I have never known an election in modern times where the incumbent, that is supposedly as or more popular than their last election, could not easily pack in large crowds at a stop. People want to be around a winner, especially a sitting president that was popular.
The fact O can attract only stragglers and the base tells me he isn’t winning. No one wants to be near a perceived loser!
Now we know why O is in terrible shape on the campaign stump.
On the contrary, people want to see Romney! Tonight’s OH rally will be packed to the rafters! Why? People want to see a winner, stupid!
