Hillary: Why Is Barack's Bigger than Mine?

Posted Jan 26th 2008 9:30AM by TMZ Staff

Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton spoke at Furman University in South Carolina last week -- but sources say Clinton is pissed because Obama upstaged her -- literally!

On Tuesday, Barack was given access to Furman's 1,400 capacity McAlister Auditorium -- while Clinton made her Thursday speech from the smaller, 500 capacity Younts Conference Center. Apparently, size does matter!

We're told Hillary's people were steamed when they realized that BO had a bigger room -- and complained to the organizers of the events. A call to Clinton's people was not returned.

2. Size doesn't matter in this case. How many people showed up for each? I'd rather be Hilary speaking to a SRO crowd than Barack speaking into an empty cavern.

3. Probably matters how many people were expected to show up. Obama is a more likeable guy so he gets bigger crowds.

11. My university booked rooms based on potential tickets sold, if Hillary couldn't fill the room oh well. Poor Hillary, she is such victim, everybody is out to get her and she is just poor little girl with no power, no resources, and no way to defend herself....oh, well unless you count the fact that her husband was president, she is a sitting U.S. Senator and they are multimillionaires with TV cameras reporting every word they say...however does she manage with so few resources. Poor sweet defenseless little thing.

12.
We've had the Clinton's 8 yearss and the Bush's 12 years - another 8 years of Hillary IS NOT CHANGE PEOPLE.

13. Probably because she is a totally socialist and the world is starting to see right through her. He's just one step above her from the same cloth. Liberalism is the end of this country, Bush has the same liberal thinking as a democrat!!

14. Hillary will get over herself.It aint that damn serious. Act your age not your shoe size

15. They are just like 2 small children on the playground. Of course BO will get the bigger room because he is black. I hope America will not elect a black racist man to the White House. He is a member of Trinity United Church of Christ who only lets black people in the doors. tucc.com Read it for yourself. He does not recognize God and his family bilble is the Koran because of his muslim upbringing by his radical muslim stepdad. I would rather have a lying Clinton than BO if they were the only choice.
