The saddest part of that sentence is the number.

You're jumping to a conclusion. Seventy five people raised their hands. How many people were there? How big a town was he speaking in?

Prosperity, SC has a population of about 1100 give or take a few.

Hello,

Just now on Fox, Carl was reporting from a McCain gathering in SC. He noted that McCain was running late, and that the crowd was “sparse” (his word) and that this wasn’t such a good sign with the voting taking place tomorrow.

For what it’s worth....

Read that one again. Seventy-five people in attendance and half raised their hands. Although, Fred was in a town of about 1100 people according to a previous post, so that number may just seem low.

To stay on topic: If Huckabee is doing this and the news of it gets traction, I hope it comes back to bite him like one of them fried squirrels he spoke about.

Seventy-five is far better than twelve.

This source has the crowd raising their hands at "at least a dozen". It could have been a different event (this was at a 'steak house'). Either way, only a dozen hands is sad.

half the 75 people in attendance raised their hands.

Seems plain to me.
