3. I think

Kerry's deal was indoors with limited capacity, and Bush was outdoors, so I'm not sure if attendance is a good metric.

4. Bush but thats because kerry met with 200 leaders

thats why the pic is of him in a suit and Bush dress down at a rally. The head guy from bank of america and many others at Kerry's meeting. its good to see it. we need some heads of corporations too!!

[Sean Reynolds]

5. Ah, ok.

So it wasn't a rally.

6. Bush had a big outdoor rally

Kerry was conducting an economic summit with local leaders.

Apples and oranges.

[blm]

7. Kerry didn't have a rally, it was an economy summit with small biz owners.

Bush held a rally.

Kerry may have a rally there in the next few weeks.

8. I know that Kerry's event lasted over 2 hours

and Chimpy was in for a quick photo op.

Kerry met with economic leaders, speaking about real issues to real people.

Joe Trippi is on Hardball right now -- he says that Bush intends to follow Kerry all over the country so that Kerry won't get the upper hand.

9. Kerry's people were stupid to allow Bush to have a bigger crowd

This was bound to be a big national news item, probably the top story of the day.

They should have scheduled a rally to go along with his visit.

In the news it will now look like Bush had a huge crowd and Kerry had 200 people.

Bad strategic move from the Kerry campaign.
