This is the crowd gathering at a hillary raly in FL Oct 20, 2008
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.

That’s indicative, along with the SNL ratings being the best in 14 years.
The 45K population number for GJ is misleading. The immediate area has more like 150K. Still, a 22K turnout is superb. If they’d had a bigger venue they would have gotten an even much bigger crowd.
