When they say the doors open at a rally at a certain time, how long after that

does Obama generally speak?

1. 2 or 3 hours or more

Fredericksburg, VA last week doors opened at 3:00 pm and Biden started speaking about 6:30. Obama 6:45.

2. I agree. Jacksonvillle, FL Opened at 12:00 scheduled to speak at 2:30.

He was late because of the 8 to 10 thousand people that were locked out trying to get in.

3. Okay. Thanks to both of you. I'm a little bummed. Obama will be here

on Saturday. Well, he will be in Newport News. Anyway, my cousin plays college soccer out of state and will be here playing a game. The "doors" open at 10:30. Her game is at 1 pm. So it looks like I won't be able to make it to the rally. I'm so bummed right now. :( Her dad is supposed to be here. He is a HUGE Obama fan. He lives in Georgia so he has not had an chance to attend a rally. I'm sure he is going to be bummed about it too (being so close). Well, hopefully Obama will be back..........

4. All depends

We got into the town hall meeting in Berea Ohio at 11:00 AM and he spoke at 2:45 or later. He had stopped along the road with Senator Sharrod Brown and Gov Strickland in route.

It is all about his schedule and if the event you are attending is first or later. The later in the day the more the delay.

That is from experience at several rallies
