The problem with crowd size is that it doesn’t necessarily mean the crowds that turned out for Obama 4 years ago are not voting for him or are less excited. Their new messiah is known to them now.
It is the same thing with signs and stickers. He was new and when something is new we celebrate.
A new marriage,a new baby, a new house, are all times we celebrate. After the marriage is 4 years old, or the baby is 4 etc, doesn’t mean we are love our spouse, child or home less.
I’m with you. I’d like to see side by side comparisons, too. I know it’s been reported Romney had 30,000 at a stop in Ohio yesterday. Obama had 2,000 (total stops?). I saw a post a few minutes ago where there were only 200 show up for Obama at one Ohio rally (with Stevie Wonder). So what if it’s not a reliable measure of Tuesday’s outcome? Comparison shots for the last 3 days would still be interesting.
