30,000 in Hollywood, Florida right now greeting Obama...

[Drunken Irishman]

[Faith9326]

1. I have a feeling

Obama will take Florida.

[BlueState]

3. I hope your right

These long lines we are seeing for early voting have to be a good thing.

[hrmjustin]

2. I wish I could go to one of those rallies. We get no rallies in NY.

[marezdotes]

6. Me too. I live in NY, (Upstate).

[redwitch]

22. Upstate NY here too.

[marezdotes]

51. Hi

[Grateful for Hope]

9. I was just thinking this.

Seems kind of unfair to us in NY.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

10. Life isn't fair....

Bill Clinton was in my town on Friday and Hollywood, FL is about an hour south of me...nothing could induce me to go to a rally. But swing states pay a high price for all this "attention" My mail is crammed daily with political ads, my television has been taken over by the likes of Allen West as well as Romney....I'm even sick of the Obama ads now as there have been so many of them for so long. Dealing with voter suppression is something you don't have to worry about in Bay Ridge....

[RichGirl]

18. Get over it!

Put the ads in recycling and read a book...and stop your whining. Some people have real problems.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

28. What's your problem?

I wasn't whining....The ads go into recycling, I probably read 5 times the number of books you read and everyone has problems...real and imagined. Grow up.

[madmom]

35. Yeah, Like voter suppression! I live in Ohio, we get all the

candidates, but we also get all the shit as well as the good. I'd say it all works out about even.

[skeewee08]

11. Imagine how I feel, i'm in Oklahoma...

[JB126]

24. Ugh!

I'm really sorry.

[skeewee08]

31. Thank you JB.....

[freshwest]

37. Also,. Such wonderful countryside, overtaken by... well, you know...

Stay strong...

[GoCubsGo]

42. Not hard to imagine.

I live in South Carolina, and get most of my TV from Georgia.

[JB126]

23. None in PA either

All we get is stupid Romney.

[skeewee08]

32. Thank goodness he didn't come here

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. If Obama went to Manhattan he would pack Central Park to overflow capacity....

Romney would only be able to get enthusiasm from the traders if he rang the opening bell at the Stock Exchange.

[Historic NY]

30. Me Three...

Can't even knock on the Big Dawg's house he ain't home...he is out fighting for a President that won't hide his budget from the American people.

[cyclezealot]

39. Why do the idiots in the Red States like the electoral College

When was the last time Mittens visited Kansas.. They get overlooked too for those half dozen or so swing states.
Having a Senate that is unrepresentative should be enough to balance the so called influence of the small states with fewer Congress -members.

[hrmjustin]

40. They do not want to break tradition.

[cyclezealot]

50. One benefit of not living in a battleground state.

All the stinking attack ads we don't have to hear. Since , the conventions the candidates have only visited 10 states.
Could it be , either side might suffer by taking the other 40 for granted.

[underthematrix]

4. I'm watching right now - AMAZING CROWD!!

[Fawke Em]

5. Damn enthusiasm gap.

(I'll post this to every thread showing how Obama does NOT have an enthusiasm gap, despite the media shills' claim.)

[barbtries]

25. me too

what i say is enthusiasm gap my ass!

[Grammy23]

7. Anyone got pictures? It would be a great push back to those (CNN)

saying his crowds are getting smaller. Wolf Blitzer to be exact.

I am in NW FL but nobody is coming here. In 2008 Michelle came here and I went to hear her speak. Awesome and everyone left so fired up and ready to vote!! It was a big thrill and I'm sorry none of the big names came here.

[Drunken Irishman]

17. I added a photo.

[skeewee08]

8. They are fired up!!!!!

[smorkingapple]

12. I live in Hollywood that's GREAT!!!!

[MFM008]

21. Can you see them???

[dennis4868]

13. I'm there now

President is speaking!

[skeewee08]

14. keep us posted on the enthusiasm dennis....

[simmonsj811]

15. Where!!

i already voted and i need to get to the ocean to go fishing tonight it has been a ruff week for me

[Sedona]

46. Is that TY Park?

[KaryninMiami]

16. I was there- the line was MILES long- amazing- but long- people waited 4 hours or more

We left - too hot and we were not sure we would get in because we arrived too late. But it was very incredible seeing the lines and the fired up people waiting in the hot sun to see the Pres. And many of them waited up to 4 hours to vote in Florida too. People are Fired UP!

[Cha]

19. I bet it was Amazing seeing all those people come out for Democracy

this close to the election, KaryninMiami!

[Phx_Dem]

20. Someone should tell that tool Blitzer

to pull his head out of his ass and look around!

[SoapBox]

41. I think he's better looking (and sounding) if he

leaves his head up his ass!

[ProfessionalLeftist]

26. I hope they all get to vote

'cause it's not looking great right now for that!

[LibGranny]

27. To the Sooner -

I'm in Jayhawk Nation! Never has a candidate visited (except may Dole?). LOL

[Larry in KC]

38. I'm just across your state line in KC...

...and I also work in Kansas. As always, there's never a candidate there, but last time we did get to rally with Obama. In fact, those were close friends who had Barack in their HOUSE as he watched Michelle at the convention!

But now, it breaks my heart that Missouri's a write-off, so no rallies for us this time, either.

Along with my proud but not swing-state vote for Obama, though, maybe I'll also cast the deciding vote for Claire, and that would be pretty darn satisfying.

[LibGranny]

45. Yeah, I donated to Claire the last

election and was so glad she won! It was Limpball who pushed me over the edge with her and his attacks on Michael J. Fox!

[Larry in KC]

48. Me, too!

I hadn't thought recently about that freakshow. It makes my skin crawl. I must say, the Republicans do keep giving Claire their "help".

[smorkingapple]

33. You sure that's the right pic? That does not look like the HS stadium

The video I watched earlier had a crowd directly behind him. Double check please.

[Kikomom]

43. Looks right

I was there and it looks like what he was wearing and you can see the palm trees there. We waited on line for 3 hours and the line literally went in for miles. We were late so did not get inside the stadium. We sat outside in a field and watched the screen. It was just good to be there. Charlie Christ was there and the crowd loved him and of course Debbie Wasserman Schulz, the rally was in her district and I am happy to say that I am now in her district and she will soon be my representative. Very upbeat and determined mood overall. The president seemed tires but cranked it up at the end, he was hoarse.

This is a very strenuous process and it takea lot of effort to turn up for a rally like this. It had to be at least 25k people and they were so happy they cheered the motorcade aftwrwards even though everyone was tired and hot.

If we lose Fl it won't be by much and it won't be because the dems did not show up.

[hrmjustin]

44. Welcome to DU my fiend!

[Pamelajaynn]

34. amazeballs!

Love Obama! He is bringin it!!

[spiral]

36. spiral

just made a $10 bet that obama wins florida

[zebe83]

47. I went to a sold out one in Pittsburgh during the 2008 election

and it was one of the most energetic days of my life!!

[dem1977]

49. Caller on CSpan said there were only 2k at the rally... grasping .....

[faithfulcitizen]

52. So that's what 30,000 really looks like!
