correctly state that the last picture is one of George Romney taken at an airport hangar somewhere outside of Whitesville, circa 1950. Just look at that crowd of wholesome fun loving Americans.

people need to understand that, as some folks here were touting that Romney got a supposed 25k people showing up to see him in Colorado.

What happened was that Romney couldn't get enough people at his Red Rock rally, through the usual ways.. you know SUPPORTERS. So they opened up the free Kid Rock Concert and Rodney Atkins, to ANYONE... and spread the word on social media. The people that showed up, came for the free concert, and probably took a bathroom break when Romney came out.

This one is more indicative of a Romney rally...

And my god.. look at all those WHITE people!!!!

Reminds me of the time Al Gore came through Olympia, Washington and all the secret service agents were dressed in plaid shirts. They looked like ... well, Secret Service Lumberjacks.

Colorado must come through. Just took 5 ballots to the election office and all 5 for President Obama.

The slice that hopped off the Mayflower, but still!

That's at an airport? I'll bet many work there and the rest were bussed in.
