Glad to see her step up and take it. It’s gotta be hard for her to suddenly deal with these large crowds and intense scrutiny and I admire her for not only dealing with it but actually pulling up a chair and sitting in the lion’s mouth.

It is great if she can turn some marginal states into serious races and force Obama to spend more to defend what he thought was his. If she can sneak the GOP a win in Nevada and Pennsylvania and Colorado all the better.

I've noticed lately anytime Barry is speaking before an audience you never see shots of the crowd size.

Maybe he quit having the free concerts to draw people in. Saw a picture of him somewhere today and there was a crowd around the stage but it didn't seem very deep.

Yes, the libtards will show up. Freepers attending major GOP events this fall should always be prepared for a counter-Freep at a moment's notice.

Read about my Close Encounter Of The Weird Kind with a foulmouthed leftist outside of the Colo Sprs rally one week ago.

Keep a sign of your own in your car trunk for emergency use. ("PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE LEFTISTS" is a good general purpose one that I find works in almost all situations of this type). Or if not a sign, at least think out in advance what you're going to say and do to harass the harassers. If they were haranguing a crowd containing people who really want to hear them, then it would be wrong for you to try to compete with them in decibels. But when they are haranguing people who find their rants highly annoying and do NOT want to be listening to them, then I have no problem with following them and mocking them, especially when they are mocking Bush or McCain or Sarah or the GOP.

don’t know, but I bet it’s larger than anything Joe Biden can muster.

From the article (FR thread below)

The same day, Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. hosted a town hall meeting in New Hampshire with a crowd of more than 800.

BAHAAAA!! HAAAHA!! AHHAAA!!
BAHAAAA!! HAAAHA!! AHHAAA!!
BAHAAAA!! HAAAHA!! AHHAAA!!
BAHAAAA!! HAAAHA!! AHHAAA!!
BAHAAAA!! HAAAHA!! AHHAAA!!
BAHAAAA!! HAAAHA!! AHHAAA!!

I’m not one for crowds. Sat back and watched it on TV.

If I had the day off monday, I'd go downto Pueblo just to photo the Obama crowd.

Don't go, you would double the crowd size.
