance on that point is vacuous.

O thank God they just turned that tripe off. Did you hear that? The event is 90 minutes, but they nly bought an hour! Ran out of money, did you my dear?

[thoughtcrime1984]

30. Hey fellow Obama supporters

enjoy your hot garbage! :puke: :nuke: :wtf:

[thevoiceofreason]

31. Now THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT!

[Drunken Irishman]

35. Rep. Delahunt giving a passionate speech!

MICKS FOR OBAMA! :)

[wildflowergardener]

36. thanks - cspan

Has anyone figured out any way to get their Tivo to catch Obama programs on Cspan - or know of any way to automatically be notified when Obama events are going to appear on cspan? I seem to always miss these things and would have missed it if I hadn't checked the board, though I have my Tivo set to record everything about Obama.

Thanks for posting this.

Meg

[Drunken Irishman]

37. Probably not, since CSPAN doesn't list candidate rallies.

[Kittycat]

38. No, we've tried

Until they change their programming, there's no way to catch it unless you just set it to continuously record.

[milkyway]

39. Just came on, and I can't believe they screwed up the background again!

The speaker on now is against a black curtain with metal pipes. Unfuckingbelievable. I hope there's a change made before Barack gets on.

They killed the St. Louis event Saturday night by having the camera show Barack against a black curtain with a few local pols sitting behing him. It killed his message. How hard is it to get real people to sit behind the candidate and at least against a more colorful curtain? I understand at these large arenas he's on a raised stage, but there are ways to work around it to have a more pleasing background.

They screwed up today in New Jersey also. Did anyone not realize that the Meadowlands is in the middle of fucking nowhere? On a Monday at Noon? If you're going to have a large event during the workday, it has to be in a central urban location. Who's going to commute through the hell that is New Jersey highways to get to a rally from work? You would need to take the day off work, but because the event wasn't announced until Saturday people couldn't even make arrangements in advance. Should've been in Newark where they could still get the free media, but at least have a large live audience.
