An enormous rally for Mitt Romney in Bucks County, PA had people incredulous and tweeting like fury:
@robertcostaNRO my mother is at the Bucks County Romney rally. Says she has never seen a crowd like this. Dwarfs the Bush '04 rally crowd at the same farm.
@robertcostaNRO "The rally doesn't even start for hours, but it feels like a Republican Woodstock." -- my mom, calling from Yardley, PA, a swing area.

From Twitchy:
The rally isnt scheduled to begin until 5:30 pm ET, but tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians have already descended on Bucks County, Pa., to show their support for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The Pa. rally comes on the heels of a massive rally in Cleveland just hours ago.
How big is the crowd? No official figures yet, but some Twitter users say at least 25,000:
@klittleton1 At Romney Victory Rally in Yardley PA. More security here than #Benghazi at least 25k-30k #tcot
@fran chambers According to a source familiar with tonight's Romney event, 30,000 people are expected to attend.

I was there too. It was amazing. I didn’t see you there. But then again I don’t you. How would I know you if i saw you....smile.
If you see posts of interest to Pennsylvanians, please ping me...
On Wednesday, November 14 the State House Committee has scheduled a hearing on HB 2029, the American Laws for American Courts bill.

Supportive phone calls to State Representatives are needed to get the bill out of committee. A turnout of 40,000 would be even better!
I’m 6’7 and I was wearing a walking boot. I stick out haha.
Mitt’s gonna be in Manchester NH on Monday night, and a friend got a ticket for me to go with her daughter and a friend of theirs. Unfortunately, I’m in MS right now, and won’t be back to MA until almost 9pm on Monday! AACK! I would have LOVED to have gone with them!
The event was in Milwaukee.
Bucks County, PA.
AWESOME!!!!
Oh yes, PA is definitely in play.
Obama is sending Bill Clinton to the democratic stronghold of downtown Pittsburgh today for a “rally”. I still do not see Obama signs in any number, Obama ads are on our television (the evil Bain capital of Mitt Romney - yawn). Romney is all positive, Obama is all negative.
Oh yes, I really do believe PA is in play. A friend of mine was in the eastern part of the state last week. She reported that Romney signs are literally EVERYWHERE, Obama signs are here and there, very sparse.
Oh how I pray that the people of PA are now awake.
I have faith that many, many more eligible voters will legitimately vote for Romney.
Sadly, I think the Obama voter fraud machine is a BEAST that we will be unable to defeat.
I PRAY that I’m wrong.
I have been praying and praying....
that is why I asked because i saw that the venue held less and yet he gets nearly double, what , did they all sit on each others shoulders?
I’m going to see Romney tonight in Manchester, NH. I can’t figure out when I should get there based on all of these reports of huge crowd sizes. I have tickets. The doors open at 7:30 and Romney comes out at 9:30. Does anyone know when I should get there to get a decent seat? I don’t want to end up way up in the balcony, or worse, without a seat. Do I have to show up at 3? Or is getting there around 7 going to work? I don’t think I’ve ever been to one of these before.
voter fraud but more to the point we have millions of racist blacks who will never vote if obama were a white guy, and then we have the food stamp welfare layabout trailer park meth labs voters
You’re on the VA list.
Joe Trippi’s analysis seemed on target. Both sides truly feel they will win. However Romney plans to return to Fla. (which he believed he locked up) not knowing if team Obama knows somethiing they don’t. Likewise Clinton will campaign in Pa. (State never in play) in the event team Romney knows something they’re not picking up. One side will be shocked and sorely disappointed Tuesday evening. I pray it isn’t our side but with ties all over the US, it could go either way.
I was at the Bucks county rally and was about 20th in line. (Forgot to reset the car clock for EST so was an hour earlier than early.)
They had about 20 metal detectors manned by TSA that were ready to go at 2 but didn't open 'til near 3. There was still a line at 6 or thereabouts so many just stood outside the fence where they could see and hear the action from a distance.
IMHO, get there 2 hrs. before the official gate open time and have an empty bladder.
I was there! It was unbelievable! People coming from every direction in long continuous lines. The Romney people we were told were totally unprepared for the outpouring of people- and it was frigid and windy out there. We barely got in before Romney spoke because of the enormous line. Getting out was just as difficult- harder than getting home after a Phillies game. I am so hopeful after witnessing that last night. People are energized in PA.
I don't know. It's a well populated area of the country. I remember back in 2000 when Bush came to Glenside and there were so many folks there I was sure it signalled a win for W in Pennsylvania. While I do think PA will be very close this year, I don't think the size of this rally is a good indicator of anything. We just have a lot of people here.
I was at that Glenside Bush rally. It was NOTHING compared to this one. You cannot compare the two.
Thank you!!!
