Think there'll be a lot of republicans wanting to get into the speech? I bet the Obama campaign didn't make anyone sign loyalty oaths for admission to the event. > I do wonder if it's a way around the campaign finance laws.

I kid :) No, there is no maximum amount of time you can donate to a campaign. Same as you cannot take a write-off on an hourly rate for time you donate to a non-profit organization. > But your smartass comment makes me think you feel a free Decemberists concert > in Portland wouldn't attract a crowd. And it seems my "smartass" comment has struck a chord. I've been to a Decemberists' concert. I like the Decemberists. The Decemberists were *not* the draw that day. Certainly not for that many people. The Decemberists generally play small venues. They're kind of a niche band. > Or that > the free beer and pizza along with two very popular German bands > had nothing to do with the audience size in Berlin. guess that must have been it. Perhaps if John McCain wasn't opening for Kid Rock he'd draw a little better numbers to his stump speeches? You just can't admit that people might actually be interested in what Obama has to say. > Weren't > they expecting a million people? They must have had a lot of leftover pizza. You're a feckin' laugh riot. Maybe they were expecting 100K and 200K showed up. or maybe they were expecting 8 million but only 200k showed up. WTF difference does it make. 200K people showed up to hear Obama speak. Can McCain draw that well? No?
