No where near the Vast Enthusiastic Crowds trapped and not allowed to leave at Romney Rallies.

And that was at 11pm!

I guess if there wasn't that enthusiasm gap there would have been 30,000

This is amazing I saw morning Joe to day and Halpren said that The President wasn't getting any enthusiasm from his crowds.

His comments and observations and punditry all slant against Obama. He can't help himself. He tries to feign objectivity and he doesn't do a very good job. His slip is showing.

Glad you're here - we need you - MORE THAN EVER!!! Let's close this deal and win this thing - and sent wrongney/lyin' AWAY. Hopefully that snot-nosed punk from Wisconsin will be sent home to Wisconsin, too - and NOT back to Capitol Hill!







Now get to work.

Glad to have you here, too! We need you! I was amused by some of the comments in your link. Some of these people - I am utterly astonished, dumb-founded, even - at their total lack of connection to anything even remotely recognizable as reality. For better or worse, it's almost over. Let's win this thing.








Now get to work.

Yeah, our side doesn't do that shit. Our side doesn't NEED to do that shit. The subterfuge is always easy to find and very much in evidence over on the Dark Side. That's why we're glad you're here and we need you. Let's BEAT THESE BASTARDS!!!!!!!!! (Hmmm - I DO like the sound of that!)







Now get to work.

.. anyone he doesn't like, with no guidelines on what is an what is not a "legal" gathering.

Fortunately, we have (DU member) Lefta Dissenter and other good folk who make up the Solidarity Singers and protest against the Governer's (sic) war on free speech every day.

Bet the capital guard is quiet today.

Wisconsin rocks for Barack. Woo hoo!!!

Excellent photo. I love the no enthusiasm narrative the MSM is spinning. One look at the crowd sizes at our rallies and the up-to eight hour voting lines in these swing states says otherwise.

...and, over weeks and weeks and weeks...

No pics of crowds for Dirty Mittens and Coupon Care Man.

I think that speaks volumes.

Go President Obama and Vice President Biden!

He came to NM, where I live, in 2008 and the crowd was incredible. Never saw anything like it, it takes something truly spectacular to draw tens of thousands of New Mexicans to an outdoor event where they have to stand for hours! And everyone freakin loved it. *sigh* It'd be so cool if he visited here again, our lonely little pocket of blue in the southwest.
