If CNN won’t go to them, they’ll go to CNN
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Not that they expect Oregon-sized numbers, but Barack Obama supporters plan on providing a significant backdrop for a certain, locally based cable TV network on the evening of June 3, by filling the CNN Center lobby to celebrate the final Democratic primaries in Montana and South Dakota.
Thirty-one delegates are at stake that night — 15 in South Dakota, and 15 in Montana. Puerto Rico, where 55 delegates are at stake, will have voted two days before.
The communication to the “Obama family” notes that “even former Hillary supporters are invited to mark the end of a historic primary.”
There is no indication — let’s repeat that — there is no indication at all that the candidate himself will be here. However, given the venue, attendees are asked to wear Obama clothing and hats. There was no limit placed on style or taste.

CNN is going to allow a POLITICAL RALLY to be held inside its building? Are they insane? Imagine if a McCain rally was held at the Fox News building!!!

It is like they aren’t even trying to hide their bias anymore. Fine with me. Honestly, most libs I know watch PMSNBC. The chicks are hotter on that channel anyway. But Fox, by far, has the hottest reporterettes. Has anyone noticed that your average Conservative chick is usually far better looking that their Lib counterpart? Peace.

to Churchill: Conservative chicks are hotter because they get a spray tan, teeth whitened, blonde dye job and nose job, but up close the dead eyes and empty head is a boner-killer. From a distance even Ann Coulter looks like Barbie…. up close Barbaro is more like it.

CNN - #1 Cheerleader for obama - BUT NOT SO FAST! Seems like Hillary is the one getting MILLIONS of VOTES - and is the one way up in ALL the polls to beat McCain & Obama. Think she is toast - THINK AGAIN! Even old jerk Cafferty cannot “Change” these FACTS!

It is not a rally, it is a watch party. Nothing official , just a few Democrats watching the MT / SD number roll in.. no biggy, stop hyping it up.
