If she was the nominee the crowds would be off the chart so stop trying to build up that flip-flopping liar.
I would say 5000 was there and no more for the flip-flopping liar.
I don’t believe that... I believe that no matter the question or the plant, Mitt Romney can handle himself. He can get his ideas across to the television audience.
Promising to ‘double the number of drilling permits on Federal land’ isn’t enough.
Obama has shut down such drilling to the point where a doubleing won’t be very much.
Mitt needs to make it clear that drilling on USA soil & in the Gulf of Mexico will be widely opened up.
Don't ever make the mistake of misunderestimate SarahCuda. She's wise enough to stand back and let Romney shine in his moment, but as we've seen before, she can light up the world when she wants to.
Just the idea that she might throw her hat in the ring for 2016 may keep Mitt on the straight and narrow. I can't think of another soul who can do that.
Thanks RoosterRedux.

Duz we haves a crush on Sara? Look, I would have loved to see P[alin on the ticket, but she isn't there. I wasn't cutting her down, so I have to wonder at the nerve I seem to have hit. Mitt was my second-last choice of those running, but the more I see and hear, the more I like. If you need to vote for Ron Paul or Johnny B. Virgil Goode, have at it. Just try not to flip out in public - having a bunch of folks stare will likely really unsettle you.
Don't get me wrong - I wish Sarah was in the race and I believe she would be wildly popular. I was merely pointing out that it's human nature to lower the enthusiasm temperature once we become acclimated. I believe she would still draw huge crowds, but not likely to the same degree as when she was new and fresh and making such a contrast to McCain that we actually had a reason to want to vote. If she ever throws her hat in the ring, my checkbook will meet her there.
I looked for this thread to add my report- couldn’t find it until this morning- here’s my post:

Yesterday I got off work around 3:15 and drove the 20 minutes to Apopka for the Romney rally. It was sunny and HOT (Florida does not recognize autumn). As we wound our way through the lines I watched and listened. I heard latinos/hispanics talking about what socialism is like and how it’s unbelievable to see it happening here. I saw a great many YOUNG people with their kids in hand. I saw about 50% WOMEN- none of whom appeared to feel there is a war being waged on them. As I listened to conversations I was amazed to hear how WELL INFORMED this group is...they KNOW.
Because we got there early we were able to get seats in the shell. The wind changed and serious clouds approached from ALL directions. We’ve been deluged every day with horrendous thunderstorms lately and it looked as though we were about to get slammed. And yet...it never happened. All around us were storms, but not over us.
The amphitheater where we sat is surround by acres of open fields. I couldn’t tell how big the crowd was so at one point I stood on my chair and looked behind us. HOLY CRAP!! As far as my eye could see were people...THOUSANDS of people. It was breathtaking. I’ve been to many political rallies over the years...but honestly haven’t ever seen something like this. People parked their cars TWO MILES away and walked to the amphitheater.
After suitable crowd-pumping by local politicians, Mitt and Ann came out. The crowd roared. Literally. Endlessly. On our feet..it went on and on.
Romney’s stump speech has improved considerably and it has red meat for us- and personal stories for indies and undecided. What struck me while listening and watching...there wasn’t a teleprompter ANYWHERE IN SIGHT!! Romney knew what he wanted to tell us- he didn’t have to be prompted by anyone. Nor did Ann, nor any of the other speakers.
By the time Mitt came out, the clouds literally had broken up and the setting sun was lighting the evening sky..
You might consider posting that as a vanity.
