Millions Of Little Small-D Democratic Fascists

Obama's small donors, donating $200 or less, have actually outraised McCain by themselves throughout the campaign. That is an incredible statistic.

And many of those who make the trip out to Denver to be a part of that historic speech in Invesco Field will have to earn their way through the door.

In a half-hour interview Wednesday with The Denver Post, Obama's deputy campaign manager, Steve Hildebrand, said he wants to use the ticketing process as a massive recruitment tool meant to bring in supporters from all 50 states and energize them to carry the campaign into the final 60 days of the general election.

"We're going to ask those 80,000 people in that stadium to march out of there and go with very specific instructions and goals to register millions of new voters," Hildebrand said [...]

By seating the 6,000 delegates down on the field normally defended by the Denver Broncos, and by keeping the number of journalists, technicians and VIPs at the same level as those attending the Pepsi Center events earlier in the week, the campaign could bring in more than 60,000 members of the public, Hildebrand said.

As a battleground state hosting the convention, Colorado will have access to the largest percentage of public tickets, but Hildebrand wants to draw significant support from neighboring states, such as the other Intermountain West battleground states of New Mexico and Nevada.


People getting involved enough in politics to out-fund special interests and lobbyists and corporate donors. Using their passion and energy to mobilize other voters and get their voices to be heard in the process.

Buncha fascists.
