WOW! I may be wrong, but I think that the size of this rally speaks volumes. Coupled with Barak's strong stance this week against Bush/McCain's silly, misguided attacks, this looks really good going forward in the presidential race.

Obama reminds Americans my age of John Kennedy. The same type of magic that motivates and involves Americans in the political process. It is great for the Democratic Party and America. He will win in November easier than the pundits are predicting.

I guess Obama still has a problem with all of those "WHITE working class" and "WHITe blue collar" voters.

And those ... oh yeah ... that's just another myth being propagated by the pundits, press, and the Clinton campaign.

Can someone tell me when was the last time we've seen Hillary Clinton - or Bill Clinton - draw 75,000 people to a Democratic Primary Rally???

I wonder if NBC and MSNBC will take the time to report on this tomorrow.

Who am I kidding. We'll hear more about his "Kentucky" problem with "WHITE voters" this ... and "WHITE voters" that ... and "blue collar" and "working class" that.

Yada, yada, yada ... blah, blah, blah ...

This assemblage of Americans hungry for a definitive change in leadership is truly but a tip of the berg of us who are fully ready for a rarity as Barak Obama to be that leader. I personally saw and met him over a year ago and after absorbing his speaches, reading his writings; I am of the opinion that he is a once in several generations individual who will be able to represent the vast majority of Americans to a substantially better future. I am still a solid independent, and solidly for Obama.

When it comes time to have a Barack Obama '08 rally that is 750,000 strong, is when I would say that the whole country is rallying behind his leadership of a futuristic America.
Unfortunately, that kind of mass rally has to be held at multiple stadiums, with simultaneous satellite broadcasts, and with all of the attendees guessing as to where he might show up, in the physical !
Now that, would be a movement, wouldn't it ?

What a SLAP to KY - Just like WV - guess these are states obama does not need - only goes to states he is favored to win - think he might need ALL states. We have lots of rock stars - we need a leader.
How ARROGANT!!!
Obama will never be elected with his WEAK and questionable background.
Hillary supporters will never vote for obama - not due to race or gender but because he is
NOT QUALIFIED!!!

Hillary or McCain NEVER obama

Big Deal--still does not make him the candidate to win in Nov.
If the DNC annoints him with the nomination, he is going to need not only those who support him, but us Clinton supporters as well.
My NO vote for him....will be a vote of no-confidence

Us Clinton supporters will not come to his resgue
easily, even if we are asked to by Clinton herself.

I for one, vote the candidate---not the party, so
good luck come Nov Obama---your going to need it.

Senator Obama is a phenomenon, not your everyday politician. None of the old-style pundit analyses apply anymore. He is here on a special assignment. Get ready, America, we are on our way to the New and Greater America - with the rest of the world happily following. Yes, We Can!

I am in Tampa He is here next week but midweek in the middle of the day. I cannot go as I am out of town. Totally bummed by that.

The Tampa venue holds 20,000 campaign is hoping for 12,000.

I read on one of the Hillary sites that some of them are coming to turn their backs as they erroneously think he is responsible for "no re-vote" in Florida.
