President Barack Obama appeared in Lake County for the first time Saturday as president and candidate for last-minute campaign stop at Mentor High School.

Obama spoke for about 28 minutes before an estimated crowd of 4,010 in the school’s gymnasium and a nearby overflow room.

Obama asked for help getting people to vote early and on Tuesday and for supporters to knock on doors and make phone calls asking for his support.

“I hope you’re ready Ohio, he said. “I hope you still have fight left in you.” ...........

That’s interesting. I wonder now you can estimate a crowd to be at 4010?

Maybe 4000 reporters and 10 ConEd union workers.

Could have swore news reports last night were that after targeting small locales and venues for some time they would be in the big venues this weekend. What happened?

The numbers aren’t there. Even his base isn’t moved.

And when your base isn’t moved, its over.

Mentor, Ohio is not exactly friendly territory for The One. Lake County is quite Red overall. Someone screwed up.

They made the same mistake earlier this week on Colorado Springs until Sandy gave O an out.

This is poor planning and poor use of time by his campaign. And when you’re short on time, it can’t be made up.

But a campaign is ultimately about the candidate and not his staff.

Well, these events are for the GOTV workers.
They’re not really for the voters.

Though I wonder why they aren’t doing events for voters like Romney is.

Because they know they’ve lost. Biden appeared in a high school gym in Wisconsin today in front of “more than 1,100 people who packed the gym.”

Yeah, he's the loser I was hoping wouldn't show up.

Just saw Obama live on Fox at a rally in Iowa. He’s supposed to be in Virginia right now. Apparently the Virginia rally at Jiffy Lube Live was a bust.

Jiffy Lube Live seats 25,000. This thing in Iowa looked to have a few hundred. It was hard to tell for sure, they were just doing closeup shots.

Jiffy Lube Live (formerly Nissan Pavilion at Stone Ridge or Nissan Pavilion) in Bristow, Virginia, the amphitheater can seat 25,000: 10,000 in reserved seats and 15,000 on the law.

This venue is right off I66 and it will be easy for Oboomu to bus in supporters from MD and NOVA. I suspect this will be a surprise photo op and how he drawing crowds

This Jiffy Lube Live thing was supposewd to start at 7PM. Obama is still in Iowa. I guess maybe he’s planning on making a late entrance so his lackeys have time to round up a crowd. HA!

This says he’s scheduled in Bristow at 11 pm.
Clinton and Dave Mathews Band there.

Be very noteworthy if he skips out...

Cela est très vrai (vrai is *Ve de tae* in Cajun French where I live).
Always have the good times rolling, sure hope so on next Tuesday.
Know for sure Romney is a lock in Louisiana.
And as the late Justin Wilson would say, I gar-run-teee.
