You don't have to compare it to anything to know it's pathetic. Romney rented a 65,000 seat stadium, his people said it sold out in 2 hours and then 1200 people showed up. That is beyond embarrassing. I mean it's right in the middle of the Michigan campaign and he's spending millions here, he could have bribed a few thousand homeless people with food and drink to at least save himself this humiliation.
Romney is toast in Michigan, he might have bought it for next Tuesday, but he has zero chance of carrying it in November.
