“Was that really 15,000..? Went over to the AP link, they said this:
“In the 4,200-capacity Phoenix convention center packed with flag-waving supporters”..........
are they just being petty losers?”
The 4,200-capacity was just inside the Pheonix convention center. There were thousands more outside of the center too.
There were also 14 to almost 15,000 watching the speech streaming on youtube (I was one of them).Someone mentioned on the speech’s live thread that there were also other internet sites live streaming the speech. So regardless of how many were in the center and outside, there were a lot of people watching online.
