I was glad to see that number get out there, after what the cable networks tried to pull.

16. Tweety said "way more came to see Nixon"

I almost dropped my coffee cup.

Then that fool said something like,"Well that was a different era. Didn't have cable TV.)"

I thought he said there were about 12/35 thousand at most.

He kept trying to get the doctor to say that Big Sawg should still be resting bla bla bla.
The doctor said just the opposite...hahaha ha

Oh, I cried when I saw My Bill smile!
He loves politics so much and this really did his heart good.

18. I saw Matthews there.

And he's full of shit, look at the pictures I posted. I couldn't get close enough to slap him but My friends and I gave him an earful.

6. Just left rally in Warren, MI

Lines are up to 1/2 mile long, 6 to 8 across. Local radio reports "thousands". I was there and I say tens of thousands. Looks like a U of M football game. Couldn't stay. Bought some great buttons, though.

7. That's about what I figured as soon as I heard CNN report 'hundreds'

of supporters.

[Oddman]

12. That's what I heard too

"Hundreds of supporters here to greet Bill Clinton and John Kerry. Of course this rally will end up hurting John Kerry because Clinton has so much more charisma"

They are about as fair and balanced as Fox!

15. Chimp drags McCain along

with him, that must hurt chimp cause McCain has so much more charisma than chimpy.

[clydefrand]

9. I heard a few minutes ago that there were 120,000 people

there.

Wonder how many the chimp had today?

How often do you see his "crowds" like they show for the Kerry rallies? Rarely do I see anything other than the stone-faced supporters behind them and the canned boos and the canned cheering. I think they have too few to pan the cameras on and they don't want us to know how many people are really there or not there.

I also think the polls aren't accurate because those polled refuse to answer honestly because they don't know if they can trust the pollsters or not. Ashcroft might be lurking... those called know that their phone numbers and addresses are known. I think if one called me, I might not tell them whom I plan to vote for. I'd probably engage them in a conversation first by asking who they are and where they are from, etc. I can talk to anyone who calls; not a problem!

10. CNN said 100,000-120,000

[The_Casual_Observer]

13. Maybe chimp can show him up by traveling with his old man

or Ford or maybe reagan. Now that would generate some interest!:+

[Nicholas_J]

14. Polls showing Arkansas a tossup, Bush and Kerry equal

Clinton could have a big effect there.

[BlueStateGirl]

17. Peter Jennings just said 30,000. I was there. He's about 100,000 off.

[Cattledog]

19. CBS says 100,000!!!!!!
