More on the Hottest Ticket in Town
Email3:31 MT: A little more on ticketing for entry here at Mile High Stadium from ABC News’ Nitya Venkataraman. Those interested in tickets signed up on August 6 and were notified a week and a half later whether their efforts were successful. About two-thirds of the tickets were reserved for attendees from Western battleground states. One early arrival on the delegate floor said she snuck in at 10am with the volunteer hordes to make sure she got a got a good seat. Her hard ticket, which displays a hologram of the American flag and Obama’s profile when held at different angles, assigns holders to a section, but not a specific seat. She got no response, she said, when she followed the Obama campaign’s system to sign up for tickets online. Instead, she got her ticket by volunteering for a local Denver campaign office. And as for those planning to scalp the hottest tickets in town, word on the street is that organizers are discontinuing the barcodes of any ticket images posted online.

This will be a truly historic moment, just like JFK. Wish I was there. Go Obama! You make America proud!

It’s a shame that this important event in history is being squandered on someone so undeserving and underqualified to be President. He will invoke the great MLK Jr. and then his campaign will collapse under the weight of Obama’s ego. It’s a da*m shame.

I, too, wish I could be there. I was there in 2004 when Kerry accepted the Nomination the the “new” Boston Garden priceless. But this one will be even more significant, and the energy from Mile High will fuel a Democratic Victory in November!

I wish the person speaking tonight was someone with experience, good judgment, and humility. Obama is a TERRIBLE choice.

jackt51: I don’t think so. Chances of Obama winning the election are slim even though he wanted a hugh stadium to make himself comparable to MLK. He should stop walking in someone else’s shoes and start walking in his own. He should stop using other’s president’s and candidate’s speeches and originate his own. But what’s there to say about the highly educated Harvard graduate that is so brilliant he doesn’t need to study politics or foreign policy. DON’T BET ON IT.

joereed007: Oh, so your proud of this anti-american who is only using this country for his own benefit and faking his way thru. He was anti-american, white hating, racist for over twenty five years like his wife Michelle run of the mouth. His convention was a disaster and that entertainment was a joke. Even the media was talking about the first night of the convention being unorganized. The whole four days were a disaster. His speech was that of JFK with a few added words of his own. Can’t he walk in his own shoes instead of the shoes of MLK.
