#1 Ya gotta do something about those 45% of the delegates that belonged to Hillary. At least if you're Obama.

#2 I take it the concession stands will be closed?
Wouldn't want an order of evil french fries or onion rings available to corrupt the adoring masses.

#3 I thought that the color orange was against the dnc rules.

And yup, he thinks himself too good for what dean and co. put together for the democrats. How much you suppose it will cost to rent Invesco then clean it up afterwards - pretty thrifty there mister, must be somebody else's money huh? Gonna follow the same food rules there bub?

#4 Will Michael Moore, this centuries Reni Liefenstahl, be on hand to do the photography?

This strikes me as a Billy Graham moment.

#5 ...I dunno - the Broncos logo will look pretty good on banners illuminated by torchlight.

#9 It won't be the first time a presidential candidate has accepted the nomination in a stadium. On July 15, 1960, John F. Kennedy gave his acceptance speech before tens of thousands at the Los Angeles Coliseum.

This is going to be gross.

At least the rioters will have plenty of room.

#10 Don't you mean worshippers, NS?

Maybe he needs to save room for the ETs that will descend in approval when he's annointed. Or something.

#11 Only the true believers will be on field, but the parking lots will be prime territory for the Recreate '68 crew. Lots of good camera angles and telephoto ops.

#12 Once more the stadium rocking with cheers. Once more the torchlight parade.
Away with the cowering dog-bitten years, away with the humble charade!

A thousand years, the tears of the weak for our wine.
A thousand years, we'll pluck them like fruit from the vine.
Ah, they fed us and clothed us and handed us weapons of wealth,
But give us a leader, we'll follow him down into Hell!

#15 Why do I have a vision of an entire stadium pumping their fists in the air in time with the constant chant of "Obama! Obama! Obama!"

#16 FOX NEWS > CAVUTO Show > LYNN DE ROTHSCHILD has set up an anti-Obama website in support of HILLARY + supporters. Claimed that Hillary's suppors must and should be heard becuz Barack did not win either the popular vote e.g. FLORIDA, nor has the most super-delegates???

HMMMMM, ROTHCHILDS, MELLONS, VANDERBILTS, + ROCKEFELLERS, etc.

PARIS HILTON + MARRIOTTS say of HILLARY + BARACK???

Massive stadium rally of true believers - Check.

Proposes "Youth Corp" for "Service" - Check.

Going to give speech in Berlin - Check.

I guess we all know what comes next. Heil Obama!
