Well let's be fair here. If you go the link you will see a photo of the enormous crowd...wait a second...well golly-gee...there actually isn't any photo.
If this were truly 24,000 there surely there would be photos to prove it. Gave it a good strong Google search and found a video and a single still photo. The photo is small, the video inconclusive as to the crowd size. Of the momentary glimpse of the crowd coupled with the crowd volume I would be generous and say maybe 10,000 at the most.
If this were truly a Romney-esque-sized crowd you know the net would be peppered with photos and videos to push the appearance of an energized constituency. Not seeing it and no reason to belief it.
And if you can manage to get through the video of the rally you surely would agree that this is not a campaign/candidate that is projecting calm assurance and confidence but instead a man with bubbling anger bouncing around just under the surface. His speech, his body language, his facial expressions and his tenor show a desperate man who surely knows his fate.

That’s exactly right. Very good point.
And again I will say it is worth checking out the video to see the palpable anger from Obama. Not the image of a winner.
“Of the momentary glimpse of the crowd coupled with the crowd volume I would be generous and say maybe 10,000 at the most.”
I understand that the Romney crowds in Ohio have been similarly inflated. I hope Romney is not trying offset the recent polling shortfalls by ginning up crowd attendances.
seating capacity is 25,000
It must have been awfully full
lol
