Dan, do you have any idea what that's all about -- those small crowds Kerry is getting? Does that seem odd to you?

those small crowds Kerry is getting?

I have an idea why the small crowds in FL. Every Kerry event includes Bob Graham AND they let uncle Bob speak. It's excruciating!

400 isn't bad most of the time, but for a presidential rally? 400 is about average for governor rallies that I've seen.(Both Granholm and Posthumus). Our county Right to Life got 800 for a fundraiser($50) with Alan Keyes as top speaker. That's the best I've seen for non presidential.

Gore got about 3000(If I remember right) in East Lansing. Bob Dole got about I'd say 2000 in Brighton(Livingston County - GOP stronghold) back in 96.

Kerry couldn't break 1,000? I'll gaurantee Dean would have. I beat Edwards would too. Same with Clark. I just have not seen any excitement over John Kerry. I've seen anti-Bush, but not FOR Kerry. There is a lot of anti-Kerry sentiment from many who have followed him so far. Not like the anti-Klinton sentiment, but enough negatives to cause problems.
