Official Meet-Up - DUer Kaiden: Obama Will Walk To Invesco From Pepsi Center |
|
Edited on Wed Aug-27-08 09:01 PM by Hissyspit
Kaiden snagged a ticket to the acceptance speech with the help of a friend who is a woodwright, and has been working on building the stage. He told her that Sen. Obama will walk to the stadium. Part of I-25 will be closed. Kaiden said her friend reported the Secret Service were checking out the route. Has anyone heard about or posted about this?
Whenever anyone enters the dining room and asks "Is this Democratic Underground?" everyone yells, no , this is Free R..." well, you know. :-)
Here is who at Racine's so far:

18. When I first saw you, you weren't wearing a nametag.. |
|
And took me a LONG wait before I figured out who you were...
And it looks like you never finished your nacho order - must be one hell of an order!

12. Hissyspit - it was a GREAT pleasure meeting you |
|
I know you wanted to blog a little bit more - but the wife needed me, and I didn't want to leave her alone too long. I was delighted to see this being a big hit - and it was great meeting everyone - especially Elad and Ava.
Can't wait to see everyone's pics!

14. I was the latecomer and missed several of you, but |
|
I'm SO glad to get to meet everyone! I really feel optimistic that things are going our way and you all are the reason! Travel safe for those who will be heading home soon and to my Denver colleagues, I think we "done good" with our 'little' convention! Let's see those Repubs even try to match it! :toast:

22. NOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I'm not even a Christian and I will be praying with all of my might that he not walk.
November 22, 1963 was probably the last time that a president rode in an open car. But to WALK?????????
The man must have a death wish.
