A campaign event is usually 10,000 or less. And people showing up at campaign events will be voting GOP anyways.

It puts you on all the local news and newspapers in the state, everyone knows that you are there, talking to them, looking at their town squares and cities, eating at their cafes, eating their local delicacies that they are known for, meeting and talking to THEIR local representatives and mayors and congressmen, kissing THEIR babies, it brings you to them, it brings you to life in their eyes.

Well, like I have already posted...I think that is an outdated way to do things. And let me add..I am a geezer.

We live in a different world today. As far as my (not necessarily preferred) candidate beats the competition he doesn't need to shake my hand, kiss any babies or be brought to life on a local level.

It's a waste of time and money.

Or you get snide coverage like Romney got in Atlanta on Wednesday where he did a fundraiser.

A traffic reporter (Art 'Mad Man' Mehring) said (closely paraphrased), "For a man who says he wants to get people back to work, he's not making it easy for people in Atlanta."

So obvious was the partisan commentary, afternoon host Rusty Humphries called attention to it. This happened during the 3pm break on 640 WGST.
