I actually think Obama is rolling the dice a bit with this.  It’s a good idea if he can pull it off, but what if he can’t fill the stadium?

As if the media would show any pictures of empty seats.  It’s a risk free environment for him.

1% of Americans pay 40% of the income tax.
5% of Americans pay 60% of the income tax.

What TW said and add that he’ll probably have someone like the Decemberists open for him.

All Obama has (hopefully it isn’t enough for him to get elected) ia his ability to mesmerize the masses.  On that basis he is sort of like Adolf Hitler.

One of the most important talents for success in politics is the ability to make utter nonsense sound not only plausible but inspiring. Barack Obama has that talent. We will be lucky if we escape the catastrophes into which other countries have been led by leaders with that same charismatic talent.

Can’t say that I agree with their politics, but the Decemberists are a pretty decent band.

Ken,

So I gather, which explains the 75,000 that showed up at the Oregon concert in May.  Oh, and Obama was there also.

Heck the Messiah should be able to fill two stadiums if he is as popular as he feels he is.

The Pepsi Center just wasn’t big enough to contain the Obamadable’s ego.

It’s funny to me that you keep writing about the thousands of people that show up for Obama rallies like it’s a bad thing.  You and your party are just jealous that your terribly aging candidate can’t get all the geezers from the old folks home out of their rooms to meet the candidate for social hour in the cafeteria.

Your readers seem to be quite dense and I think it’s hilarious that they are republicans and flaunting their “redneck” blogs.  That just speaks for itself.  And the Hitler comment was just plain asinine.

...your terribly aging candidate can’t get all the geezers from the old folks home out of their rooms to meet the candidate for social hour in the cafeteria.

The above is coming from a person who fancies himself as tolerant and liberal.

The only thing liberal about the commenter above is the assumptions and insults made. The commenter is liberally presumptuous, filled with an undeserved sense of his own importance.

“H” - it’s probably best if you stick to what you know, not what you think you know.

Good day, sir. And by the way, I’m sure that McCain wouldn’t hold your decades younger inexperience against you. He has more class than that. One can hope that you’ll one day attain that level of class by the time you’re of “terribly aging” age.

H,

So… nothing better to offer than ad hominem stereotypes?  So much for the depth of your intellect!

At least when McCain is addressing older voters (who DO vote) he doesn’t re-arrange his audience by age… or race… as Obama has been caught doing on a number of occasions, just to enhance the photo op.  McCain, as far as I know, has not yet shuffled some Black Muslims out of camera view in favor of a few more young white chicks.

McCain is unquestionably too moderate in many of his policy positions for most conservatives… especially those of us here SAB.  But at least he isn’t spending from here to November throwing everyone from his past under the bus in a desperate effort to cover his radical past and present himself as someone, or something, he isn’t… as is Barack Obama.
