This kind of turnout worries me. Has GW ever drawn that many? 10,000 is the most I've heard. Of course it could be just the reporting, duh.
Easily. In Cincinnati a couple months back I tried to get in duirng his visit at the Cincinnati Gardens. It normally holds 12,500. It was obvious they allowed more in than the normal capacity, and I estimate there were 5 to 8,000 of us did not get in.
Only saw about 200 protestors.
In 2000, we had a rally for George W. Bush that had 20,000 people. Our liberal rag of a paper called it "several thousand". Do NOT believe what you read, friend! They overplay Kerry crowds and underplay the President's crowds. I have seen it over and over and over again.
