The answer is simple. He couldn't fill a stadium. President Obama can and will fill a stadium. He's done it before, and he'll do it again.
Take that, Willard!

Are they really going to have that many there? I guess now that you mention it I don't know if non-delegates can attend and how that would work. That's some crowd if they can do it.

at the Bank of America Stadium, Home field for the Carolina Panthers. This place can hold over 70,000 and I won't be surprised to see it pretty full unless the predicted thunderstorms roll in too hard.
