All questions » Politics » US Election 2008 » valornhonor Number of times Senator Obama says "Thank You", start of speech
Voided
Market voided in accordance with Hubdub rules. Category editor didn't approve and has no plans to count words in a market.
Background:
I just watched President Bill Clinton be introduced in Denver, the crowd was beside themselves with joy to welcome him and by my count he said "Thank You" thirty one times before the crowd finally quieted down and he began the meat of his speech. Wondering about how many times Senator Obama will say thank you, when he first approaches the podium Thursday at Invesco Field? More or less than 31 times??
I'll watch it carefully to record the number and update this tomorrow.
