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....

cnn has a two minute video on the website of Obama’s introduction.

It’s the beginning of the intro. Not the end.

Because the end has him introducing Biden as the next President of the United States.

another in-kind campaign contribution from the mainstream media.

I thought for sure the Dem’s couldn’t pick a worse ticket after that dork (who served in Viet Nam) and his pansy side kick lost four years ago.... I wonder if DU will go into lockdown/suicide watch for three days again?

Beckle just said on Fox that “there’s nobody better than Joe Biden to start class warfare”.

Hillary just sent out this email:

Dear TA3,

I want to congratulate Joe Biden on becoming the vice presidential running nominee. Joe is a friend and colleague, a strong experienced leader and a devoted public servant. I look forward to not only seeing him in Denver next week but on the trail as I work to help Barack Obama and Joe Biden along with many other Democratic candidates campaign this fall.

Democrats are going to have a great and unified convention in Denver next week, and I can't wait to be there. I am looking forward to visiting my friends and colleagues from New York, stopping by events like the Emily's List reception, and doing everything I can to champion Barack Obama along the way. Of course, I will also be getting ready for my speech to the convention on Tuesday night. You can see for yourself by following my convention activities on our website at HillaryClinton.com, as well as on social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter.

And I'm very excited to meet Joseph Gerou, a second grade teacher from Kenosha, Wisconsin, who won our contest and will be joining me in Denver. I am looking forward to hearing more from him and so glad he can join me for this historic event.

I can't thank everyone enough for your generous support over the past few weeks. It means so much to me personally to know that I can count on your continued friendship as I work hard to help elect Barack Obama and our other Democratic candidates in 2008. I wish you could all come with me to Denver. So I hope you will do the next best thing and stay tuned. Please keep coming back to the website to see all we are doing. I will be updating you regularly with photos, video, email and more.

This is going to be a week to remember filled with many memorable and exciting moments as Democrats come together. I hope you will join me in celebrating.

Thank you again for your hard work and your generous spirit.

Sincerely,

Hillary

Pardon my edit:

I thought for sure the Dem’s couldn’t pick a worse ticket after that openly traitorous dork (who did face-time in Viet Nam for a future political career)...

Joe Biden provides an example as to why there should be term limits on congressman. He is a poster boy for the “out of touch” and “out of time” crowd in Washington. I have followed him for years starting with the Watergate Hearings.

I don’t adhere to the “everything is fair in love and politics” mantra. As he mentioned, in his less than factual speech, he and McCain are very good friends. With friends like Biden, who needs enemies.

Let the fun begin. Obama blew his White House bid today. Unless, of course, George Soros can figure out a way to tank the stock market in the month before elections. In that case, all bets are off.
