Wow! I didn't know about that (as you might gather, I was on vacation for the last week or so...of course, you can see that my antenna are always up).

That's very impressive. Dry heat or not... 8^). Seriously though, it is not uncommon for the Florida events to be equally (more?) miserable (depending on where you fall on the humid heat vs. dry heat debate) and still draw incredible crowds.

Meanwhile...lil' Johnny Edward's draw in Orlando a week (or so) ago: 12! (or something like that, it was pathetic)

Just looking at today's Gallup poll that shows Bush 50 - Kerry 47. I''m really starting to believe the theory that Gallup and all the Kerry media allies at really playing with the margin of error (MOE) to make it look better. The old "+/- 3 on either side to keep it close" trick. If you believe that theory, then the race is more like Bush 53 - Kerry 44; or Bush 52 - Kerry 45. That seems to be more reasonable given the crowd assessment. But, if the partisan media didn't mess with the MOE, then Kerry would have no mo' (as in Uncle Mo', as in momentum).

We'll see how it shapes up, but I'm getting more and more positive about how the campaign is shaping up, especially going into the GOP convention.

And, I have good reason why to suspect that: just today Terry McAwful is out there, toting the old "convention is going to be a shame/convention is a circus" line...that must mean we are in good shape to do serious damage to the McAwful and crew.
