Slog - Comments on Joe Biden Does Cheney Stadium http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/joe_biden_does_cheney_stadium There were, according to the Obama campaign, about 12,000 people in attendance at the Joe Biden rally that just finished up down here in Tacoma. It was one of his largest rallies ever, if chatter in the press area can be believed. Cheney Stadium certainly seemed packed, and its name, of course, provided Biden with several joke opportunities, including a line about how if it had actually been named after Dick Cheney it would be hard place to hold a rally, since it would be... an undisclosed location. Biden was introduced by Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray, and...

Photoshopping sure make Cheney Stadium seem crowded, but here, take a look at the bleachers...only this man was there to worship Biden:

I've always though of him as awfully self-centered, and a huge windbag. He has a tendency to give long droning speeches, and basically boring me to death. I groaned when I heard he'd been picked for VP.

But I have to say he's been on fire since the convention. He put in a near perfect performance at the VP debate. He's been spot on at rallies like this, from everything I've read. He hasn't made a single misstep.

For someone I've never really liked much, he impresses me more every day. I'm having to completely reverse my opinion of him. Go Joe!

I was at this rally today and there was standing room only at Obama-Biden Stadium. The previous record crowd for a Biden rally had been 4500 (according to several volunteers managing the lines). Doors opened at 12 and the line was slow and massive.
At some point, they turned off the metal detectors as it was slowing down the progress. I had guessed there were approximately 10,000, so seeing 12,000 does not surprise me.
Today was one of the days that pride and belief in your country is an overwhelming feeling.

That seems to be the case usually, doesn't it?

John Bailo, you are one lonely motherfucker.

"Making America strong for all"

(This then gets unpackaged : we mean strong for all of us. Based on all our values. Truth justice the American way -- equality, opportunity, independence, hope. Our values. Based on all our strengths abroad, too -- diplomacy, moral leadership, military as needed esp. when working with our allies.
