1. . . .

waaaahhhh!!!!

[Surya Gayatri]

2. Oh, the humanity!!! Bwahaaaa!

That was so bad it was good--like a parody. Daily Show worthy!

[janx]

5. Why didn't Mitt's rally get media attention?

From what I've read online today, all the attention seems to be something about some empty seats in an upper stadium balcony in Ohio. Why can't the media cover Mitt's rally?

[Surya Gayatri]

19. They wouldn't dare--the game would already be up

and the horse race over. Can't have that or ratings will plunge!

[janx]

23. This is true

and the main reason I don't pay for satellite TV anymore.

[CTyankee]

3. Inspiring! Riveting! Electric!

[janx]

6. Freaking *barnburner* of a rally,

hmmm?



With all of the attention being paid to the lackluster crowds Obama garners, why no coverage of this magnificent event?

[CTyankee]

8. Well, if you ask me, Obama could learn a few things about whipping up enthusiasm

in his rallies from the guy who made the introductory remarks (sorry, I didn't get past the Pledge of Allegiance...). There was real charisma, the likes of which we have rarely seen before.

Obama needs some help in getting his crowds worked up...

[janx]

14. Pssst...

I got just past the Pledge of Allegiance and started falling asleep when that guy went into how our country is slipping away.

[CTyankee]

16. I figured when he whipped out his speech that he would overwhelm me with

passion that I simply could not control...I started having palpitations and had to stop watching...

I need to lie down...

[janx]

24. Well, there

*was* music. The acoustics weren't stellar, but it's content that counts.

[Surya Gayatri]

20. From the opening pledge, I felt

a thrill of anticipation, a catch in my throat, and then HE appeared!

Faced with this enthusiasm gap, Obama is doomed, doomed I say!

[lillypaddle]

22. Wow,

you made it until HE appeared! I'm impressed!

[lillypaddle]

4. Nice rally

starts with some guy sucking his teeth.

[janx]

7. For a minute I thought

someone might start to cry!

[CTyankee]

10. Charming and handsome guy, wasn't he?

obama may as well just give up...it's over...

[lunatica]

9. By this time in Obama's campaign they didn't have venues large enough

His rallies were being held outdoors because there was no venue large enough.

Even McCain's rallies were larger than Mitt's at the same time in his campaign.

[janx]

11. Damn, I found *another* one! C-SPAN covered it.

This is in Portsmouth, VA and attracted even more people. And look who is there to introduce Mitt:

[Scuba]

12. Huge crowd. Two, three dozen.

Plus nearly five unpaid attendees.

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. That second guy REALLY should get himself some shirts that fit.

[Laxman]

15. Nothing Says "I Love America"..

more than sticking some flags on bags of concrete! First we have the Pledge of Allegiance, then we bash the President, next we declare the importance of letting the rich get richer. All the finest fundamental principals of a strong democracy.

[dmr]

17. He could at least come out singing ...

or would that have been too taxing for him?

Did I say tax?

[janx]

25. Sshhh!

[Island Blue]

18. That was about as exciting

as watching wet cement dry. Of course that would be a bit of an exaggeration.

[janx]

26. It is Mitt

appealing to the common man.

[Scurrilous]
