2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: MONSTER crowd greets Obama in Colorado... [View all]Ellipsis
(9,457 posts)86. Ha.... thats a knee slapper.
"Appearing together, Romney and Ryan drew crowds of up to 7,000 people, dwarfing Romney's largest solo event last weeka speech to 1,600 at a manufacturing facility in Bettendorf, Iowa. And Romney, who is often restrained and cautious in the public eye, is clearly more ebullient and relaxed alongside Ryan, who campaign aides have dubbed "the partner."
Hard to rend lower when you're looking at 500 to 1600 for events then 7000's a big deal but that teeny tinnnnnnnnnny compared to Obama.

The local Republican Rag, The Denver Post, showed only a picture of Obama and a couple of fans.

You ask about Romney crowds? Apparently they are "insanely packed" (pic)

That's what I was saying to a friend of mine - 60/40 Obama. +-3 points.

The republicans are right. Enthusiasm for Obama has waned completely since 2008.
