Colorado's tickets to see Barack Obama's acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High were more than spoken for within about 24 hours, officials said, and the application process closed Thursday for all but those willing to be put on a waiting list.
Obama's campaign set aside for Colorado half of the more than 60,000 seats available to the public for the final night of the Democratic National Convention. It turns out the battleground state could have filled the stadium, as the campaign ended applications after collecting more than 60,000 Thursday afternoon.
"This incredible response and excitement shows that there is a huge appetite for change in Colorado," Anne Filipic, the general election director for the Campaign for Change, said in a statement.
The demand for the credentials was so great that phone lines were jammed much of the day.

Is there a free concert before and after?
Their luggage will get ruined by the Denver airport.
Sometimes I think the whole state of Colorado has gone postal.
Where did all of these nuts come from? California?
So, will Mr. Obama, in his acceptance speech say, once again, “We are the ones we have been waiting for.”
This line, like Mr. Obama’s message(whatever that is)is insipid.
I could have saved those folks the trouble . Here is what he is going to say. It is a great day for America to accept my hope and change.
Please God...make it cold and rainy..please please...
I want to see 70,000 Democrats dressed in yellow ponchos looking like condoms...

I bet a lot of them were bought by Osama’s campaign itself. He said he was going to bring in his “supporters” who couldn’t afford to pay from all over the country. In other words, he’s renting a mob.
“Is there a free concert before and after?”
That will take some investigating to find out. You won’t hear about it from our “normal” news sources.
The Denver Post is apparently an arm of the Obama campaign.
The crazier the better IMO.
But will the music acts all represent all the minority groups equally?
I hope its The Fatboys and NWA....boyeeeeee!

"Over the last 15 months, weÕve traveled to every corner of the United States. IÕve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go."
"Hold on one second, sweetie, we're going to do -- we'll do a press avail." --to a female reporter for ABC's Detroit affiliate who asked about his plan to help American autoworkers
Don’t be dissin” Dre and the Dogg.....
What is going to be more amusing is all those fat rats gasping for breath as they waddle into the stadium.

If ZerObama spoke the truth he would say “my hope is fear of the secret police. My change is socialism. My Socialism is the same as the old Socialism, but will be a change from your freedom.”
