Predict the General Election Crowds Obama Will Get.

[Bullet1987]

Let's have a little fun for a second. Obama has attracted thousands and thousands of people in a lot of different venues. Recently at Penn State where 22,000 showed up...meanwhile, how many people have shown up to go see John McCain? Maybe a couple thousand? Conventional wisdom should be that when Obama makes it to the General...MORE people will show up to see him than there are now.

I say breaking 50,000 in bigger venues will not be hard (he did that once in Atlanta didn't he?).

1. I think the weight of the gathered crowd will spin the planet off its axis and kill us all.

Save us, Xenu!

[Double T]

2. The SILENT MAJORITY will prevail; rallies do NOT elect candidates........

and MOST often just create a lot of noise.

4. Who are you? A Republican?

[niceypoo]

6. The poster is correct...

...most people don't get emotional over politicians, they tend to vote on issues instead. These are the people that Obama is failing to reach out to. He needs to start talking about issues 24/7 instead of talking about Hillary 24/7.

[Double T]

8. obama and his supporters depend on whipping up rallies. Those that .........

are NOT taken in by a rally mentality; the Silent Majority; will decide WHO will become the next President. A rethug? NEVER!

9. Since when are rallies bad?

This is the first large rally he's had since, what, Wisconsin?



The silent majority candidate also had his fair share of large rallies.

[Double T]

12. Rallies are about generating excitement. Excitement does NOT address.........

the REAL ISSUES. People are getting carried away by the excitement and overlooking the substance of the important issues.

[DerekJ]

14. Yep!!

That's why he is losing :rofl:

[NJSecularist]

16. Obama is doing just fine addressing the issues

Apparently you have missed his numerous town halls and speeches over the last few weeks.

[NJSecularist]

5. Richard Nixon, is that you? n/t

[Double T]

10. No. tricky dick has NOT risen, as far as I know, and I am NOT HIM.

Just attempting to inject REALITY into the discussion.

[NJSecularist]

11. Last time I checked, Obama leads in the popular vote.

And all of those voters didn't go to large rallies.

It seems to me Obama leads in the "silent majority" vote.

[Double T]

15. IF obama had NOT disenfranchised the Florida and Michigan voters...........

it would be a much different race.

[NJSecularist]

17. Obama disenfranchised Florida and Michigan voters?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You really sound like a homer now.

That was the Florida and Michigan legislatures, not Obama. Is there anything you Hillary supporters won't blame Obama for?

[Double T]

21. Let's see. Polls opened, people voted, votes don't count.

obama won't let the vote stand and won't have a straight up re-vote. Yep. Disenfranchised is right!!

[NDambi]

20. LMAO

[Warren DeMontague]

26. Obama forced Florida and Michigan to deliberately break the DNC rules about primary scheduling?

Wow. Pretty impressive. I guess that's how he hypnotizes all his cult supporters, too. :crazy:

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

13. Rallies don't count!

Delegates don't count! Popular vote doesn't count! States won doesn't count! Go Hillary!

[Double T]

18. Let's count Florida and Michigan votes.

What happens to the excitement THEN????

[NDambi]

22. She'd still be behind with both..

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

24. She would still be behind

Yes, even if you counted the Michigan votes where Obama was not even on the ballot.

[tigereye]

3. hopefully this will be good in the general when all of them vote!

:)

[Vinca]

7. I hope he has an opportunity to take a quick overseas tour.

It would show, proof positive, the impact he would have on how the world will view us post-Republican regime.

[JBoy]

25. Damn right.

Lemme organize Obama appearances in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. I'll guarantee 20,000+ at each. All I ask for is the t-shirt concession rights.

[otohara]

19. The Kids Will Come Out

in huge numbers! All my son's friends registered as Independents and were shocked when they couldn't vote in the caucuses. They can't wait to vote for Obama in the GE.

[caledesi]

23. I agree! 50,000 NT
