OBAMA-BIDEN EVENT: Springfield, Illinois-LIVE THREAD
08/23/08

Posted on 08/23/2008 11:44:35 AM PDT by TornadoAlley3

Springfield, Illinois We just arrived at the state capitol. We’re told Biden is en route and on the plane Obama spokeswoman Linda Douglass told us that Obama called Biden Thursday night to offer him the job

It is literally 90 degrees warmer than it was on February 10, 2007. The lectern’s all set up with the new Obama/Biden logo. Obama's plane wasn’t changed – the tip that broke Kerry's choice of Edwards in 2004 -- it simply reads “Change We Can Believe In; www.barackobama.com"). A significantly smaller crowd has turned up for this event than the 17,000 for Obama’s presidential roll out....

I keep telling you kids that Barry will not be the nominee. ;) So let’s say that Barry is disqualified...would Joe become the nominee or would Mrs. Clinton? Or would there be a vote?

That, and they’ve been up all night waiting for their text messages, LOL. I still think the lack of enthusiasm is interesting.

Biden looks like hell and what he’s wearing looks sloppy for his “big moment.”

She was a typical white woman because she didn’t want to be harassed by a black panhandler.

I’ve seen 2 McCain stickers and about 60 Obama stickers. Also the side of an office building and a house ... with Obamania.

Biden doesn’t seem to be real enthusiastic now that he’s done telling us how terrible things have been

Lackluster duo...Not too impressive.

Hillary Biden may have been better.

Look on the bright side, they may all grow up to be Republicans, provided there still is a Republican party then.

That would make a great tagline or caption for a FReeper poster of Obama/Biden:

Obama/Biden: Instead of Ebony and Ivory, we have Arrogance and Insolence.

Didn’t Biden say he’d do away with middle class tax cuts?

He just stated that tax cuts are are what is destroying the middle class. (paraphrasing)

It’s too funny watching this ... The wrong guy came out on top, and the guy who with the experience should be on top has showed he could round up about 2% of the vote in national elections.

Doesn’t Biden know he’s been part of the problem in Congress since Nixon was president?

Yeah, the run up to the stage was very “gramps runs after the grandchildren.”
