Hillary Clinton in Dallas tomorrow?

[crispini]

My friend got an email about this event, and I found it on her website, but I have not gotten the email myself yet and have not heard anything else about it, so I am wondering how "firm" the event is? Anyway I may go.

1. It's in the Dallas Morning Snooze, so it must be true

6. Are you going? It's super-close to you.

I'll probably try to go. :D

7. It's close to me, too

I was actually thinking about making a deposit at that bank on my way to East Dallas, but I think I'll wait 'til I get to a branch in Lakewood!

I may start out a little early and go by there, but it's a terrible location. If turnout is anything like the Obama rally, it'll backup access to I-35 as well as downtown, since some of us use Zang to get into downtown.

8. It's a very quiet rally

Only those of us who are really paying attention are going to get the news. So we're going to try getting there just a wee bit early and see what the traffic's like.

9. Yeah, I guess I should

I'm so swamped at work, but this week has been historic. One of these senators will be our next president!

[crispini]

10. Exactly! Can't miss these opportunities!

Work will wait! :rofl:

2. Tried link, got error message

"We're sorry. There was an error with your request. Please try to select a new page from the navigation."

I got a robo call with the same information (from a 512-area code number). The Dallas Morning News editorial blog (http://dallasmorningviews.beloblog.com), under "Clinton Does Dallas" says:

Barack Obama set a high bar in Dallas with yesterday's spectacle. The record crowds, the all-star supporters, the swooning. No doubt the Clinton campaign saw the line forming at 4 a.m. outside Reunion arena and said, "We can't compete with that."

So, it was a near certainty that when Hillary Clinton made her way to Dallas, she would settle for a scaled-down event. Any attempt to fill the AAC, Reunion Arena or even a Collin County Community College event room (Huckabee's venue of choice) would leave open the possibility of an empty seat and of comparisons to Obamapalooza where hundreds were turned away.

So, with that in mind, what's a candidate to do? Apparently, the answer is to find a spot with no seats and no determined capacity. And Clinton has. Our Trailblazers blog reports that Clinton will be appearing tomorrow at a parking lot in Oak Cliff. (400 S. Zang at 9:30 a.m. if you're interested)

A parking lot -- I guess that's one way to avoid Obama comparisons.

It doesn't seem very likely that Hillary Clinton would stand in a parking lot greeting people, as if she was Diana Lackey, Jaime Cortes, Don Adams, or whoever. If she does try that, she's even more out-of-touch with people like me than I think she is!

3. Yeah, odd venue choice.

But, I may give it a go. :hi:

4. The link's working!

Guess it's for real.

5. So, if she's speaking in the parking lot...

...where are we supposed to put our cars?
