2. I think we're beyond Depends now
I think we're in catheter country.

Yeah, that was an ugly image. Sorry.

Not to worry. Those airport rallies are just potty stops.

8. Yep, and there's gotta be like five people in Blountville!
Seriously! I dont even know where that is! But it's gotta be teeny. Of course I think the key word is "airport rally."

Clearly the plane will be out of fuel and in need of a stop. That's the only explanation.

12. Actually, now that I think about it, let ALL the Repubs come to TN!
I'll be happy to host McCain AND Palin and Todd and Piper and Willow and all of them ALL day long if it means keeping them out of Ohio, NOrth Carolina, Virginia and FL.

Seriously, they can hang out with me all day long, listen to me phone bank, watch Obama rallies with me.

I'll even share some pie!

It would be fun!

5. oh wow! You mean SOMEONE is coming to TN!!!
I was beginning to think we'd seceded and I missed the memo with the way we were being ignored.

(I understand WHY we were being ignored, but still.)

17. Yup still kinda pissed I've never gotten to go to an Obama rally cause he's never come to TN
I mean not that pissed but a little annoyed. Oh well, maybe I'll be living in a swing state in 2012.

28. I hope he does
Edited on Sun Nov-02-08 11:25 PM by Hippo_Tron
I mostly regret that I didn't get a chance to see him in the early primary stages when Secret Service wasn't so tight. I'm just worried that after he's elected it will be near impossible to go hear him speak. Not that I don't understand why he needs to take every precaution he can. Lots of nutjobs out there unfortunately.

34. Swing is the key, its just as bad if you live in a blue state
I don't think Obama made any appearances in my home state of NJ or even NY during the general election campaign (though he did during the primaries of course).

35. Scratch that, he's made "appearances" but for fundraising
I know I've gotten invites to various fundraisers he's had in NY and NJ, but I mean I don't think he's done any rallies in many of the safe blue states.

7. A rally "outside of" a stadium, followed by airport rallies
Yeah... That isn't showing any sense of desperation at all...

9. McCain will be lucky if he pulls in 1k per location, a fraction of Obama or Biden's rallies.
And it's pretty interesting.. flying in and out of airports like that. I honestly don't believe he has the stamina for that type of schedule.. unless he's getting blood transfusions and oxygen and drugs on the plane trips.

13. "Airport rallies?" He's going to talk during his layovers?


HAHAHAHA!



He's flying from Florida to Arizona...... and the stops in between are just to refuel the plane.


Funny shit.

14. my brother who lived in Tennessee for 9 years....
was saying Tennessee is more on the edge than people give them credit for. I realize there are a lot of racist bastards down there...but Bush only won by a couple percentage points over Kerry.

19. Concession speech
With that kind of schedule, Palin's going to have to give the concession speech. John won't last that long.

39. The thought is it'll play over the borders into NC and VA.
Problem is, if he wanted to that he should probably plan for better then an airport rally.
