Obama Draws More Than 100,000 At Denver Rally

The Obama campaign released an initial crowd estimate of 75,000 people. That was later upgraded to "well over" 100,00 people, a tally confirmed by a Denver police spokesman.

The righties need to realize that this country does not belong to them. Rush and Hannity need to be marginalized, and so do their followers.

Once Obama wins, he needs to follow through on his plans. It looks like Dems will rule everything that matters soon, so hopefully that greases the wheels a bit.

I think it's great to see the country so united, at least where I live. There is already talks of a landslide victory, which would be very exciting indeed. It would show a significant shift to the left. Since I lean left, I would like to see this.

The next U.S. government, after the democrats screw things up, will be fascist because that's how bad our country will be in 2012. So many liberals in power is going to destroy the will of the people. Say goodbye to your unrestricted internet! The fat lazy poor people are only going to get fatter and lazier as Obama milks the rich to feed the poor. Why should they work? Let someone else work and you can mooch of the government.

I have a newsflash for you Winnow, the country is that bad right now thanks to the current administration. They were the cause, what is happening now is the effect.

Republicans feed on mistrust, hate, and division. Your posts are the fuel that feeds the very right. I have no idea how you and your ilk became so cynical towards your fellow Americans, but I'm glad that soon you'll be pushed toward the background where you belong and can't add any further damage to our country. You are scared about all the possible things you think may happen, yet have shown no concern over the very real things the current administration has done and continues to do.

I think you're the type of person that will be anti-Obama every day he is in office no matter what good he does. But hey, some people hated Jesus too. You can't make everyone happy!

In one week, we can choose an economy that rewards work and creates new jobs and fuels prosperity from the bottom-up.

In one week, we can choose to invest in health care for our families, and education for our kids, and renewable energy for our future.

In one week, we can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo.

In one week, we can come together as one nation, and one people, and once more choose our better history.

That’s what’s at stake. That’s what we’re fighting for. And if in this last week, you will knock on some doors for me, and make some calls for me, and talk to your neighbors, and convince your friends; if you will stand with me, and fight with me, and give me your vote, then I promise you this – we will not just win Ohio, we will not just win this election, but together, we will change this country andwe will change the world.

The fact that Winnow equates "fascism" with "no unrestricted internet" says a lot about Winnow, I think.

I've heard a lot of chatter from right-wing types that Democratic control will mean a resurrection of the fairness doctrine, the end of media freedom, etc. My question: Why do you think this? What Democrats have stated that this will be part of their governing agenda? What Democrats have endorsed the fairness doctrine?

Maybe he can use the money he's making from the campaign trail to pay his back taxes to Ohio, and get the Lien off his property. This would also help him to get a loan for the business he wants to buy, despite his bad credit history.

Christ. I missed Winnows post where he said that earlier. Winnow, I am beginning to think you are as stupid as you make yourself out to be. Say goodbye to our unrestricted free internet? Sure when you vote for John McCain who is one of the biggest anti-net neutrality entities in the US Government. Do you even know what Net Neutrality is, or were you talking about some other supposed liberal agenda to restrict the internet (not sure there are even any other being talked about in congress, liberal or otherwise).

Note: Joe Biden is also anti-net neutrality, but Obama is a big supporter of net neutrality. McCain and Palin are both anti-net neutrality.

What shocks me, honestly, is that if McCain were to somehow win this election, his supporters wouldn't care a lick how dishonest, desperate, flip-floppy and un-American he (and Palin) has been throughout this campaign with Obama. I mean seriously, McCain's true colors have seriously been showing and you people are blindly ignoring them. It's baffling. Until I remember you idiots voted for Bush. Twice.

Nick · Post by **Nick** » October 29, 2008, 11:12 pm

It looks like a certainty now.

Indeed, if the USA fails to elect this man, who is arguably the most eloquent, inspirational and important US politician of the last 30 years, it will be not only a shame but a very real crime.

It was always going to take a great movement to overthrow the terrible reality of the last 8 years, and some great leaders were needed if we wanted to move on from the disasterous decisions of the Republicans of the last 8 years.

I really hope the US does itself proud, and reminds the rest of us of why we should have hope for their nation, instead of fear that they have a lot of guns.

If Obama loses, I really will not know what to think. The alternative is truly ghastly. People like Winnow ought to be ashamed of themselves for denying their own country this chance.

Hopefully people like Winnow will realise their mistake sooner rather tha later.

Fairweather Pure · Post by **Fairweather Pure** » October 30, 2008, 9:21 am

I was watching the news the other day and they had a poll based on new voters. More than 2/3rds planned on voting for Obama. These are the people that don't even make the other polls because they are new voters. This shows that the Republican party has a real uphill battle on it's hands from here on out.

I think there will be record breaking voting participation with this election. I can see over 130 million easy. I really hope it's a landslide to show a more united front.

It's quite surprising that the Economist has gone for Obama considering that they treated him like he was a little child about a year ago.

Then again, they were always going to play their cards close to their chest until it was obvious who would win, and then endorse that candidate.

I like the economist and read it regularly, but it is funny seeing them go for Obama now after the tone of journalism they have taken towards him has been so dismissive.

Is the election already decided? Nate Silver flags some important data from Colorado and New Mexico. According to new polls, two-thirds of Coloradans have already cast their ballot and Obama has a 10-point lead; 55 to 60 percent of New Mexicans have also already voted, with Obama leading there by 17 points. Elsewhere, Nevadans have already reached 53 percent of their 2004 voting totals, and Obama has a 23-point lead in Las Vegas’ Clark County and a 15-point lead in traditionally Republican Washoe County. These states plus Virginia and Iowa spell an Obama victory, even if McCain’s Hail Mary succeeds in Pennsylvania.

While it's an early positive sign... I'm not really sure I'm for releasing numbers before actual election day.

(Assuming this isn't all strictly exit polling data of course which is fine)

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » November 1, 2008, 9:45 am

Yeah, I am definitely against releasing early voting results. If there was any tactic that could be effective in stopping others from voting, that would probably be it (IMHO).

Sueven · Post by **Sueven** » November 1, 2008, 11:04 am

I'm not sure what those numbers are, but I doubt they're actual results, given the concerns that you two raise. I assume they're party ID numbers, or party ID numbers weighted by polling data or something like that.

Forthe · Post by **Forthe** » November 2, 2008, 2:53 pm

It is going to be very hard for McCain to win North Carolina. 75% of the total 2004 vote has already voted.

Using the early vote party ID and Rasmussen's latest poll percentages:
Total Early votes: 2,661,110

Dem (50.8%): 1,351,844
Rep (30.6%): 814,300
Ind (18.5%): 492,305

Obama
Dem (87%): 1,176,104
Rep (7%) : 57,001
Ind (46%): 226,460

McCain
Dem (13%): 175,740
Rep (93%): 757,299
Ind (54%): 265,845

Obama : 1,459,566 (54.8%)
McCain : 1,198,883 (45.1%)
Difference: 260,682 (9.8%)

If turnout doesn't change this year that would leave 25% of the vote remaining. McCain would need to win that 25% by 30 points (65%-35%).
If turnout increaes by 10% this year that would leave ~32% of the vote remaining. McCain would need to win that 32% by 22 points (61%-39%).
If turnout increaes by 20% this year that would leave ~38% of the vote remaining. McCain would need to win that 38% by 18 points (59%-41%).

The first results are in with Obama winning Dixville Notch, NH with 15 votes to McCain's 6.

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5grwU ... AD947TO200

This district hasn't gone Democratic since 1968 when Humphrey won 8 votes to 4. Since '68, the Republican candidate has generally trounced the Democratic ticket handily. The closest it's been in the last 40 years was in '76 when Ford won the district by only 2 votes (13 to 11).
