1. Sarah and Grandpa need time to study and prepare for the debates

[DemsUnited]

2. And naps. McCain needs lots of naps.

[jillan]

3. I *think* Jill Biden is going to join Michelle at one of those events.

:applause: for our team!

[CatBO]

4. This is what happens ...

This is what happens when your VP candidate needs a babysitter and your Presidential candidate needs his Depends changed and frequent naps.

[grantcart]

16. and you have to spend 6 hours breifing your VP on state capitals.

[GarbagemanLB]

5. How awesome would it be if somehow an Obama supporter got a question in to Palin?

[feddup]

11. Unfortunately, the "Town" will be stacked...

You know they will never let a real voter near Palin...they mastered that technique with Bush years ago...

[Muttocracy]

6. Make that 6 - I think Biden did one in Maumee, OH this a.m.:

http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/jrbmaumee

Wasn't online this morning when that was going on (9:30 CST I think?) so I don't know if there was a DU thread, but I assume it happened!

Jill's been doing appearances on her own too - we have 4 major campaigners plus great surrogates :)

[ellie]

12. Yes! Joe

was here in Maumee, OH this morning. I was unable to go though.

[BklynChick]

7. it's really a shame they have to appear together and Cindy must be there at all times.

makes for less appearances, oh well. poor them.

:sarcasm:

Go D team!

[DeeDeeNY]

17. I would be curious to see video of this

I wonder if he continues to fiddle around with his wedding ring while Palin speaks

[BklynChick]

18. he's a freak.

[DeeDeeNY]

21. That one word "Enough" says it all!

I hope Obama keeps repeating it the same way he said it at the Convention.

8. Obama could easilt do 1 more event a day

If he didn't need to attend fund raisers :(

[LunaSea]

9. McCain campaign experiments with "new" look in effort to fill empty seats

[grantcart]

19. lol

[oviedodem]

10. That town hall should be fun because I bet every answer Palin gives will be shroued in "reform"

[scheming daemons]

13. Notice that EVERY Obama/Biden event is in a state that was RED in 2004?

...and McCain's ONE event is in a BLUE state.


They're both trying to play on the other team's turf.....



...but McCain isn't going to win Michigan.

[damndude]

14. takes time for the GERITOL and STEROIDS to kick in

[timber84]

15. Are McLame and Failin going to take questions?

$100.00 to the Alaska Special Olympic's (which she reduced funding for because she's a champion of the special needs kid) that they are pre-screened softball questions.

[demokatgurrl]

20. Here's a question

How, if at all, do those who are not already committed to Obama find out about these things? I don't even find out about all of them- I get e-mails about SOME local events, and find out about some stuff here, but what about the undecided voters?

[grantcart]

22. they get lots of local coverage from the local TV and newspapers

usually starts out a couple of days ahead and the day of the event they will basically follow the candidates around all day long.
