Dude,
First he’s relatively new...seems to be building momentum and attention. He’s got my attention in the past week or so.
Secondly...we’re more than a year out! A certain percentage of the population doesn’t begin paying attention until we get within the 4-6 month window.
I’m a huge Palin fan and hope she runs, but I’m also beginning to really like Cain.
I’m not at all worried about how many people showed up to see him today. That will be much more important as we get close to the election.
Someone posted they were at the rally. They said you could not see a sizable portion of the people when you looked at video, because they were not near the stage due to the very hot sun there. They were near the trees to get some shade. He reported there were thousands, not hundreds, there, but how many thousands he doesn’t know.
Remember the ridiculously low media estimate for the Beck event at the Lincoln memorial. I recall that those who were there said thousands and thousands of people were tucked away among trees where they were barely visible, and that if you included them and estimated from the area they covered, you got upwards of 600,000.
History repeats...
