(Pontiac - AP, October 28, 2004, 7:33 a.m.) President Bush has fired up thousands of his Oakland County fans, who waved cardboard "W" cutouts and red, white and blue pompoms during an evening rally at the Pontiac Silverdome. "I'm asking you to get your friends and neighbors to vote," Bush told the enthusiastic crowd Wednesday night. "Make sure you don't overlook discerning Democrats like our friend Zell Miller." Miller, a Democratic senator from Georgia, appeared with the president and First Lady Laura Bush.

The rally drew about 20,000 people, one of the best turnouts of his campaign. rest of story

Okay, what's the real number in attendance? Considering AP overestimates Kerry's crowds by a factor of at least three, I'm guessing there were a lot more than 20,000 in Pontiac. Further, Bush has spoken to several crowds well in excess of the 20K the Associated Press grudgingly acknowledges.

It could have been somewhere between 20-30,000. That place was jammed packed.

I screwed that PageSix post up royally, it should be...

BROOKLYN Dodgers pitcher Ralph Branca, who served up the famous home run ball to the Giants' Bobby Thomson, at Langan's looking for The Post's Steve Dunleavy to thank him for his moving front-page column about sending his son Peter off to war . .

Sheesh on me!

Yes W has had many, many crowds of 20,000 plus...maybe they meant in Michigan it is a record? He is in Saginaw MI today and the crowds look at least as big as yesterdays...

I am beginning to think that Kerry has a serious balloon fetish..

Way too many photos of him in his goofy Sox hat...I liked this one because it shows off his false teeth,,hee hee
