In the close-ups I find it interesting how many red shirts I see, as that is supposedly the “Republican” color.

I saw a few groups with similar colors on their shirts as well. A yellow, blue, etc. Granted, I'm color blind a bit, but they do seem to be grouped together -as in a game or something.

You should remember that I-70 is below the level of Memorial Dr. So you wouldn't see it. Also, note how there is a "line" at the rear of the crowd...it doesn't just taper off. That also indicates a boundary. The flag on the background appears to be hung from a scaffolding used to hold lights or speakers.

As much as I'd like to bust the picture, it appears legit.

In my neighborhood, red is a gang color.

O’S PLUMBER: JOE’S A JOKE!
NY Post ^ | 10/18/08 | Adam Nichols

Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2008 8:26:14 AM by DallasBiff

“That Joe the Plumber isn’t even a licensed plumber,” said the Democrat, union member and strong Obama supporter.

“He’s taking our work. [John] McCain talks about the middle class, and then he brings up this guy as his champion. The middle class is being hurt by people exactly like him,” said Dunn, who lives in the Chicago suburb of Oak Forest and has an 8-year-old daughter.

“The biggest problem for this industry is that people like him turn up, unlicensed and working illegally, and they take work away from people who are working aboveboard.”

Dunn said he began working on Obama’s house - and its six bathrooms - four years ago and has returned roughly every six months to do such tasks as fix leaky faucets and, in one case, investigate a “bad smell.”

Troy Dunn, 44, a licensed journeyman working for Boersma Plumbing in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood, where Obama lives, told The Post that Wurzelbacher was bad news for the profession.

I would love to believe that this is fake — you sure about this???? I thought it looked a tad odd but not being familiar with the area, was not sure.

While it probably is a true picture, the buildings in the back round do look a bit odd and not part of the picture.

This isn’t going to win him any new voters. It’s just another petty attempt to keep up with the Palin/McCain juggernaut.

Sort of reminds me of the first debate, "I have a bracelet too." comment he made.

Look McCain/Palin, I can draw a crowd too.....

And why is he doing this where he SHOULD be drawing crowds of this size?
