1. How do undecideds get an invitation to an invitation only event?

[goclark]

4. Call the headquarters or line up at the door early nt

[mmonk]

6. I was wondering how campaigns know who's undecided in order

to invite them. I was wondering if there was some sort of undecideds list I haven't heard of.

[goclark]

18. They usually can spot who

is sincere and who is not.

It also depends on the amount of space they have at the event.

2. Why are her events in such small locations?

:shrug:

5. I imagine it is more about donations than votes.

3. Argh! Dying to know about Tuesday!

If Obama has a Tues evening rally at Pioneer Square, I imagine that Max service will be interrupted. I'm looking to map out a way to get down town w/o problems.

7. Pioneer square isn't a good venue

That would be the LAST place he ought to go.

9. I understand that's where it is

I think it's foolish too, but that's the last info I had.

[depakid]

13. I hope they reconsider

because that would be nightmare, especially considering how torn up downtown is at the moment.

Reckon I'll probably mosey on down to waterfront park, though. Should be a nice day for a rally!

[sandnsea]

14. Pics Please!

I had hoped he'd take a side trip to the coast, but nope. :cry: Have Fun!

[depakid]

16. In fact, I'm taking the lil camera!

B-)

Wish you could be there!

8. So basically Clinton refuses to face the general public, while that's ALL that Obama does.

11. Maybe she figures that her supporters are solid

and who she needs to talk to are those folks who are yet undecided, to try to win their votes. It's a whole different dynamic than a standard campaign rally of supporters.

[BlooInBloo]

12. Yeah, maybe that's it.

[Generator]

15. She does that in almost all her ads on tv too!

Obama is in every single one-direct to the camera. Hillary had some pac I never heard of doing one today here (I live in Oregon) and the Wilson/Plames-(whom I love but think are DEAD wrong that Hillary is the ONE to end the Iraq war).

He's a man of the people. He's quite the performer, it's about time we had a charismatic leader-I loved Kerry but he didn't have the "it" factor.

He's swayed me-I was intending NOT to vote when Edwards dropped out-but Obama on his own-not the endorsement of Edwards has convinced me he has the fire to make it to the White House.

17. If it makes you happy.

10. Thanks for the info! I'm hoping to go on Sunday
