OBAMA-BIDEN EVENT: Springfield, Illinois-LIVE THREAD

08/23/08

[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....

Biden - “Baraks mother taught him fundamental values of American way of life.”

She left her son whenever she could. Good fundamental values.

Tagline has been duly updated. Thanks

What are PUMA girls?

[CaptRon]

but after visiting '57 states', Iraq and Europe, Biden thinks B. Hussien Obama can lead America.

Not only that, but maybe get the total up to 60..65 states!

"The minute I saw Bob and the way he was slumped over the desk with an unkempt appearance and no jacket I knew something was wrong."

He just said he couldn't understand why Hillary wasn't on the ticket, that she could have presented the party's message just as good as Biden. So it looks like Beckel is a Hillary supporter who's not too happy with Biden on the ticket.

“Now they just need someone fat and they could be the “Fat, Drunk and Stupid” ticket.”

Hillary declined the invite. ;-)

Look what Rush did for that young boy and his book, from waaaaaaaay down past 540,000 in ranking to #5 at Amazon. Think of what Rush could do with a “George’s Bake Sale and Hut Warming” event.

[defconw]

LOLOLOLOLOL!

[skr]

Good catch, it certainly does!

[freepersup]

OK for OK! Thanks just the same! Somehow I took it, that you were present in IL. I am glad (in the end) choosing not to attend the live event, as I am enjoying the play by play with all the freepers too much. The CNN live feed link was very helpful too.

[EagleandLiberty]

CNN says Biden will explain his earlier statement that Obama is not ready to lead:)

Get ready for a huge gaffe as Biden tries to improv on that one.

Biden is trying to find a speech he can PLAGIARIZE to say what a honor it is to be a MARXIST running mate!

p.s. Have you figured out where Kentucky is yet, DOOFUS?

[popdonnelly]

“Wasn’t a Kennedy doing the pickling?”

In Biden’s case, it may have been the pickling.

[fullchroma]

Thanks.

“Party Unity My A$$” Heh heh. I like it.
