Maybe it was a hot day and the hall was air conditioned
What's even sadder is that all the Repub candidates are vying for the nomination of "sacrificial lamb." There's no chance a Repub can win the presidency this time around.*


* unless there's widespread electoral fraud, of course.

38. If they were really locals who came to to hear him, wouldn't they move up front?
I think you're right- that's his campaign staff,
trying to spread out to look like a bigger crowd. :rofl:

12. Aww. Poor guy. You know, at least he went through with it, and spoke
to the few people who did attend. Give him some credit for that.

39. I feel sorry and embarrassed for him too, but why didn't he just
leave the podium and sit with the attendees and talk face-to-face?

17. Excellent. Brownback is a dangerous nut and it's very encouraging to
see such a profound and unmistakable rejection of his ugly politics.

Think of how far we've come! Three years ago people would actually have been listening to this guy.
