According to the Dayton Daily News, Sen. John McCain is still giving away tickets to his Friday rally where he will unveil his running mate. He's having trouble filling a 10,000 seat arena.

The contrast with Sen. Barack Obama giving a speech before 75,000 people tonight is striking and speaks to the excitement factor between the candidates. Obama tickets have been sold out for weeks.

1. Which is exactly why NO one should pay attention to these "neck and neck" polls.

Too early and they're full of bull paddies anyway.

After seeing 50 Obama bumper stickers, I finally saw a McCain bumpersticker . . . after 4 months of actively looking.

The right is about as enthused with McClown as they are with getting drafted.

3. I STILL have not seen any McCain bumperstickers

No McCain lawn signs around here either, though I see least one Obama sign on every street.
No one is wearing McCain buttons around here either, but I see a lot for Obama.

6. The modern GOP dosnt spend $ on stickers and lawn signs.

They spend money fixing elections.

16. Especially in MY state.

"Stickers? Lawn signs? Rallies? Hee hee hee . . . that's the 'OLD' way of doing things. Taxpayer money . . . well, money in general . . . is too precious a commodity to have it's fate decided by 'democracy' (hate that word). WE know what's best for you. So vote . . . if you feel it's necessary . . . hee hee hee . . ."

I bet the above statement is exactly how these wealthy bastards think.

14. I've seen exactly ONE bumper sticker and 3 lawn signs (all in the same yard) eom

[lonestarnot]

18. I saw one! I saw one! Snort!

:rofl:

[HughBeaumont]

20. "Sightings of this object are rare indeed, lonestarnot"

"We may see another dozen before November. I'm not optimistic . . ."



:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

2. The scalpers in Dayton will go broke.

4. mccain was in Wilkes-barre pa in July

booked the Kirby center

kirby center seats up to 2,000 - local news said about 600 people attended

this past saturday - pawlenty came to Dallas PA to meet with supporters.... one tiny followup article said he met with about 50 people

[notadmblnd]

5. Well I imagine it a little difficult to get all excited over names like Pawlenty, Romney or Lieberm

[SoCalDem]

7. Maybe they can move it to a Waffle House meeting room

:)

[radfringe]

10. I bet they could fill a corner in a mcdonald's kiddy party room.... n/t

8. You can see why they're making such a stink about Obama at Invesco

The jealousy is pretty transparent, unless of course your paycheck depends on your not seeing how envious the Republicans are of the excitement Obama and the Democrats are generating among the hoi polloi. In which case, you draw a fat salary to ask asinine questions about how Obama's appearance at a football stadium is "over the top" or similar stupid sentiments.

9. but don't forget McSame and his followers

think that Obama supporters are a bunch of stupid celebrity following sheep who don't have any substance.:sarcasm:

[ailsagirl]

11. Cool-- now that's really SAYING something!! LOL

Thanks for posting

[undeterred]

12. They should move it to a senior citizens center where nobody can leave

and maybe he will have some supporters there.

[gatorboy]

21. Unless it's bingo night.

Then they'll probably be pissed about the interruption.

[burythehatchet]

13. Really surprising considering how effective he was at the biker rally

there was one point where he started waving his left hand in a circle...he looked like the biggest fucking idiot ever.

[gatorboy]

19. Glad you mentioned that biker rally.

It's hilarious that the only way McCain could get a sizable audience to listen to him was to crash someone else's party.

[ladywnch]

15. they'll simply fly a bunch of people in from across the country to fill the seats

just like the did for the FL 'protests' back in 2001.

[lonestarnot]

17. Well he couldn't fill a room at Central High School in Phoenix either until

he got some dude I've never heard of to sing something. LOL

[lpbk2713]

22. Dennis Miller used to have to pay people to sit in his audience.

McLame might have to do the same.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ullad]

23. Additionally, the wheater is not going to cooperate - Poor Guy LOL

Gustav is going to put a hurting on the festivities

[TahitiNut]

24. Bodies will be bussed in from Wright-Patterson. Count on it.

:puke:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

25. This must be the one and only time a DU thread title included the sentence "Obama sold out"

and the OP wasn't flamed to hell and back. :spank:
