"Plans are in place for the senator from Arizona to reveal his pick for the GOP vice presidential nominee at an Ohio rally Friday, the day after Sen. Barack Obama formally accepts the Democratic presidential nomination.

"The McCain campaign is hoping to have 15,000 people at the Ohio event, roughly five times the size of his largest crowd to date."


- - - - -

I LOLd. So his largest crowd to date has been approximately 3,000 people? That sounds pathetic.

[gateley]

1. I think Obama should hold a rally a few blocks away at the same time --

in a venue for 30,000 or so. :evilgrin:

[The Wielding Truth]

9. How can the polls be so close?No one really cares for him.

[n2doc]

2. The only way he gets 15K is if Faux and CNN send all their employees

Or he hands out free beer. His wife could arrange the latter!

[book_worm]

3. So his largest crowd so far has been 3,000

:rofl:

No wonder he is jealous of Obama.

[TK421]

4. Actually...15,000 is fairly optimistic

since I think the oxygen tanks and Hovarounds are included in that number

21. Now, now -- don't be Rascal-ist!

And now I'm just picturing McBus-in being chased by angry seniors on scooters a la George Costanza. :rofl:

[Vinca]

5. Sludge says McCain is going to leak the name tonight at 6

with confirmation at 8 p.m. What an asshole.

[Virginia Dare]

7. Yeah but..

sludge also said Bayh was Obama's pick.

[Vinca]

12. Yes, but considering the way the McBush campaign is operating,

this sounds like the truth. At least Mother Nature is going to take care of their convention with a hurricane - or 2 or 3.

[Virginia Dare]

16. True, I don't think it takes a "genius" like sludge..

to predict that McLameass is going to leak this to try and steal some of Obama's thunder. Ridiculous and childish.

[democrat2thecore]

17. I am guessing that's probably right. I agree with your conclusion. -nt

[beac]

22. Is it still a "leak" if you've leaked that you are going to leak it??

What a total asswipe McBus-in is!

[Virginia Dare]

6. I heard it was 12,000 and they're having trouble giving the tickets away..n/t

[TexasObserver]

11. They're going to have to do better than tuna sandwiches to fill that venue.

They got a hundred octogenarians to show for tuna sandwiches a while back.

They're going to have give burial plots away to fill 12,000 seats.

15. I heard that...

If you buy a ticket to the Jackson County fair you get 2 free tickets to the Republican Convention.

[liberal N proud]

26. That is more than enough reason for me not to go to the fair

That and all the fried food, enough to make me :puke:

[TexasObserver]

8. "And in picking my VP, I considered most whether they looked like my guards when I was a POW."

Angling for that POW thing.

[gateley]

10. ...

:rofl:

[TexasObserver]

24. it's like he's one of those guys that compulsively says the same thing over and over

"And then I was POW talking to the Mayor of Phoenix POW and we discussed the need for POW more federal funds to POW help them build bridges."

[mvd]

19. "I can choose anyone, because criticism is invalid since I was a POW"

[beac]

23. "For five years, I didn't have a Vice President...."

:puke:

[TexasObserver]

25. "When I was a POW, I often thought about who my VP would be, if I ever became president."

[VolcanoJen]

14. FRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, please!!!!!! Nothing sez "Old Wrinkled-White Haired Celebrity Guy" quite like FRED!!!!!!!!

[Virginia Dare]

18. That would be SWWWEEEET!!!..

they'd have to wake him up from his nap to tell him...McLame and Fred, the dueling nappers.

[SuperTrouper]

20. Joe Scumborough just had a wet dream

hoping that his buddy Pawbridges gets picked.
