Dems might counter-program GOP rally

Dems might counter-program GOP rally


Posted: 02:42 PM ET

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) — Call it the battle of rallies.

Barack Obama campaign sources told CNN's Gloria Borger and Jessica Yellin that Obama and his running mate, Joe Biden, will have their first post-convention joint rally Friday, likely in Pennsylvania.

That's the day after Obama gives his presidential nomination acceptance speech, wrapping up the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

And it's also the same day that John McCain is expected to hold a rally in Dayton, Ohio. The conventional wisdom is that the Ohio event could be the first public appearance of McCain and his yet to-be-named running mate.

Obama sources say the joint appearance by Obama and Biden could be a good way to counter-program the Republicans.

1. McCain is trying to get 10,000 people to show up at their rented site
they having to bus them in.



Obama and Biden could get 100,000 without even trying in Phili.

3. Ron Paul's convention might have more people
The media won't be able to cover up the Republican Party's disunity for sure.

6. And you can bet Obama won't have a green screen behind him.
They'll be able to make a great comparison against McCain's speech.

4. Are they planning any kind of event in Minneapolis during the first
week of September? He could get a huge crowd there also. It would be funny.
