September 8th, 2012
As 11,000 enthusiastic supporters crammed into St. Petersburg to hear President Obama, Mitt Romney spoke to gathering of several hundred Republicans in an aircraft hanger in Virginia Beach.
The Washington Post reported, Hoping to blunt any momentum his rival has picked up in Florida since the GOP convention, Obama opened his bus trip in the Interstate 4 corridor, which cuts through the center of the the state from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic, with a rally for 11,000 in St. Petersburg, not far from Tampa. Obamas 30-minute speech closely tracked his nomination acceptance speech Thursday in Charlotte.
The Virginian-Pilot had this to say about attendance at Mitt Romneys rally, He spoke to several hundred people who had gathered hours earlier in an aircraft hangar to hear the Republican presidential nominee.
See the difference for yourself.
Obama's and Romney's videos @ link~
It might just be me, but 2012 is starting to look a whole lot like 2008. Obama is drawing tens of thousands in critical swing states, while Mitt Romney is speaking to hundreds. Romney is trying every gimmick in the book to get people to come and see him speak, as Obama is starting to pack them in. It is becoming clear that the Democratic convention fired up Obamas base.
Like John McCain in 2008, Mitt Romney just cant draw a crowd. Romney doesnt excite. Romney doesnt motivate and inspire. Mitt Romney is just the guy that you vote for if you dont want to support President Obama. Mitt Romney isnt offering America leadership or vision. He is the warm body that the Republicans nominated because they had to pick somebody to run against Obama.

If I were still naive and didn't know the m$m's game.. and I attended or saw one of these Rallies for the Prez..I would begin to suspect they have a big ol Agenda.
Just look at that crowd! Amazing! No enthusiasm? I think not.
