Obamasama and 250,000 Northern Virginia residents woke up to NO ELECTRIC POWER.

Everything else was a mess.

I'd guess 2500, tops!

[bruinbirdman]

Well, he didn't provide a free rock concert.

They need to learn to have a popular band for free concert like the last big gathering.

...The Pavillion holds 25,000 for concerts...gee, thought they might make the comparison to the Oregon affair several weeks ago when 75,000 showed up while BO talked - except that it now turns out that that affair really was a rock concert - free no less - with Obama speaking at half time - a small detail that for some reason the MSM didn't report.......

[lonestar]

Due to an act of God?

All this talk of Obama swinging VA is missing one point, Tidwater. Kerry beat Bush 65-35 in Nolfolk VA, Obama will not beat McCain by that Margin, 57-43% will be my guess.

Has the wave crested already?

[Leo Carpathian]

Operation CHAOS terminated?
Republicans staying home, not interested in Obamaramadingdong’s: “uhm, aaah, as I said before, blah, blah, blaaaah, bla....”

[dead]

His last public appearance without a major rock band. They’ll have no shortage sycophant musicians jumping at the chance for the gig.

[R_Kangel]

Yep, The MSM hasn't caught on to the fact that the crowds at the "BIG" Rock Star turnouts were actually there to see Oprah or the Free concerts of the real Rock Stars.

The MSM only reported on the BIG crowds during the concerts and special appearances by celebrities to create the illusion of popularity and NEVER reported the small turnouts because it didn't fit into the MSM/Obama agenda.

The Liberal reality is an illusion.

[rabscuttle385]

The only folks I know who showed up were younger and students. Everyone else in Northern Virginia actually works for a living or just doesn't give a damn about Mr. Obama.

[mylife]

Bingo!

And the kids wont show up on election day.
They never do.

Oh, they show up for MTV rock the vote partys and that sort of thing, but when it came time to “vote or die” they were at home smoking doobies.

[Patrick1]

Correct. Osama won’t draw big crowds again until late August. Then the college kids will be back and he gets his crowds again.

[ncalburt]

Where is the Drudge Report Headline and the planted by the Obama camp. Obama must have given Matt Drudge the night off after his Obama website orgy on Monday- Wed.

[mdittmar]

“Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show” would be a good theme song for the democrat national convention in August.

[Paul8148]

Hmmmmm. That is an interesting point. I wonder if the Obama campign is going to strugle over the same origizing college towns and the stuff..

[rabscuttle385]

And the kids wont show up on election day. They never do.

But I do. Well, actually, I vote absentee, since Engineering School generally owns my life during the regular semester.

It's such a pity that the GOP couldn't field a proper candidate this year.

Obama will not beat McCain by that Margin, 57-43% will be my guess.

I'm not sure Obama will beat McCain in Tidewater at all. The Tidewater area is heavily military, and heavily Navy. This is the Tidewater's bread and butter, and Obama's comments on reducing the military would directly, negatively, effect *their* pocketbooks...
