I wonder if he'll invite George Clinton and Bootsy to the white house...

[jefferson_dem]

14. That would be grande. A real mothership connection (in a the "Democratic" sense, that is).

The Godfather would have been thrilled.

13. Thanks seafan

I missed his appearance in Daytona. :-(

[my3boyz]

16. I can't stand Bill Nelson. He looks like a damn corpse and I don't

like the way he behaved during the primary season. Then he basically says Barack can't win if he does not win Florida. He said whoever wins Florida will be president.

[butterfly77]

38. Both of the Nelson senators are...

Republicons,DINO's or what other name you call them when they do everything republicons do and give them everything they want..

[Hope And Change]

[Dudley_DUright]

21. Good thing I have my trusty fender strat

so I can groove along. :yourock:

[gateley]

22. ....

:yourock:

I have a fondness for Strats...

[parasim]

24. That's funny... I was just doing the same on my keyboard.

I do wish I had my strat with me though, because that's the ultimate funk instrument. (that and the Jazz Bass)

[Dudley_DUright]

28. I noticed a lot of the songs are in A-flat

which is probably the easiest key on a keyboard.

[lamp_shade]

19. Any minute now.

[Patsy Stone]

25. The music is kickin'

but I wish he'd show up already.

[FrenchieCat]

26. Gotta give the People what they want!

You gotta give the people, give the people what they want!

We want Barack Obama!

[grantcart]

31. CNN is also to show some of it---Malveaux reporting

He might be speaking to the 8,000 outside briefly first---he does that a lot, when there is overflow---especially that many.

[seafan]

32. OBAMA UP
