1. A DJ? Not even a live band, wow a lot damn nerve on her part

I KID! I'm so just screwing with ya.

In related news I heard that Jeb has already had 70 fundraisers (averaging 1 every other day). I'm curious how much money the two nominees will spend. $2 bil? $5 bil? $10 bil. Needless to say they'll both fill the air with commercials starting early next year.



(I wonder how many people will thrash me without even reading past the reply title)

3. I love that venue. Was there last month for a concert.

4. Occupy supports Bernie. Good luck with stealing that "99%".

[brooklynite]

5. And Occupy claims the loyalty of the entire "99%" without evidence

But I guess we'll know the truth when nobody show up, right?

BTW - can you point to a General Assembly that endorsed Bernie? Or was it a bunch of individuals who endorsed Bernie on Occupy's behalf? Just like I could claim Planned Parenthood has endorsed Hillary since I'm a member (actually, she can probably get the endorsement herself).

9. Wow ...

stealing that "99%".

Really? Or, were you referring to that very small portion of the "99%" that are both Bernie supporters AND a part of occupy?

10. Occupy endorces Bernie. Get over it ...if you can.

6. K&R!

7. 99% of what... Looking through windows in the building across the street from it?

Even the balcony seats (limited availability) are $45... I wonder how much of the "99%" can afford that?

[brooklynite]

8. ...and there's Occupy's problem

99% of the population includes a huge number who can spend $45 on a political campaign. Either that or the number of 1%ers in NYC is massive, given the number I see on the shopping streets and at the movies.

[cascadiance]

11. I would wager that not even 5% of the population pay that much for political campaigns...

Now whether they can "afford" it is another question. Some people can make a point of paying that much money if they care about it, but just to attend one political speech? How many of those "limited availability" seats were there. I think the real entry fee was a baseline $100 that was for "general admission". It's ok to recognize that these are pricey, but to say that this speech was targeted at the 99% is a bit disingenous with that pricing.

[brooklynite]

13. and the same percentage probably applies to the 1%ers...

...Most people, of every income strata, don't get involved in politics. The issue is that, if they choose to, a $45/$100/$250 event with a candidate with a strong chance of being President is a great value for those who are interested.

12. I would pay that if she comes to KC. Would like to see her talk. nt

14. Doesn't Goldman have a big auditorium?
