P.S. What are the latest Obama/Keyes poll numbers? Or do the pollsters consider it waste of energy, LOL!

10. There has been quite a bit posted already.
The crowd grew tremendously after 8:30 PM......I was at the gate then....Had a damn Internet ticket. Apparently, Springfield's "insiders" got all the "VIP" tickets wherein they got in closer to to the podium. The worst was....we Internet ticket holders were placed next to a fucking high school band, way in the back. It did not matter that you came in early...! Too close for me....I was pisst; call the mayor on a cell phone....He was already up front and couldn't do anything.


But, the feel of the crowd was one of hope, strong support and loving. They too want their country back. Dennis Kucinich was there. I was too far back to pick-up who else was there and the band gave me a headache that I still have!


I knew the message would be a "go for the juggler." I really enjoy watching the rebroadcast of the Rally. I can see what I missed.

20. That's a winning ticket in '08 or '12.
I bet they would win in a landslide.

I'll have to see something more from Barack to support him. Barb has proved her cajones - now lets see him do it.

She loves it too, but I haven't had a crack at it.

16. Barack rocks!!
I supported him and voted for him out of a mass of 5 dem candidates. There was alot of hype about him here on DU after (and even before) the primaries and I was so thrilled during his keynote speech to see how well he delivered, and at the reaction of the out of staters, even skeptical ones, who confirmed I wasn't being a homey. I am so proud of him! Yes, we will all be happy to share him with the nation.

18. Love him love him LOVE HIM!
He truly is a breath of fresh air (unlike Nixon). He's intelligent, sincere, kind, thoughtful, just, eloquent and pretty easy on the eyes to boot. My friend at work is pregnant and a huge fan of Obama, so I made her a maternity t-shirt that says "Obama Mama" to wear to his speeches.

I wish Obama could be president right this instant.

Great hopes for this man! Let's just pray that he doesn't buckle under the insane amount of pressure placed upon him.

21. I heard from a police officer in the precinct where he lives
that all the officers were told to be vigilent because Obama is now on the "Wellstone list" -- yes that was the name they used.

I truly fear for him and his family. Repukes are so ruthless and evil.

28. I think he's pretty damn cool
Though I did just move here and know nothing more about him then what was said during the convention. He's a fantastic speaker - might be our first black president.

31. SOON I hope.
I know everyone says it's too soon to run in 2008 but I just don't know how much longer this country can survive with BushCo in power (and you just KNOW Jeb is trying to install himself in 2008)

32. Some help needed from Barack fans
He's getting trashed in a few threads, unfairly I think. Here's one that needs some help from his fans:

34. That's how much we love Obama!
Plus I kicked it a little while back. If you look at the dates they are all September 2004 or January 2005. I think it's a great thread so I kicked it back up.

35. it's all good
Though I have serious reservations about Kerry, post election, I do not feel one drop of shame for my vote for Obama. Nor my vote for my rep. either.

But folks are right about one thing here: this anti-Obama thing only shows that liberals and Democrats can be just as stupid as the Republicans and conservities sometimes.

36. At least conservatives stick together
One false move and Democrats are out for the blood of their representatives. It's no wonder we can't present a unified front.
