This is Joe Biden's first appearance in the Scranton area since taking the Vice Presidency, and he was only able to draw a crowd of between 200-300.

He’s about as popular as a turd in a punchbowl.

Some enterprising reporter ought to ask for a show of hands as to how many in that small “crowd” were eligible to vote in Specter’s district. Inquiring minds want to know....

[sodpoodle]

Will he give a *shout out* to Michael Scott & the employees of Dunder-Mifflin?

[EternalVigilance]

This is one of the smallest crowds I’ve ever seen for someone of his stature.

If Biden had any stature Obama wouldn't have picked him.

No pics? They couldn’t even fake a pic it was so bad I guess. With Biden’s imagination, there were thousands.

This is more a manifestation of the "Green Zone Syndrome" that's swept over Congress since they pushed Obamakkkare down everybody's throat without knowing what was in the legislative package, or even caring.

It's not that Obama's lapdog Biden can't draw a large crowd ~ he can ~ but the Secret Service has been convinced that it would be TOO DANGEROUS.

Only a handful of local politicians got invited ~ and that's the way it's going to be for the foreseeable future for this crowd.

[Carley]

Biden brought at least 150 people with him to the rally.
