[Zachstar]

18. Thanks for the heads up! Tho I wish CNN would stop using their retarted plugin and use Modern Flash

As with the latest update it can use Mpeg 4 meaning that they can use vastly less bandwidth and use a player the people on youtube use.

19. Mentions Hershey's plant moving.

Strong response elicited (some people shouting out).

That's sad.

[my3boyz]

45. The Hershey plant is moving?????????????

That is a shame. Where are they moving it to? I spent a long weekend in Hershey a few years ago. It is such a beautiful place. We loved Hershey park too.

[Tatiana]

46. I think he said Mexico :-( n/t

[Zachstar]

20. The independence from politics of the past line people really like!

[Zachstar]

21. Massive applause as he said it is time to turn the page.

[Zachstar]

22. Applause as he says Bush is not on the ballot.

And the cousin Dick Cheney line

[Tatiana]

23. Obama is back to the stump speech. This crowd loves it.

They are really energized!

[Tatiana]

24. "That's what John McCain is offering... a third Bush term!" n/t

[Zachstar]

25. Says he is not worried and says that democrats will be united in November

[milkyway]

26. "It's time to turn the page and write a new page in American history." Standing O.

Sometimes these kind of seemingly generic platitudes make a powerful statement. He was speaking of politics of the last couple of decades, and he really does mean to change this country, not so much policy-wise, which are typical dem policies, but what kind of people and what kind of country we are. An Obama presidency will deeply transform America and its people. We will become a different nation.

[Zachstar]

27. Lobbyists not part of the system they are part of the problem.

[Tatiana]

28. Obama making closing argument.

Clinton says the say anything, do anything special interest politics in Washington... that's how it has to be. She's been in Washington longer, she knows how to play the game better. Clinton says lobbyists are real people and they represent real people.

Drug and insurance companies have spent over $1 billion on PR and on lobbying. Why is it that we don't have health care that covers all? The legislation is written for them, not you.

[Zachstar]

29. People happy about how lobbyists will not run his white house.

[Zachstar]

34. Not running to play the game running to end the game plan!!

GOBAMA!!

[milkyway]

30. This new line of attack--Clinton argues this is the way the game is played and she can play

it better, but I want to put an end to the game playing--is very strong. And it allows him to turn around anything negative against him--"there they go again," with "they" being Clinton, McCain, or the media. All the bullshit attacks like Ayers, lapel pins, etc. only proves his point.

[Tatiana]

33. I love it. It's absolutely true and that's what makes this argument so effective.

What a smart candidate Obama is.

[milkyway]

31. "Our campaign's not perfect. You get elbowed enough, eventually you're going to elbow back."

[milkyway]

32. Speaking of repug tactics: "You don't want us to become like them."

[Zachstar]

35. Who do you want answering the phone at 3AM met with huge applause and cheers of OH-BA-MA

[milkyway]

36. The crowd goes nuts! "That 3am phone call--of the three candidates, two of 'em got it wrong on Iraq

and one got it right."

[Zachstar]

37. Ending to calls of YES WE CAN!!

[milkyway]

38. Speaking as a person whose Dad left when he was two...a baby cries out..."I know, it's tough

if you're father leaves."

Barack's great with these ad libs.

[Voice for Peace]

39. thanks, just in the nick of time! nt
