I hate crowds and can tolerate them for a while if I'm engaged in what's going on. But if I hit my limit, and need to leave, there is no one that's going to keep me in there.. no way. That is ridiculous. They just were freaking out because everyone keeps leaving in the middle of his weird and angry tirades.. I mean speeches.

They said Obama's crowds (which were twice as large) were enthusiastic too, but nothing compared to Romneys.
And to think it turns out it was just that they were all wetting their pants.
Life is funny.
