1. Serious question, what percentage do you think of those people have been

in a Starbucks?

[MirrorAshes]

2. real democrats drink dirty well water! f you latte drinking dandy fop elite eggheads!

i'll take mine with extra asbestos, please.

[2rth2pwr]

8. Stop messing around, do you think less than 50%, higher than 75%?

[MirrorAshes]

9. I think its a ridiculous notion that isn't worthy of serious discussion.

I know HRC supporters are good at changing metrics around, but arguing over starbucks percentages is just more than my brain can take.

the real question: why in the world do you care, and what does it matter? i'm guessing most of "blue collar" america has been into a starbucks at least a handful of times in their lives. its like asking if you've ever been to a mcdonalds. if you live in this country, chances are you've been to a starbucks by now.

14. OK, I got it, over 75%. That's what I thought too.

[MirrorAshes]

16. and that means what exactly?

you're not really scoring any points here except illustrating a severe disdain for commercially successful coffee.

[MirrorAshes]

17. kick... still looking for an answer here.

i see you had time to change up your sig and avatar pic, so im wondering why you've ducked debating any real substance in this thread.

3. Who are "those people"?

The teamsters, the teachers, the SEIU, AFSCME and UFCW members? Many people there today belonged to those groups-- I know because I was there, and my husband belongs to one of those unions. But just for the record, I'd wager most of "those people" have stepped foot in a Starbucks. We all self-medicate to get through 9 months of grey, dreary skies. The gorgeous weather this week was an anomaly.

[MirrorAshes]

4. also, when did Starbucks become such a dirty word?

I mean, its coffee for god's sake. Is this the new dividing line between white and blue collar? Starbucks vs Dunken Donuts?

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

5. How many are registered to vote? Good question. How many more will register after this?

Who the hell cares about your "serious question"? What a trivial irrelevancy!!

[swag]

6. Some of us prefer Stumptown Roasters in Portland.

Regardless, your question is strange.

7. Maybe he/she just wanted to kick the thread?

As they say, an inane comment and $2 will get ya a cup of coffee.

10. Hi L Coyote! Thanks so much for posting this. We didn't go because of family commitments...

Looks like an even bigger crowd than the rally my husband attended in 2004 for John Kerry. Alas and alack...

I hope we Democrats do better this time.

WE JUST HAVE TO...

11. I was on the waterfront for Geraldine Ferraro. Great spot for political gatherings

Didn't we have a massive gathering there for Gore too? Or was that Bill Clinton?

This is by far the most inspiring part of the Obama movement -- holding huge rallies and events.
But, you've got to be kidding me; 75,000 is no "huge". It is HUMONGOUS!

WHOA! It gave me chills up and down my spine. This is really something. ........
