Have you attended an Obama Rally?

[Liberal_in_LA]

Poll question: Have you attended an Obama Rally?

Wish I had the chance to attend a rally...unlikely that Obama will return to CA before the election (except for expensive fundraisers)

[BlooInBloo]

1. Like there would be an Obama rally in Seattle. :(

[Liberal_in_LA]

3. Join the club... :-(

[hogwyld]

13. He was in in a Seattle suburb

Portland.... Made ya look!

[BlooInBloo]

17. hahahaa!

[cags]

2. I live in TX

[BlueGirlRedState]

7. Me, too

I attended the Austin rally in February -- gorgeous clear night in front of the Texas Capitol building.

[Blue_In_AK]

4. I've attended a rally in support of Obama

but he's not coming up here, so we don't get the chance to attend a "real" Obama rally.

[Liberal_in_LA]

6. Oh.. my poll should have another option: Attended Rally where Obama wasn't in attendance

[VenusRising]

5. Hubby and I saw Obama and Biden.

It was the first Saturday after the convention.

[grantcart]

8. Michelle Obama

[sandnsea]

9. I saw him in Portland last September

You have to go see this people early in the season! If I hadn't had such a long drive home, I'd have stayed to try to meet him.

[sniffa]

10. Yes. Almost got to shake his hand too

[Liberal_in_LA]

11. My gosh...look at all the people who got to meet Obama.

Gonna be much harder to meet him after he becomes prez I would think.

[jaysunb]

12. If you count the 04 convention

in Boston then, yes. Also met him at a fundraiser in Santa Monica in o4 as well.

Nice guy....

[Mark E. Smith]

14. Stood outside Saddleback Church with Obama signs

Me, my missus, and our 2 little boys.

[Rambis]

15. One of the first in Iowa

I should have gone back stage to meet him but I was an Edwards guy at the time. Did get to see Biden, Dodd, Richardson, Dennis, Hillary and Edwards in small groups.

[Liberal_in_LA]

16. "Edwards guy". Ouch!

[Liberal_in_LA]

18. On edit... I saw Edwards in person back when he still walked on water

[DFW]

19. You forgot to attend all of the above

I've met him twice, in 2006 in Washington, and this past August in Denver,
and the Denver Convention was an Obama rally if ever there was one!

[Liberal_in_LA]

21. wow! You are practically in his cabinet.

[DFW]

40. LOL!! Not quite

I attend a thing every New Year's where Clinton met many of the people who
later became part of his cabinet, but Obama has never attended, and I'm sure
he has his circle of people in mind for the various positions, and it's pretty
likely I don't know any of them, unless Wes Clark is included. I've been
stationed overseas for nearly 30 years now, so I have a day job anyway.

[ITsec]

20. If he came to South Dakota, I'd be in the front row. n/t

[AllieB]

22. I'm from Mass, I could go to NH, but I'd rather have that swing state's voters attend a rally.

Mass is solid Blue, he has my vote, and I would rather that there's room at the rally so residents of that swing state can attend and bring friends and neighbors.

[BigD_95]

23. I shook Barack Obama's hand in Lancaster, PA

taped it with my cell phone. I would post it but dont know how

[Matt_in_STL]

24. This past Saturday in St. Louis!

Front and center!

[GarbagemanLB]

25. I was at the rally where Richardson endorsed Obama in Portland. I tried going to his record-breaking

Portland rally in May (the one that had 70,000+ people) but it was just too much.

[Meshuga]

26. No, but I might go to the rally in Leesburg, VA tomorrow n/t

I live in Maryland so he won't be coming to my neighborhood anytime soon since Maryland is bright blue.

[crankychatter]

27. I'm a surly misanthrope... I'll wait for the DVD, but thanks - NT

[damntexdem]

28. Yes, but not one with Obama present.

Very unlikely here in Texas, post the primary.

[MissMarple]

29. Yes. And hope to see Biden tomorrow.

:woohoo:

But I have to get up very early. The doors open at 8:30 a.m. My friend wants to be there by 7:30... yawn.

[chiefofclarinet]

30. I saw both Obama and Biden

Of course, it helps that I'm an Iowan. I saw Obama in Iowa City on Earth Day in 2007, really early in the primary race, and I saw Biden really late in 2007. Of course, it's been a long time, but they both count!

[JimGinPA]

31. I've Seen Him At Two Rallies & A Town Hall

[budkin]

32. Yes - in Austin, TX in February

That one! :-)

[MagickMuffin]

33. Yes, February 08 Fort Worth, Texas

We stood in line for 2 hours before getting in. He had a spill-over crowd that he addressed as well as the rest of us 17,000.

[dtotire]

34. I don't know any have been held in CT

We're still solid for Obama

[WhollyHeretic]

43. We're usually ignored here. I did hear Clinton speak and shake his hand

when he spoke across the street from my house in '92

[City Lights]

35. I attended the Cleveland rally last February. nt

[Arkansas Granny]

36. No. It's highly unlikely that he will hold a rally within traveling distance. I think

he made it to Little Rock once during the primaries, but we don't attract much attention here in Arkansas from Presidential candidates. Too small, too red.

[darkism]

37. Two, when he ran for Senate in 2004.

Couldn't make it down to Springfield earlier in this campaign when he picked Biden.

[ObamaKerryDem]

38. I attended his rally in Phoenix just days before Super Tuesday

AMAZING experience. :D Being in McSame's state has pretty much put the kabosh on my rally attending activity during this GE--which sucks because had he not been from here, I'm convinced AZ would've been a swing..psshh. :eyes: Damn that bastard for being 'from here'.. --but I'll always have that experience to savor, plus any future visits (hint, hint, the '12 election, if I'm still here in AZ at that time...;) *crosses fingers*)

[Liberal_in_LA]

39. Cool. Wish I had that experience! Maybe they'll be another non-Obama rally in CA I can attend.

[Ferret Annica]

41. I saw him in Eugene, Oregon on Campus

at the University of Oregon. It was packed and very high energy. I enjoyed seeing our next president immensely.

[mohc]

42. Yes

Went to my second rally today in Miami, also went to the rally in Sunrise earlier this year.

[zulchzulu]

44. I've seen and met Barack several times and there is nothing like it

I'd equate it with seeing a great music event combined with tear-jerking hope and unity among the masses, which generally cross all lines culturally.

[Lilyeye]

45. I need some help

Can anybody post a link to a list of Obama's upcoming rallies? I looked on his site under the events, but I didn't see anything about the rallies he would personally be attending. I may have went to a wrong section or something.

[HughMoran]

46. Yep, posted pictures here -->

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=166x1621

[RayOfHope]

47. Yep, went to a rally in Springfield MO on July 31. n/t
