Great post. Love all the historical perspective you’ve been providing. This one is especially timely. Keep it up.
Of course, it works both ways. I’ve been saying the same thing about the Palin’s crowds. Enthusiasm within the “choir” does not equate to election day returns.
Barack drew 100 thousand today in St. Louis.
Breathlessly reported on Fox.
The media always exagerates the size of the liberal groups and downsizes the conservative crowds. How do I know for sure? When we had our pro-life ralllies - they always reported the crowd half the size it really was! They Sitill do - look at the numbers every Jan. when pro-lifers go to march in Washington! The media Hardly covers the event - or the size of the crowds!
The liberal media is doing everthing it can to discourage voters who might vote for McCain so it is under-reporting numbers. Notice the effect the poll numbers and the size of the crowds have on the discussions!
I’ll bet Sarah Palin had just as large of crowds of 100,000 - only the media would only admit to 69,000 people coming out to see her!
