My take on the crowd sizes is this. Pubbies love W; dems, in the main, tolerate kerry and many will vote with one hand holding their noses.
But I think that there are still going to be a lot of dems that vote for kerry even though they won't go out in public to see him.
I think there will be some "D"s not voting at all...or voting for Bush when they are in the privacy of the voting booth.....(On that list are several Senators with "D" behind their names...who know Kerry's work(?)...Have not seen any of them campaigning with him...Have you?)
