Obama campaigning - in SC

[Skip Intro]

Wow, his opponent in IL is such a non-threat, he can campaign in the final week or so of an election cycle for others in other parts of the coutnry.

This is great.

Wonder if he's traveling throughout the south, which we've heard, Kerry has "conceeded" -?

2. Oh. My. God. I LOOOOOOVE THIS!

First the miserable failure, laughingstock "Wolves" ad, then Sinclair pulls it's punches, now Obama is campaigning OUTSIDE his state!

C'mon trolls, c'mon! Show your faces at DU TONIGHT!

WA-effin'-HOO! It's a fine, fine day!

6. He's been doing it for the past month

Obama is so far out in front he's been raising money to elect other Senate Democrats. Illinois is doing the nation a big service by sending Durbin and Obama to the Senate.

[no name no slogan]

14. Last I heard, he's ahead by 45%

...which is damn near impossible in a two-person race anyway!

However, I gotta hand it to Alan Keyes though...every time he opens his mouth, he just proves how fucking apeshit he truly is!

GO OBAMA!!!

Catch it soon; it's an embarrassment and will be gone by tomorrow, I suspect.

7. I was working...

in Springfield, IL during the debate between Obama and Keyes. It was crazy. I had to stay in a dump because all of the hotel rooms were full. Obama bumper stickers and yard signs were everywhere. There is no way Keyes has a chance in hell to win. He was so far in debt from campaigning before he moved to IL. I wonder how he will recover after he loses?

[Sugarbleus]

16. Wow, that was stupid. LOL Thanks for the link..

Take our most beautiful scenery and magnificent creatures..then turn it into a negative political ad??? Oh Brother, hahaahhh

8. I have never seen an Alan Keyes sign.

Truth be told, Obama doesn't even need to be in Illinois to win. Keyes was DISGRACEFUL in his last debate with Obama.

[CMO]

11. I see some...

Keyes signs when I'm working in IL but I never see them alone. They are always mixed in with a cluster of signs for other repubs running. They have extras at the repub office that nobody wants and they have to do something with them so they put them in empty fields.

9. How totally awesome.

I wish, I wish, I wish he would come to Texas. I fell completely in love with him during the convention.
I just did a quick google search and can't find any info on where he is going next. I would drive to Arkansas or Louisiana to see him.. SC is a wee bit too far.

10. I am going to this.........

Only about 36 miles from my house. Can't wait.

[mourningdove92]

13. Not Fair. I love Texas, but since everyone assumes we will go

red, no one comes to see us. Well, I take that back. Govenor Dean came. I didn't get to go see him, but wish I had.
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Sugarbleus]

17. Awwwww don't cry. We LOVE our Texas Dem patriots

:grouphug::loveya:

After Kerry wins, perhaps that will embolden more Texas Dems to change the attitudes down there a bit.

[RummyTheDummy]

12. WTF is he doing in South Carolina?

Get him in the damn swing states for Christ's sake.

[aquaman]

15. Well,

we actually have a tight senate race going on to fill Senator Holling's seat. So, he is welcome.

[RummyTheDummy]

18. That's great and all

But I'm worried about beating Bush. Obama needs to be in South Florida, Philly, Cleveland and Columbus. Seems to me he'd be more useful rallying the base in those areas than campaigning in some senate race we're probably going to lose anyway.

[aquaman]

20. I agree with you somewhat.....

Keep in mind that he is coming here likely to get out the African American vote. If this happens the Republican Nazi that is running for the senate seat is toast.

19. Obama ~

Does anyone know if his keynote speech is available anywhere?

I'd give anything to hear that again.. :loveya:
