Hillary fans, if Obama's so damaged, why are they lining up for 10 hours to see him in Oregon?

[RBInMaine]

Capacity crowds of thousands to see someone so damaged, in such a freefall?? Hmmmm. Don't think so. The Wright/race things has been just another corporate biased media creation. The people want to hear about the OTHER pressing issues, and on race they're interested in how to heal and overcome the divisions. Obama = standing room only !!

[anonymous171]

1. White Guilt, obviously.

:sarcasm:

[WillyT]

4. LOL !!!

:rofl:

I'm just guilty that I missed him when he was in my area.

:banghead:

[democrattotheend]

2. 10 hours?

Who lined up 10 hours in advance? I love the guy but that is insane!

[sandnsea]

12. Actually, 15 hours

People were in line at 5, 5:30 - doors opened at 7 and he took the stage at 9:30 pm. Lots of people in line by 10:30 am.

Why? We've been trying to get rid of these fuckheads for longer than most.

[ericgtr]

14. In Portland people were lined up here since midnight last night for a 9:30 am rally

In Eugene they were there as early as 5:00 am for a 9:00 pm rally, Salem was also packed. All venues were filled beyond capacity, here in Portland last night people were selling tickets for $100 a pop on craigslist, not right I know but it sure is telling.

In Portland his rally was at the Memorial Coliseum which has a capacity of 13,000 all of which were snatched up within hours, outside there were hundreds if not thousands who were unable to get in and just waited outside for a peak.

Bottom line, rock concerts don't normally do this well here.

[sandnsea]

29. I heard there was overflow at the soccer field

in Eugene, but I don't have numbers on it yet. I wish I knew why the east is so different than the west.

[thoughtcrime1984]

3. Oregon doesn't count!

Not everyone believes the steaming, stinky pile of shit served up by the HRC campaign and the MSM.

[roguevalley]

43. Oregon is dead to them. More room for me. :)

[blonndee]

5. It's the Kool-Aid and free bong hits and lattes.

[tammywammy]

6. It's the refreshments

[smalll]

7. Over-caffeinated latte liberals.

Urban Oregon is just a Seattle satellite-state at this point. Latte liberalism was born there (Starbucks.)

Quelle surprise mon ami, quelle surprise. :shrug:

[Arugula Latte]

15. Please see my sig line

and, thank you for your dismissive condecension! :hi: It's done wonders for your candidate's campaign, BTW.

Here ya go ... An extra-pretty one, on me.

[VolcanoJen]

33. The "Insult 40 States" Strategy is Unstoppable

;-)

[vita405]

8. Obama has not been hurt in the primary because of Wright. He's only been hurt in the GE

According to polls, where he led McCain comfortably until Wright's video was released.
In the primaries, it doesn't matter anyway because Clinton has no chance to catch up.

[RBInMaine]

18. Yeah, for the MOMENT thanks to corporate media BS slanted echo-chambering. PLEASE don't validate

the OBVIOUSLY crappy and biased corporate media gaming here. As to the polls, they go up and down daily. Don't mean a whole heck of a lot over a few days. So we'll just see.

[BenDavid]

9. maybe they do not want to miss the part where he changes

water into wine and Canned Heat playing in the background.....

[Mz Pip]

11. Even I would

stand in line 10 hours to see that.

[TexasLady]

13. Well he IS going to be in Medford, Oregon tomorrow

But the event is already completely sold out.

[here_is_to_hope]

57. And Medford is

predominately white, conservative and ah...backwards. Cali has had an impact on the area but....:evilgrin:

The reasons behind Oregons' Liberalism stems from the Exodus of Hippies that left Cali in the late 1960's, they moved up, bought land and yes, eventually took over cities like Eugene politically.
Except for a few 'nanny state type laws', they have done ok.

[RBInMaine]

19. Never thought a post could be this NUMB. Guess I was wrong.

And you people wonder why Hillary and her clan are despised by half the country.

[slinkerwink]

26. are you mocking my Catholic faith?

[VolcanoJen]

37. I'd wait ... who's the opener?

:P

[ClayZ]

10. It was a great rally.

I watched on NWCN (Northwest Cable News)

[bigtree]

16. It's the Obama camp (and now Richardson) who acts as if he's so fragile

. . . that words from his rival camp threaten to undo his candidacy.

[anigbrowl]

24. Bwahahahaha

[eridani]

30. Those words threaten Clinton's candidacy as well

Whenever she says "commander in chief," Dems lose a few thousand more votes in November, no matter who the nominee is.

[Political Heretic]

56. chortle

[Catherine Vincent]

17. They were lined up for 10 hours?

That's pathetic.

[RBInMaine]

21. (Unless this sarcasm) No, that's called encouraging, refreshing, optimistic, and damn great to see.

[anigbrowl]

22. Yes, those glassy-eyed fools.

How dare they prefer him to her!

[Catherine Vincent]

28. My comment has nothing to do with Hillary.

I wouldn't wait in line 10 hours for nobody unless they paid me.

[EmilyAnne]

34. Well, aren't you above it all!

[Straight Shooter]

36. He's BARACK'ing the vote :)

[Catherine Vincent]

38. He's their American Idol? :)

[Straight Shooter]

41. He's the new millennium version of what campaigns are about.

Great packaging.

[anigbrowl]

40. OK, fair enough. How dare he be so popular!

[Straight Shooter]

42. Oh, come on, admit it. You like the pic.

:hi:

[progressive_realist]

53. Well apparently that's why Clinton is losing

Her followers aren't very committed and she doesn't have enough money to pay everyone to be enthusiastic.

[slinkerwink]

20. They want Barack!

[liberalmuse]

23. I have to admit that Obama has never impressed me.

I am so into feminism that I would love to see a female President. I've never been so torn in my life. I was for Kucinich, because he stands for exactly what I stand for. Then I was for Edwards, because he really is the next best thing to Kucinich. I have completely overlooked Barack Obama in the past. I did so because of his Senate votes. They pretty much match Hillary Clinton's votes. Besides, I grew up in the Mormon church, been here, done that. As a result, flowery speeches mean absolutely nothing to me. I have been very impressed with this man recently, and I am impressed at how he has been running his campaign. Don't get me wrong. If Hillary Clinton gets the nomination, I will vote for her, hands down, but I now want Barack Obama as my President. In taking a second, even third, fourth and fifth look at this man, I realize he is something special and I would LOVE for him to be our next President.

Disclaimer: Don't drink 4 shots of Jaegermeister and think that you will actually be able to post anything coherent.

[grantcart]

27. very nice post

[EmilyAnne]

35. Great post. The Jaegermeister didn't seem to do any damage!

[grantcart]

5. First 200 people get a ticket out of Oregon.

6. Free Nikes.

7. No lives at all.

8. See seven

9. It's Oregon...

10. They're trying to see which on of them could be the biggest D-bag for Obama.

[Straight Shooter]

39. Don't make me come over there and beat you up.

No one wants to leave Oregon once they come here.

:woohoo:

[Arugula Latte]

44. That was posted by someone who lives in Detroit!

:rofl:

[Straight Shooter]

45. Oh my.

:rofl:

[jconner27]

49. You sure shut me up

I have to say that comeback was amazing I mean did you use both hands to type it up or did you had one hand on the keyboard and the other down south doing something naughty during O-man speech on YouTube?

No need to try out for Hillary's #1 I see.

[jconner27]

50. Whatever u say

:wtf: you guys asked a question, I gave you guys what you want

[pettypace]

47. Brooks and Dunn music playing

Just saw the replay of Barack's Portland speech, and it concluded with the Brooks and Dunn Only in America tune playing during his handshaking....this is the same music President Bush utilized in 2004.

Interesting he's using this after Pastorgate.

[GoldieAZ49]

48. Hanna Montana has the same effect

fans will be fans but his core base will not get him elected

30 million voters in the primary

130 -140 million in the GE

and this fad will pass

[SunsetDreams]

52. :)

nah it won't pass

[FrenchieCat]

55. Why? Cause you think the Lady has a better chance?

I don't think she can even win the Primaries.

That fad has passed!

[F.Gordon]

51. I saw my first Obama concert back in 1971

Don't remember waiting in line that long though. Course'......
:smoke:

That dude rocks!!!
:yourock:

[kentuck]

54. What if ...?

these character attacks upon Obama don't work? What do we/they do then?
