I live in Columbus, OH less then 2 miles from the event .... I had to work ....
14,000 people turned out to a 18,000 seat arena .... 20,000 if you count
floor seating ..... to go to the speech you had to be there 3 + hours before the
event. The empty seats were in bad sight lines or at the top of the stadium.

Mitt Romney has never had >10,000 for any event he has had during his entire
campaign.
