No More Tickets for Tampa Obama Rally on Wednesday

2008-05-19T20:24:25Z

Just spoke to the Hillsborough County Democratic Executive Committee's Office - to see if there are still tickets available to the Obama Rally on Wednesday at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa -

They said were mobbed today at lunch, with lines of people standing in the rain, and all of the free tickets to the event are gone, and many had to be turned away.

The estimated that The Forum holds about 20 thousand people.

Too bad they didn't book the Ramond James Stadium, where the Bucs play. I bet he could've filled it.

Summary Transcript of Obama's Speech

Summarized transcript of the remarks of Barack Obama regarding race.

Good Morning,

Did someone mention race?

Well let me just reach down and pull out a few things uncomfortably buried in all of us, hold them out for a moment of examination, then run them into your face like a freight train.

Good day, Sir. I SAID GOOD DAY.

The Power of Hillary's Hunger for Power

I felt a little sorry for her here, just recognizing the level of exhaustion and passion she must have, when she responded to how she stays "so upbeat and wonderful" (bolds mine)

"It's not easy, and I couldn't do it if I didn't passionately believe it was the right thing to do," said Clinton, getting visibly emotional. "You know, I have so many opportunities from this country I just don't want to see us fall backwards."

"You know, this is very personal for me. It's not just political, it's not just public. I see what's happening, and we have to reverse it," she added, with her voice breaking and eyes growing teary.

I'm with you Hillary - let's work together to reverse it. Our country, and our constitution are at stake. We have to win the white house.

What's that? You have something else to say?

"I have a lifetime of experience I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain [the presumptive Republican nominee] has a lifetime of experience he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he made in 2002"

Aha! I see Hillary! You praise McCain over Obama, so it's not the country you're really worried about, it's your personal hunger for power. My mistake.
