So the Obama 08 campaign tells me to sign up early to be notified first when tickets to the big Acceptance Show are available and that will ensure a ticket will be mine. Now they tell me I can't go unless somebody dies or has some other plans. But, hey, won't you host a watch party at your house? It will be just as fun as being there. Really, it will.

Apparently, I was not the only person on the waitlist who signed up for the "first come, first served" tickets within minutes of their availability: Rocky Mountain News, Westword. I find interesting the comments that claim that volunteers were baited with special all-access passes in exchange for volunteer work, only to find out they had to perform the work by a certain date that was announced after the initial sign-up. I can't understand why people were allowed to continue to request tickets if there were none left to be had.

This is not going to make the Democrats' job any easier by pissing off several (forty?) thousand locals.
