FOX reporting that there is a small crowd....

[dennis4868]

for Obama for his upcoming rally.

I am sure they are lying.

1. If it isn't over 100k, it's a "small crowd"

according to Fox.

[CrispyQ]

10. And if it is over 100k & for Obama, it's still a small crowd.

I remember in '04 even CNN would state that the crowd for Kerry was a few thousand. They would use a close in shot, but on the web, there were photos of people for blocks & blocks & blocks.

We start every election in a giant hole, thanks to our complicit media & electronic voting. How long are American's going to continue to believe that every election is a close one? :banghead:

12. Probably for a long while

Most Americans are complacent.

[zbdent]

15. and 12 people showing up for McCain is "huge" ...

(and that's counting the staff and the guy guarding the portapotties ...)

2. Well said! NT

[HelenWheels]

3. It is being held when most people are working

but I sure wouldn't trust Fox about anything.

4. if we apply the McCain/Palin exponential algorithim......

I am predicting that there will be 2.8 million people at this afternoon's event. :)

5. Typo! You said "million." Didn't you mean to type a 'b' instead of an 'm'?

[Clio the Leo]

8. no, I meant TRILLION!!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!! "billion" is SOOO last month. NT

[FightingIrish]

6. They did cover this huge crowd for palin yesterday

[BridgeTheGap]

14. Must of been a "before" shot, as they're aren't "fleeced" yet! n.t

[tabatha]

7. Looks like the stadium (?) is packed.

[ellacott]

9. Did they say which Obama

I think Michelle is at a rally with 200 invited people.

Barack is live now. We'll see how big it is when they show the crowd.

[bluestateguy]

11. You just can't win

Obama gets a large crowd and that means he is out of touch and impersonal.

Small crowd? That means the campaign is sputtering and lacking excitment.

[GreenEyedLefty]

13. When I saw him the crowd was around 1,000 people

BY DESIGN... it was a town hall meeting. However, there were thousands who lined up for tickets a few days before that.
