Brack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden made their last campaign rally appearance in a nearly half-empty college arena in Cleveland today.
CBS News' Mark Knoller Tweeted that the Democrat National Committtee says that the 13,600 seat arena had about 8,000 in attendance for the rally held at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center.
Before the rally, the Associated Press speculated that the crowd was not going to fill the arena.
Obama's (sic) was expected to appear about 2:30 p.m. at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center. A crowd was trickling in about an hour before the president was expected, raising questions whether the arena, which can hold up to 14,000 people, would be filled.
At 1:30 p.m., only the lower bowl was full, though hundreds of people had crowded onto a portion of the floor before the stage.
Knoller's Tweet:
DNC says there were 8,000 people at the Wolstein Center at Cleveland State Univ. Full capacity is about 13,600.

Barackobama.com? Hmmm... It’s all about “me me me me”.
Brown’s ain’t playin’ today!
Which is a good thing. The fans can watch some real football at home.
That's an staggeringly low attendance for anyone of note, much less a current occupant of the Oval Office.
I have seen twice that many people at the speeches of much less prominent figures.
Actually, I think you could be very wrong on that.
Tea Party Could Put Record Number of Black Conservatives in Office

Someone mentioned on a thread about this-and there have been a couple-the seal.
It's kind a “Where's Waldo” thing, just like the John Lebowitz / Stephen Colbert comedy show yesterday.
The seal and the Flag.
2. The Presidential Seal.
3. The other Eight Thousand Food Stamp Recipients.
4. Enthusiasm.
5. Common sense.
They missed their opportunity. The Moose could have filled in a row of seats just by planting her behind in one of them.
This disgusting woman deserves everything we can throw her way.
It’s getting harder and harder to look at that big-eared lying anti-American.
LOL!
Look. folks, what do think, American Blacks are fools? They know they backed the wrong dude (Obama) and they want to distance themselves away from him as fast as they can. Expect a low turnout of American Black voters come Tuesday. Now, if they really want to broom this America hater, Obama, they should get and vote for the some thirty-eight Black folks that are running as Republican/Conservatives, but I suspect, many will just sit on their hands and not vote at all!!! Shame, because they have a golden opportunity to show America they love the country more then their race!!! The time for assimilation all around has come. Following a hateful dude like Obama will get American Blacks nowhere quite quicklY!!!!
He should have had a band..........LOL
I hope the parents of these idiot kids that voted for Obama last time have CUT THEM OFF!!
the decline of the obottoman empire !!!
Guessing that they were AIDS people heckling Bammy again.
I wonder: is Obama an arena-half-empty or an arena-half-full kind of guy?
Right on, Brother!
Last campaign stop? Isn’t zero going to DE on Monday night?
