Is there somewhere I can watch all of obama's speech. The NC and the rain one aren't on obamas youtube account. =/
man, i want to get on the hopium train, but after the last 2 elections, I just can't.
I have learnt never to underestimate the republican party's dirty tricks nor to overestimate the intelligence and attention span of the general american populace.
Godspeed everyone! I am with you until the end.
Obama MUST maintain this lead for the next 8 years.

5 weeks is a looong time. Just think about where we were a mere two, three weeks ago.
Bill Clinton beat the Republicans to a pulp with two landslide victories just last decade, it isn't as impossible as you think.Thai said:man, i want to get on the hopium train, but after the last 2 elections, I just can't.

Standing in line
While we were standing in line, people were selling hats, buttons, t-shirts, and yes, even Obama towels. What I thought was most smart, was that I saw two people going up and down the line asking anyone if they haven't registered to vote, they can do so now by filling out a form. I had the most energetic 79 year-old waiting next to me mum and I. She was "FIRED UP AND READY TO GO" more so than any other person I could see. She was yelling out stuff like "Come on, get this line moving! I want to see the Man!" and "Hurry up! Let's go! Let's go!" etc. Sad part about the whole thing is she fainted while Obama was speaking.
Gotta feel sorry for her.
Me waiting in line:
And across the street Hootie was selling hot-dogs. Hootie, why didn't you tell me you sold hot-dogs!
After about an hour and a half of waiting, the line finally started to move. We came to a point where the Obama people had the line going in a huge zig-zag pattern. I don't know the reason why, but I can guess it made the line move faster and allowed for more people to get through more quickly.
Having gotten pass the metal detectors without incident, we arrived at the place where Obama was going to speak at about 11:20, so we didn't have to wait long. Horrible music played throughout the entire time we were waiting, gah, I was so relieved when Obama and Biden finally came out and spoke.
Pictures while we waited for Obama and Biden, the first of which are of the building where Obama and Biden were waiting to come out of at the appropriate time:
As you can see, there were a lot of people there. Those that arrived a little to late were barricaded off from the first half of the crowd:
Dude on roof:
North Carolina for Change:
Picture of American flag while people are still coming.
And finally a picture of me mum and I while we were waiting.
People were so ravenous to get a hold of some signs. It was crazy.
At long last Obama and Biden came out. There was a lot of screaming which hurt my ears a little, and a sign-waving.
Biden, as I had expected, spoke first. He mainly spoke of how Afghanistan should have been our focus all along and other things relating to foreign policy.
Then it was Obama's turn. He mainly spoke about the economy and last night's debate. Saying that John McCain didn't mention the middle class once, Obama's tax cuts will bring relief to 95% of Americans, health care issues, etc.
And then Obama was done speaking, the crowd goes wild, and he and Biden start waving to the crowd as they walk off stage. Hands down this is the best picture I took:
All and all, I had a really fun time. It was exciting, there were a lot of black people there, almost as many as white people, as well as a lot of young people. Because of this, I can see Obama taking NC is a huge possibility.

Smart move.Tobor said:
I just want to say, youtube and 538 have made this election a million times more fun than 2004. I am sure that having a talented candidate running a great campaign helps too, but those two really have made a world of difference in the flow of information and in following the overall status.
Well, I guess that whole point about town halls was that McCain wanted free publicity, so I can almost see it make sense in McCainworld, but then, just because he got the free publicity doesn't mean he'd have dismissed the kind you pay for. But, because he didn't get his ten free town halls, he's having to resort to a series of cheap stunts to get his free attention. Good times. And yeah he's dodging the question.guess said:
Newsweek cover is pretty huge. I really think we could be seeing a tipping point this week, especially if the Biden-Palin debate reinforces the trend from crazy old man suspension and Obama's performance Friday. This combined will all of the demographic and ground game factors already favoring Obama = !!!
Next four you mean. The first four may unfortunately be much more difficult than the last fourThai said:man, i want to get on the hopium train, but after the last 2 elections, I just can't.

I'll be driving up from Richmond, most definitely.
Oh man you from Richmond? What part? Are you going to help Obama win VA too?

My mom and I were talking earlier today and this was running through my mind as we watched McCain on ABC. I said "Wonder how different the world would be if Gore was elected..."Tobor said:
It's two and a half weeks until the voter registration deadline here in West Virginia and several polls have suggested that Obama has a possibility of winning here if turnout in the bigger towns here is high. I've done some volunteer work at the Huntington office, but that "Bad Day" ad has scared the shit out of me so I'm going to work my ass off over the new few weeks trying to register as many people as possible.
P.S.: I was driving by a pawn shop the other day and they had one of those LCD signs outside next to the road, and I remember it saying something like "Get your guns before Obama does." :lol

I could switch to something new, but I like it as throw back to the Obama v. Clinton days.
It's even more painful now than it was 4 years ago. 8 fucking years of opportunity costs for enormously important issues lost as we dug a hole on insane wars, tax cuts, a ridiculous housing bubble, and an administration devoid of basic scruples and competence. I sometimes wonder how people who voted for Bush in 2000 sleep at night.dr3upmushroom said:
