C-SPAN makes it look big:
Is this true.....from the other side...?
"BTW, I don't know if anybody heard, but last weekend, [Dubya] drew about 20,000 to downtown Minneapolis. By contrast, Kerry had an estimated 30-35,000 show up, also in downtown Minneapolis, and that was 2 1/2 weeks ago."
President Bush filled the Target Center in Minneapolis. The rally was electrifying! As for the rally Kerry had here at the Metrodome, it was held in the pit area in front of the Metrodome...not inside. The pit area is not very big...there really isn't much room around the outside of the Metrodome. People who were in the area and a helicopter pilot who flew over said the crowd for Kerry looked like about 5,000 even though the Mpls Star reported the higher number.
