Toyota Center vs A High School Gym. Question: Who's speaking where?
Does this not give a hint at how one sided this election is right now?

1. What is a Toyota Center?
I'm guessing it's some kind of arena?

These corporate names for stadia bug me.

5. Home of the Houston Rockets
All tickets gone for Obama speech. We're talking about 20000 people. I'm completely neutral here, but I gotta admit that is pretty damned impressive.

9. Had said he could have filled the Alamodome (60K) in SA
Think any place they booked would be filled at this point.

6. Packing arenas is one thing
But if those same people don't vote, you're screwed.

21. I'd venture to guess that most folks who spend hours in long lines to hear a speech
will take a few minutes of their day to vote.

7. If I had 3 guesses... i'd say Obama = Toyota Center; Hillary = High School Gym...
But that's just a guess? :)

19. I was referring to that infamous "behind the music" video from Hillary's own campaign...

Nice to see you again, Cali. :hi:
