MIAMI, Fla. -- A low-dollar fundraiser here Monday felt like a throwback to the 2008 campaign.

There was the same old soundtrack – including “City of Blinding Lights” by U2, the president’s 2008 anthem -- the enthusiastic organizers and the abundant appeals for supporters to rally behind President Obama.

The one missing element? Overflowing crowds.

Granted, it was a fundraiser, not a free rally. But the empty seats were hard to miss.

Apparently quite a few people have opted for Shinola.

There was a time when the Back Street Boys could pack a stadium.

You know you’re being taken advantage of when they don’t even bother to find a new song.

But he’s a shoe in! Can’t be beat!

As Levin says.. I’ll vote for an empty orange juice can over this guy.

I just hope we have something better to vote for than Romney.

The people who gave all that money in ‘08 thought they were buying Single Payer and Card Check.

They won’t get fooled again.

Me too. In a race between Obama, Romney and the orange juice can, I am all in for the cylinder.

I’ll say it again; black support is not going to show up for 2012. They rallied and saw their dream come true. They’re done. Miami is a good indication of this.

And sadly we might get that chance with Baraq snatching victory with a Clintonian plurality.

IMHO Baraq loses any 2-way matchup

But I see Dems going heavy for Romney in open primary states as payback for Op Chaos.

That is indeed a possibility. This is why I am for people like Gingrich and Giuliani being in the mix during the primary.
