Channel 4 News in Denver, CO is reporting that the Obama campaign has been lying about tickets to the Obama speech at Invesco Field in Denver, CO.

Reporters discovered a hidden link on the Obama website targeted to known high dollar donors. The Obama campaign solicited those donors for $1000.00 in exchange for tickets to the event.

This is directly contrary to what Obama's campaign claimed.

In the past half hour, the talking heads on Fox all said they think O is going to pick Hillary as VP. What happened?

I'll tell you what happened, he realizes he cannot get elected without Hillary's supporters. He doesn't want HILLARY, but he NEEDS her votes! I predicted this months ago when he was beating her.

If it costs $1,000 for the Club Seats how much is it to get within tomato-throwing distance?

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Why would Hillary want to accept the VP slot?

As things stand now, Obama is a loser. If Hillary becomes Obama’s running mate, she will also become a two-time loser.

One-—she lost to Obama.

Two-—she lost on an Obama/Hillary ticket.

The Clintons are ruthless, but they are not stupid.

I hope you’re right. But if she’s chosen, I think we’ll have to fight a bit harder to get McCain elected, don’t you?

[GitmoSailor]

I will get you too little darling!!!!!!!!.....

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Not really.

All of Hillary’s negatives have been put on hold for the past 3 months.

It will be very easy to pull them out of the bag.

IMHO I feel you are right. I have been saying this for months. Obama was the Dems "sacraficial lamb" (or insert animal of choice). They promoted him when the heat and bad PR on Hillary became too hot. They let him steal the spotlight, and knew he was not qualified and the Hillary supporters continued their plans to destroy his credibility. Given enough rope, they also knew Obama would hang himself. They also knew that putting him out there would bring in the much needed vote of minorities that they were losing. The Dems really knew he was/is not qualified to lead a country, but it gave them more time to be the party in the news and keem most of the focus off of McCain and the Republican Party.

Obama is proving just exactly how lost at this game he is. He certinly is not equipped to play in the field with the big boys with their years of experience in dirty politics. I feel that he was used, and is too stupid to even know it. They let him hang out to dry, and suffer the exposure of his questionable background, associations, voting record, etc. by the prying eyes of the public and some media. That kept Hillary from being even more tarnished and kept the rumblings about her record out of the news. It has also made many feel she looks much better now than the upstart, Obama. In the last minute, after all the luster from Obama is washed off, they will bring in Hillary as the savior of the Dem Party. No one is safe as a candidate who challenges the Clintons and their machine. As you feel, and IMHO, this was all planned.

Everyone who applied for those 30,000 free tickets under the “community credential” program got shafted by Obama. No one seems to have gotten any of those tickets.

I'm waiting for the bottom to drop out of his donations if his poll numbers keep dropping beause nobody is going to pour money down a hole. It would be justice if all of that money he counted on having doesn't pan out.

I was stunned to hear the Denver reporter say that when they copied the link it took them to the “secret site” and that after they asked the campaign about it the site mysteriously disappeared.....

the only possible scenario is to raise $60mm (60,000 x 1,000) so hillary has an instant war chest and zero debt.
