Barack Obama was scheduled to speak on October 15th at the Orpheum Theater in Madison with a capacity of 2,500, but since those tickets are already sold out with much more demand, the Field House, which can handle 20,000+ people, will be the new venue. This was announced tonight and should be updated on the web site shortly.

It should be a barnstormer!

3. BUT BUT!!!!! he has lost the election (according to the media) Hillary is

nominated already so what are they doing going to an Obama rally don't they listen to the news Hillary is 33 points ahead of him and the race is over.

4. when I was in Madison Saturday and we looked at the venue, we knew it would be moved.

I forgot how small it was until we went past it. Madison is somewhere that obama is going to have one of those tens of thousands come to see him.
My husband and I planning to go.

5. ZZ, can you keep me informed on the developments so we know.

I will keep an eye on the website but, just in case....

[zulchzulu]

7. I'll certainly let you know what I know...

I'm not officially part of the campaign but get some communications from people who have stopped by the table...

:thumbsup:

6. But isn't this OVER?

[zulchzulu]

9. It's over the top fun!

I've actually never felt more confident that Obama is going to do very well in the primaries. He's going to win. The support out there is deep and sincere...and boots are already on the ground.

Get ready for a wild ride!

12. E ticket ride.

14. Nice tagline AK

It should be common knowledge.

8. Great news!

Please let us know how the event goes!

[illinoisprogressive]

10. I know you are not with the campaign. but, you live in Madison and I don't...yet

[zulchzulu]

11. We need you here!

Come to the big bad city! Well, it's not bad... and it's not that big...

It was a gorgeous evening here walking the dog (avatar) along Lake Monona... she almost caught a rabbit.

13. Howdy zulchzulu. The photograph you have there...

It isn't difficult to imagine that it's a photo of the next president and his attorney general.

[zulchzulu]

17. Agreed...

Russ would make a fine AG.

Speaking of Jackson Browne, have you ever listened to his live solo album "Solo Acoustic, Vol. 1"? Truly beautiful music...

20. Yes! He's as good with the high-voltage road band as he is in the acoustic

studio.

And he's totally left on the issues, especially after the appalling Reagan administration.

He sent a check to Ned Lamont, too.

Feingold would be refreshing as all get out as anybody's veep of course, but I would love someone like that runnng the Justice Department. After Ashcroft and Gonazales, I'd give a lot to have a true heart like Feingold in there.

15. #5

Sending this to the greatest. :kick::kick::kick::kick:

[illinoisprogressive]

16. I can see Feingold as Atty general or vp to Obama

18. so this means that...hillary should be in front of crowds of about 100,000 right?

i mean, if she is so popular? if she has it all wrapped up?

[Colobo]

19. LOL!

[babylonsister]

23. Ha! True that! nt

[zulchzulu]

24. Perhaps a million being march?

Spielberg could do some CGI and make "it happen"...

:rofl:

22. Obama is REALLY connecting with the grass roots, and kudos to him!
