Have you noticed that many/most of Fn's public appearances are billed as "Town Hall Style" meetings and are held in small venues like high schools.
Whereas for President Bush they truly are Rallies and are held at large venues that become SRO.
These are the "numbers" that are believable as opposed to the polls. I like President Bush's chances...alot!
I have noticed...sKerry's, breck girls and spouses are all holding rallies in small venues. The camera angles make them look larger. When the camera pans the crowd at a GW rally it's HUGE. So they have to counter with these smaller sKerry ones with tight up close shots. That's one way the crowd size is disguised.
