Obama Crowd Sizes 'Not Impressive'
Breitbart ^ | Nov.1, 2012 | http://cdn.breitbart.com/mediaserver/Breitbart/Big-Government/2012/Obamas/obama-disappointed-reuters

President Barack Obama today drew crowds of 2,600 in Green Bay, Wisconsin and 4,500 in Las Vegas, Nevada, a far cry from the nearly 80,000 people who showed up for a campaign rally of his during the last week of the 2008 campaign in Fairfax, Virginia.

New York Times reporter Mark Landler said the crowd sizes were "Not impressive for the last week of a campaign."

Yet they want us to believe its a neck and neck race..

This is nonsense.

6 days before the election and a sitting Democratic president can’t pull 5k people in an urban area, but this thing is going down to the wire!

Please... turnout will at least be R+3/4 minimal.

Indies will go Romney by around 2-1.

Obama will not get out of the low 40s.

Fight like its a neck and neck race, but this its anyones race is nonsense. Huge chunks of the population will crawl across broken glass to throw this bum out, and those that plan to vote for him can’t even offer an enthusiastic defense of him.

Its abject nonsense we are heading to a squeaker.

I've been seeing it on blogs all over the place since last night. Most seem to refer back to the Ulsterman Report. I don't know it well, but I have no reason to doubt it, knowing Jarrett's history.

Benghazi was a pivotal moment for me. I was considering going third party (as California was never considered a serious threat to Obama) but none of the third party candidates seem to be serious...

For me it was the selection of Ryan as VP. I have a great deal of respect for him and think it speaks well of Romney that he is willing to surround himself with intelligent strong people.

I believe that most, if not nearly all, the undecided voters at this point will either sit out the election or go for Romney/Ryan.

I think so to, but Rasmussen now has the race even and it is Romney that has been slipping. Needless to say I'm concerned.

There have been no local television ads or radio ads for Obama in California. There have been some PAC ads that mention Romney and Ryan, but generally they are also hawking local politicians.

As much fun as it is to think CA. might go for Romney the money spent tells the truth.

Overall it looks great for the House and I think Romney is going to win, but the Senate is a problem. Why is it that conservative candidates don't know how to respond when asked loaded questions about abortion? We should pick up MO. and keep IN., but both candidates dropped the ball big time! What's the point in picking up the Presidency, keeping the House and not getting the Senate?

We will see next wed. where we are.

I too live in California, down in San Diego. I drive to UTC area for work and I have seen quite a few Romney bumper stickers every morning. I have seen fewer Obama stickers. Co-workers of mine trick-or-treating with their kids on Wednesday night told me they even saw Romney yard signs, but no Obama yard signs.

I head into Pacific Beach just about every weekend. Four years ago houses there had giant Obama banners draped over the sides of the houses. Stickers and yard signs everywhere. Today if you drive into PB, you would not even know there is an election in a few days.

I do not believe for a second Romney has a chance to take this sorry excuse of a state, but I do know that the enthusiasm level for Obama is abysmal.

News break at 9 AM today said that NON-UNION utility workers that are streaming to NYC & New Jersy, etc, to help are being TURNED AROUND and TURNED DOWN.

There is no cure for stupid in NYC & New Jersey, apparently.

It will take weeks & months to get that area back to a place where they can start rebuilding. They are ignorant enough to turn away talented help from smaller utilities because they are NOT UNION????

WTF???

They have absolutely NO RIGHT to bitch one little bit when they are turning away help.

There are approx 5 million farmers/ranchers in the USA who have big tractors & front end loaders who could help them get the sand removed. I can guarantee you that they are not union, either.

Watch those helpers get turned away!!!

Why is it that conservative candidates don't know how to respond when asked loaded questions about abortion?

All they need to do is to say, "I am a devout practicing Catholic and my position on Abortion mirrors that of my Church. If that bothers you, then don't vote for me."

If they are protestant, then they might have a more difficult time since Protestant Churches are all over the map on the issue.

If you are a Protestant, I think all you need to say is something like you do not believe that children should be punished for the sins of their parents. Hard facts make bad law. Exceptions for Rape or incest and the hard facts. Killing the child because of the circumstances of it's conception is murder.

The problem is they dance around the issue and sound apologetic. They need to take a hard stand and then challenge the questioner with something like "Do you believe in the death penalty for children conceived in difficult situations?" "Do you believe that children who are anticipated to be burdens to their parents should be executed". Those sound bites will never make the news.

As long as all the people who are too lazy to work are also too lazy to vote, then Romney has a shot.

His small crowds vs Romney’s large crowd sizes and losses in early voting tell me where this is going. It’s good news for us.

I remember the reverse situation four years ago, and waiting for the inevitable.

Thank God we're on the other side this time.

Where is Ann Compton and whose rally is it?

I'm guessing it's Obama. How and where did Obama find 20,000 to attend a rally?

I have a different take on it. I think they get into trouble because they try to answer the questions honestly. They should be smart enough politicians if they are the candidate to answer along the lines of "Roe v. Wade settled the issue", or "this is such a complicated issue it should be resolved on a case by case basis by those most closely involved".

I think in both cases where we might lose the candidate answered from an intellectually honest and consistent position, but they were dumb answers politically. The end result may be the Rats keeping the Senate and if Romney is elected nothing getting done.

Any candidate who says "Roe v. Wade settled the issue has lost me as a voter. Roe v. Wade must be overturned. That is step one and any candidate who claims that they are in support of that decision or is not willing to fight to get it overturned is not worthy of my vote.

I didn't vote for Romney for President, I voted for Ryan for vice president.
