WOW .... Look at the crowd in Denver 100,000 or more for Obama
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 01:04 PM by Ichingcarpenter
Shouldn't they be in Church (hinted faux)? I just saw the crowd size on Faux news.
Nobody else on the TV stations showed the size of the crowds or even the beginning
of the rally

I'm from Denver and that area in front of the capital can hold a lot of people.
30,000 is a very conservative estimate. Faux just changed it and said 150,000 might show

I changed the title because the news updated the size of the crowd from 30,000 to 100,000

4. It was on Faux news, I've got newsmix on DirecTV
lets me watch 8 news channels at once. The Faux cameraman did a wide
pan of the crowd size. Then the commentators went back to pimping McCain.
The crowd looked huge and that area can handle a lot of people.

It look at least to be around 30,000.

38. It sucks... I live in California now which means we get nothing
but I can still be proud of Denver. Fort Collins only has a population of 118,000
the same size of the town I live in now. It will be interesting to see how many show up there.

from the reports I read.

So it will be really large for Fort Collins

53. 45000+ people in Ft. Collins?
Can you believe that? If Obama loses this election we need real election reform because it will have been stolen.

Oh and did you notice that there are no videos of anybody inciting violence against the Repugs? Contrast that to the pukes going to the McCain rally Friday. That was truly sickening.

52. You got to see him at MIle High??
I'm WAY jealous. That was a once in a lifetime event.

I'll be in Denver on election day but working. I did what I could do by voting early for Barack Obama. It might be the most important vote I've ever cast.

But I don't think you have the population to get 100,000. Course you are a liberal lot.

Damn, now I want a burger from Dotty Dumpling's.
