1. Why no signs??????

[glowing]

2. So they can control the message.. At these rally's on both sides, there are NO

signs. That's just how it is.

[madfloridian]

3. Maybe they provide them.

That happened some in the 2004 election. If you let people bring signs, no telling what they might bring in some areas.

[glowing]

7. They do.. the hand made one's are provided too.. Vollunteers make them

up before the event.. They want control of the message on t.v... in a national election, everything is very controlled.. and this stage in the game, there are absolutely no chances being taken AT ALL. Last thing Obama needs behind him is 9/11 Truthers or CodePink (last rally, though, I did wear my button to the event.. too small to even get noticed on camera, so that was ok).. But the pink banners behind Obama would not be good at this time, and I know that.

4. they're handing them out maybe?........

........ so they have neat and tidy signs in the crowd and no janky homemade ones .......... I mean, i'm all about staying up the night before with the kids to make "We Love Obama" signs with glitter and magic markers, but do we really wanna give the Republicans their own "Mavrick" moment?

but then again ...... if there were any misspelled signs in the crowd, would any of the Republicans notice it?

Signs supplied by the campaign would be my guess.

(checking to make sure I didn't misspell anything before I hit the post button)

5. Man I'm super pissed... I have to work, cannot change my schedule

because I have to watch the kid that evening.. my hubby needs to work.. This is literally my backyard.. I am soooo pissed. Perhaps I will try to call off? I think I feel a cold coming on.

[ahem]

6. On a night that I can't get out of work!

Sad. Hope everyone else has a great night!

[glowing]

8. Its 10:30AM, Its not at night.

[ahem]

10. Oh, right! Thanks. Still, I'm working 10am-midnight on Wednesday

with two hours off in the afternoon (woohoo). Monday through Wednesday are crazy work days this week. I'm off Thursday through Sunday. Here's hoping there's an event I can travel to then.

13. looking more and more like a head fake

He didn't play basketball for nothing lol

11. Great ...I am gonna be there.

[Sensitivity]

12. Venue is kind of small --5,000. A lot of people who can't get in must be dissapointed

when they get locked out of theses small venues. Maybe there is visibility on the outskirts of the Park borders

14. I'll try to go, but I'll have to get there around 6am if I wanna get a spot.

15. I'll be there, even if it's 12 blocks away.

[Sensitivity]

16. any stream of event???
