BRISTOW, Va. (AP) — With the White House race in its final days, President Barack Obama and Bill Clinton hit the campaign trail together Saturday night.

Clinton, his voice hoarse from a flurry of campaign events, said he had given "my voice in the service of my president." The former president vouched for Obama's economic agenda, saying he had done a good job with a bad hand.

I’m surprised. Bristow isn’t usually what I’d think of as a hotbed of liberalism. There are a lot of true Virginia boys in that area.

The Dave Matthews Band.

That’s why there were 20K there if you believe that number.

It takes a South African to draw those kind of numbers for a North African.
How apropos.

Didn't Monica say something similar some years back?

We’ve already had one suspicious 20k event (Milwaukee) turn out not to be true so I’d be careful about this one too.

Events like this in Bristow, with Dave Matthews, draws from the libs in Arlington and Alexandria, most of whom are college kids who can’t vote in Virginia.

“President Bill Clinton will deliver remarks and Dave Matthews will perform at the grassroots rally in Bristow with President Obama.”

There weren't 25,000 at the Obama-Clinton event. Maybe 10,000. 9,000 in the pavilion and 1,000 on the lawn.

Wow. Steady stream of cold people trotting towards the exit in the middle of Obama’s speech.

So it seems Jake Tapper for ABC is the one reporting or tweeting these exaggerated numbers. He tweeted the false numbers for Milwaukee also.

There is only one explanation why the Clintons kiss obama’s ass. And that’s because they know the power of the presidency. Therefore, they know the Chicago thugs will take them down. If obama wins don’t be surprised if Hillary stays in as SOS. She’ll do what she’s told to do.
They don’t want to spend their sunset years in prison. Then again, obama won’t need them anymore and he hates them. Maybe Jarrett had the Clintons in mind when she said they’ll get revenge on people who were against them.

I think Obama supporters in the media are getting nervous about the lower numbers and energy on the Obama trail. Even Brian Williams admitted Obama doesn’t have the same stuff that he did four years ago and it showed with much lower crowd totals.
