McCain-Palin Crowd-Size Estimates Not Backed by Officials

By Lorraine Woellert and Jeff Bliss

Sept. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Senator John McCain has drawn some of the biggest crowds of his presidential campaign since adding Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to his ticket on Aug. 29. Now officials say they can't substantiate the figures McCain's aides are claiming.

McCain aide Kimmie Lipscomb told reporters on Sept. 10 that an outdoor rally in Fairfax City, Virginia, drew 23,000 people, attributing the crowd estimate to a fire marshal.

Fairfax City Fire Marshal Andrew Wilson said his office did not supply that number to the campaign and could not confirm it. Wilson, in an interview, said the fire department does not monitor attendance at outdoor events.

In recent days, journalists attending the rallies have been raising questions about the crowd estimates with the campaign. In a story on Sept. 11 about Palin's attraction for some Virginia women voters, Washington Post reporter Marc Fisher estimated the crowd to be 8,000, not the 23,000 cited by the campaign.

1. They lie about everything. n/t

2. Advertisers who are caught lying about products are prosecuted.

Apparently there are no laws prohibiting campaign lies. Maybe we need some Federal oversight to clean this up.

3. Fact: the republicans installed mirrors and RNC convention to make the crowd appear larger than it

actually was.

Republicans lie about everything.

4. They cannot tell the truth

what new war and economic depression will they lie us into if they win. We cannot allow McCain and the people who now run his entire being win.

5. IT FEELS CRASS AND SIMPLE TO SAY, " THAT POLITICIAN IS LYING ! "

But Old Johnny Boy keeps lying away a storm. Him ,Palin, pretty much all of his staff are playing loose with the facts all day long on every issue.

John McCain is a lier.

But now that John McCain wants to call himself the front runner, he will be scrutinized much harder starting right about now..........


will he and Palin really stand up to scrutiny? hehe.

We in the net roots can drive the language. and the language for the moment is JOHN MCCAIN IS A LIAR.
