Big crowd ping! Palin 22K yesterday.

Obama was in Tampa Bay, directly across the street from the Buccaneers stadium, a city of four million in the Metro area- while Grand Junction is a hundred miles west from Colorado Springs in the middle of the Rockies, population 45K- HALF THE CITY CAME OUT TO SEE HER.

And ABC was breathlessly telling us about Obama’s 4000 person draw in Florida.

Do you have a link for that 4000 figure?

Good thing “her star is fading.”

Otherwise, she’d be busting up stadiums.

Record breaking for any kind of event in Grand Junction, I think. Obama only drew about 5 or 6 thousand in GJ a few weeks ago.

Barack Obama: Why I believe he should NOT be the next President by Americanmade 1776

What item does not belong in this list?

20. Obama smokes.

Seriously??? Why would you ruin a perfectly good list of valid reasons NOT to support this guy by inserting one of your apparent pet peeves?

Which explains why the lying scummy media stated that McC was pulling out of CO.

Just trying to diminish the vote.

The libs go nuts over “big tobacco”

If McCain were a smoker we would never hear the end of it!

He would be a “bad example” for kids.
He would be placing his presidential heartbeat in harm’s way.
Conspiracy theories about ties to the tobacco industry.

It would have been enough to sink a republican.
Worse than potato “e”

Rightfully so, since HE was the one that took on "Big" tobacco in the '90s.

Worse than potato “e”

Speaking of which, I was at a conference this summer and Bill Kristol told us the story behind that. Seems the answer card Quayle was given had it spelled with an e.

“Rightfully so, since HE was the one that took on “Big” tobacco in the ‘90s.”

Well..not really my point.
Even if he had not done this - just the fact he is the republican nominee would have made the difference.

Yes - I had read it was Quayle’s assistant who prompted the screw up.

Compare that to Biden’s bottomless gaffe-machine.

Replace No. 20 with

20. He thinks Americans who don’t support him are clinging to their religion and guns.

It’s a really touchy subject with the media. They refuse to publish crowd estimates, and they refuse to publish wide shots of Obama’s crowds unless they’re really impressive photos.

I think they’re hiding the truth (duh), they know Palin has the mojo that Barry doesn’t.

it is also an issue of the type of people who make up those crowds. Obama coordinates the crowd BEHIND him in camera shot. (remember the moslem woman taken off the stage during the heyday of “obama is a moslem” story?)

The MSM and obama crew can’t control the physical makeup of the crowd in front.

The ‘Rats are greatly underestimating the Republican turnout two weeks from today. I predict a McCain Palin win, possibly an even plate or slight loss in the Senate and a net gain in the House. If you have a McCain sticker on your car or sign in your yard, be prepared for vandalism.
