Sitting Room Only for Obama in Green Bay September 22, 2008 2:53 PM

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin packed the house last week in Green Bay, Wis., at the Resch Center.

Not so today in the same arena with Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., as ABC News' Sunlen Miller captured in these photos.

Apparently they need to hand out more cigarettes before the next rally

Your guess is as good mine - Obama doesn't look good to win Wisconsin... if intensity of turnout is any indication of where the two campaigns are right now in the contest.

I am honestly surprised that there were that many in attendance? (Wonder how many were actually from Green Bay and how many were bussed in)

I just don’t believe the polls.

The polls predicted that Harry Truman would lose the election, yet, wherever he went there were **enormous** crowds. The size of the crowds were the true indicator in Harry Truman’s case.

Wow...first merely 15 people show up in VA around Liberty to kick off Obama’s “Lack of Faith and Family and whatever else you bitter folks like” tour and now the day shift at Schlitz couldn’t fill up the auditorium in Green Bay WI..

The thrill...is gone...

Is Green Bay representative of the state, politically speaking?

I mean, I’m not one to put that much reliance on anecdotal evidence like crowd sizes etc., but when you start to look at things like 60,000 people at a Palin rally and a few grand at an Obama rally and virtually no one shows up at a Biden rally, it starts to make you wonder if these polls showing Obama in the lead, are bulls**t.

The total lack of energy in the crowd comes right through that picture. It truly does look like a funeral.

I’m shocked that more supporters of the Nitaly Lions didn’t make the trip from Pennsylvania.

They’re just bitter people in Green Bay clinging to guns, religion and the Packers.

It's representative for about the northern two-thirds of the state. Unfortunately, the population centers lie to the South and West of the state. JMHO. (I live near GB.)
