Empty seats in Jacksonville -- the place where a teacher got suspended for writing the "N" word on a public school blackboard when "teaching" his class about Obama. The place where there are no jobs for blacks.
What about telling us what the people there that filled the seats had on their minds?
Obama/Biden 08!

Obama and what he does not know...he didn't kno wabout Rev. Wright, he didn't know about Wm. Ayers, he didn't know about his aunt, he didn't know the San Fran article on bankruting the coal companies remark by him would come back to bite him, he doesn't know alot about who his friends are or what he has said in the past...and the majority of the country is do desperate for change they say so what to all this.
I must be the only woman in America who thinks the majority are projecting what they wish on just a mortal, imperfect man.

Jake -
It's amazing to think that you were covering this just a couple hours after Obama found out about his grandmother's death. This man has been carrying a heavy, heavy burden, and yet soldiers forward. I'm sure it's what Toot would want. Interested to hear your impressions about all of this.

Oh, Pahleeeeeeeeeze!
Give the Alien Aunt a rest!
Obama/Biden 2008!!!!!!!!

Obama has been monitoring his illegal- alien aunt for 18 months now. He knew she was here illegally and living in state housing. This is ridiculous. It's confirmed by an employee of Axelrod's firm. They've been montoring all his far-flung family snce the campaign began.

(1) 9100 people at Obama Jacksonville rally today
(2) 1200 people at McCain Tampa rally today
Both are/were Republican areas
-----
And to the cray coal posters--
That video has been on line since January 2008/ was the editorial board meeting of Obama and the SF Chronicle.
The next sentence Obama said the coal industry needs new technology to have clean coal (which he supports).
The head of the Coal Union is a McCain endorser using this as fodder when there is nothing there.
btw: Go to the JED REPORT as he has the video of Sen John McCain on the floor of the US Senate in 2006 arguing with Sen from Ohio about the need for Coal plants and McCain stating it is a false argument that jobs will be lost
Check it out for yourself
Stop repeating edited false talking points
Try the truth
You can still vote against Obama but at least know the facts

The Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena seats 15,000. Approximately one third of the arena seating was roped off.

I wonder what the stadium seating capacity is in Jacksonville for there to be empty areas in an estimated crowd of 7,000-9,000.

Those of you who can't see it can get John McCain to help you out with your technology. Ooops, forgot. McCain does not even know what a PC is!

BO says the one that wants it the most will win.
That would be ACORN and the media.

Jake,
Thanks for this blog. I've enjoyed it, even though half the posts (and posters) make me CRAZY! lol
You have been a unique and interesting voice during this election.
For that I thank you.
One more day Jake (or maybe two) and you can get your life back! :)

Let's compare this Monday morning crowd, estimated at 7,000-9,000, which by the way, was Obama's second Jacksonville stop since September (the first drew in excess of 20,000) to McCain's crowd of only 1,100 this morning in Tampa.
Enthusiasm in N.E.Florida - you betcha! The lines started forming before 3:00 A.M.

LOL Jake,
I'm loving these Vlogs, its like we are talking to you. Enjoy the last day of campaigning. And get some sleep. Sam-hello to Obama for us. Sam-hello to McCain too if you see him.

The RCP average is a better harbinger. Obama has a small 2 point lead in the polls. Please refrain from blank video screens for readers to project on.
