Has anyone seen photographic proof of the 50,000

[LittleClarkie]

Bush was supposed to have drawn in Ohio the other day?

We see these massive pictures of Kerry's crowds all the time, but the only picture I saw of the Ohio crowd only showed the President and the people directly in front of them. If it was such a record crowd, one would think they'd want a picture of them all.

And I find myself wondering, is Bush touring his strongholds to shore them up, or just so that when these photo ops come up, he looks popular.

1. You don't need a pic.

After all, the Bush campaign has all those signed loyalty oaths, and the ticket receipts for all the people they bused in.

2. If you are referring to the Springfield, Ohio rally

for *bush, I don't think the enclosure at the Clark County Fair Grounds could hold 50,000.....I believe they said 10,000. Remember, we have Wright Patterson AFB here...Thats where *bush landed and the military personnel were no doubt expected to be there with their families.


There was 25,000 in downtown Dayton, on 48 hours notice when Kerry introduced Edwards as his VP selection......

3. I thought it was earlier

either Cleveland or Cinci. The report I read the other day sad it was on open event not just repub. It was also the first they mentioned conscription into campaign service. Anything to get the photo op/talking point.

4. Check the Cincinnati Enquirer...

... at www.enquirer.com I believe they had pics of the West Chester rally a couple of days ago, accompanying a story on the "huge crowd" of Kool-Aid drinkers who attended.

5. West Chester, that's it

I found a picture on the Bush blog.

Still doesn't look all that massive to me.

6. Hey guys -

That looks like a Kerry rally photo. It looks to me as there are more than 50,000. I've seen photos of Kerry rallys looking like this.

I've Never seen any bu$h rally photos with this many people.

7. There is a pic posted somewhere on DU

With a very good comment that compares the crowd to a football game crowd - for us cretins in the Deep South, it was very helpful. NO WAY are there near 50,000 people in the picture I saw!

Photo thread is in either GD or GD:C04 forum...

9. I heard that...

they handed out 50,000 tickets. That doesn't mean 50,000 people showed up. In fact, they said they average about 1 person for every 2 tickets they give out.
