Ok--I went to the West Chester Rally last night. I had been wanting to go to one of the rallies for months now. I ALMOST went to the Lebanon Rally a few weeks ago--I used to live in Lebanon and still have a storage garage VERY close to the Golden Lamb-but it did not work out. Same with the Kettering Rally on Tuesday--had to work. and so on.
But when I heard that there was going to be a rally in W.C., about 12 miles from my house or less...on a Friday night--I decided i WAS going. So I got my tickets and went--with my sister.
I guess I picked the RIGHT Rally!! Of ALL four political rallies I have been to--one in 2000, for W--two more in 04 for W and this one--THIS was most definitely the BEST one --by far!! Everyone seemed so energized!! SO many people there!!
But I wonder...I know that in 2008--Sarah drew large crowds for rallies she hosted--but How about Mccain?? I never made to one then--though I tried to go to one with Sarah.
So--to those who where"there--or know someone who was and such--Were Mccains rallies ANYTHING like the ones this year--including Last night in WC?? And did they have the 'energy" of the one last night??
Or were they more like a "wake"" especially by this time in 2008??
Bravo to you! I attended a Dayton rally in September and there were around 3,000 at that one! Watched the West Chester rally on cspan and the crwod was HUGE!
Here’s a quick comparison...one of McCain’s last campaign events four years ago was in the same venue where Obama spoke yesterday. Both drew about the same crowd, just under 3,000. But the venue is in heavily Democratic Cleveland. In 2008, Obama drew almost 80,000 to a similar event in the city.
Romney had 30,000+ in suburband Cincinnati last night, and 18,000 in Colorado tonight. I’m going to his event in Newport News, VA tomorrow night. It’s supposed to be a quick rally at the Smithfield Foods hangar at the local airport. Guessing a minimum of 5K for that event, and possibly, a lot more.
Please people, don’t think of yourselves as “above the fray” on Tuesday. There is nothing noble about not doing your part (voting for Romney) in attempting to avert an American catastrophe. The Marxist Punk MUST BE STOPPED! Bob
I remember the crowds being huge because of Palin.
Obama just did McCain one better, he was the anti-American who won election to President. Thank you establishment Pubbies, the dumbest political people on the planet.
There were reports saying Obama drew 20,000 to his rally in Milwaukee today, but a quick check of the venue’s website shows that the room has a max capacity of 12,580.
Photos showed that areas were curtained off and some bleacher seats were empty.
Guess Katy Perry and her skin-tight Forward dress only goes so far.
I think Katy perry draws the 14-18 year old demographic in. Maybe some soccer moms trying to regain their youth but that’d be about it. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish with this...
