I liked the part about the tea party being the “defending fathers”.

Wow not many people in the crowd. When Sarah speaks in SoCal she gets thousands, even if it’s pay to get in.

Looks like an hour until Sarah. The Drivebys must be apoplectic. Sarah and the Tea party, their worst nightmare! Here comes all the DBM lies. If they ever told the truth zeros popularity would be “0”.

Fer crying out loud.

It’s not SoCal.

If it was SoCal nobody would be there, because they’d be stuck in traffic.

Cspan's coverage sucks !

Show of hands for surprised ! LOL

No crowd audio, no crowd shots worth a damn.

Take that back, just had a crowd shot .. fair size, several hundreds visible, but still lots of umbrellas and who knows how many sheltered away from main crowd.

Seriously, both times I’ve seen her here, the number of people who show blow my minds! There are a lot of us hiding under rocks here in enemy territory.

I was shocked also. I thought the crowd would fill that field behind the current “group”. I’m really disappointed.

It is almost a non-event. Oh the networks are going to have a field day with this small group of lawn chairs and umbrellas. No wonder she's not announcing today.

I saw it too. Some just won’t be satisfied, though.

That’s Tony Katz the one who spoke earlier estimate of crowd size.

I would think many are waiting in their cars for Sarah...but not sure.

Envious, beyond description...

At this rate, you can bet Iowa won’t fall in the blue column next year.

She’s an hour away, Semper. Watch the crowd grow exponentially.
