HOLY BAT ENDORSEMENTS! 100 bucks to the person who will actually count these up and tell us

how many endorsements Barack Obama has according to this webpage alone?

Look at that, that is a crazy long list. Actually pretty incredible. In fact, maybe I'll just point this out if anyone ever tells me they're "afraid" of Obama again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_endorsements

Look at the section of actors, directors, comedians, musicians, and athletes alone.

And then spend another hour just to scroll through the entire page.

Seriously, a hundred bucks to the person who can count these up and tell me how many endorsements that is. (figuratively... but I would give a hundred bucks out if I had that kind of money right now)

2. Thanks tblue!

:hi: I've been lurking for several months now, but just recently started actually posting.

3. You know, it would be faster to count the people who do NOT endorse Barack Obama.

Keep posting. It's fun! Makes you feel like you're not alone and you're not going out of your mind.

5. LOL! That is so funny and true. Ha!

And thanks, it definitely does. This forum has some kind of therapeutic effect on me because my wife, while a Dem, isn't really into politics much, and most of the rest of my family are religious right-wingers.

6. I don't believe you could have counted all those up already

And I swear, that number has to be at least a thousand, right??

[applexcore]

8. I just looked at the number of sources lol

Theres 930 sources or footnotes.

[SunsetDreams]

7. there is more than 1 endorsement in some of those links

The links # 930, but that is not even close.

[applexcore]

10. Yea, #317 has like 20 endorsements

So the actual number is at least more than 1000

[thenext8seconds]

12. Yeah, I see that also....

I think the only way to count all those endorsements up is the hard and long way :crazy:

[thenext8seconds]

9. you can't just count up how many links there are...

I mean there's links to all sorts of articles such as "Cleveland, OH"

[thenext8seconds]

11. Oh I know what you mean by the 930 now....Yeah a lot of the people on that list

16. So many impressive figures on that list.

You look at the "Academics" section and it's amazing to see all those Nobel Laureates.

Compare this to John McCain's list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_John_McCain_presidential_campaign_endorsements#cite_note-49

Pretty pathetic.
