What If The Next Few Obama Rallies Turn Into "No Show Rallies"?

Posted on 05/08/2012 6:56:09 AM PDT by Reality_News

Ohio was embarrassing enough,but what if it happens again in Virginia,North Carolina,Nevada,Colorado and Pennsylvania? Are we going to see staunch Obama supporters either knocking on doors/making phone calls begging teeny boppers/aka/kool-aid drinkers to show up at rallies? Even offer free kool-aid and "hotdogs"? We need to wonder what the campaign is doing now.It's not easy getting a few thousand angry Americans in a purple state to show up at a "Liberal Radical" rally.

It is claimed that that picture of the half empty stadium was taken an hour after Barry left.

When it gets closer to November, they’ll call in the music.

In politics, if you think fewer reporters will show up, you change your setting to a smaller location, cozier. Easier to pack, and crowd noise seems so much louder. Camera angles are scoped out early and fixed.
Otherwise, your candidate may be speaking to an empty arena.

the commie crowds will be down from 2008, even if they are paid. The bigger question is how does obamney draw crowds unless he names Sarah Palin as VP?

Which begs the question, why didn't Urkel's people simply release a pic from an hour earlier?

Or did The Secret Service forget the camera?

They will just do what they did in Europe before the 2008 elections- throw a free music concert then have Obama show up and give a political speech and make it look like the throng was there to see him.

No rally...."security reasons"...

Let's face it...Obie and Michelle don't really want a second term.

And where did Michelle disappear to??

Team Obama will fill the stands with nonvoters and new voters much like they did in 2008.

I fully expect to see high school teachers bring their classes to Obama rallies being held on college campuses across the nation. In both cases the teachers’ unions will provide extra credit for their students “voluntary” participation.

We are already seeing this trend - look at the location of the Ohio rally and where Obama is ging some of his campaign centered speeches. He has already given one in a high school for Pete's sake; how many registered or likely voters were there?

BTW - I trust no poll, good or bad for Obama, that samples only registered voters. Historically those polls that sample only likely voters are more accurate. BL - remember the media created Obama and are doing everything up to and possibly including financial suicide to get him reelected.

They’ll have to rehire SEIU members to cheerlead.

Yeah, but Obama cannot do smaller. Remember Germany and Denver with the columns. Going small will deflate him like a dirigible.

We won’t know about it since the legacy media is so in the tank and such willing accomplices that there won’t be anything published by them.

Fox News last night showed a photo of the half empty stadium from behind stage right with Zero at the Podium. it's a bitch when facts get in the way of a good story for the Prestitutes and Mouth pieces.

In Texas, LBJ went to the barrios and gave out free tamales and long-necks, so giving freebies to their base has been SOP for Dems for decades.
