They might have used different sizes/colors of paper, and different color paint, too! So lame!

See how many of the same faces keep appearing no matter where he goes.

Then comes the classic gumshoe investigation the press used to assign. Examine how many rooms are being booked by the campaign. Compare local hotel registries with relatives of people on his staff. For all we know he's also stuffing the crowd with Mormon groupies from Utah. The guy hasn't put much of his own money into this run. The last time cost him $42.3 million. Now he's got access to a Superpac pool so there is no doubt a cooperative "undeclared" cooperation is going on and one of them could be funding a crowd operation and can keep it private by statute.

Private money from .01%ers gets advice offered on how best to profit through disaster.

With a promise there WILL be a disaster.

Do we really need to rack our noodle to take a guess on what he has planned?

What a contrast to an Obama crowd, eh? The McCain crowds were like that too. Not a smiley, happy bunch, those Rethugs.

I guess that is what a crowd motivated by hate looks like. Wingers are fed such a steady diet of the stuff.

Whoever made that sign really didn't think of how that would be interpreted.

Made me think of Duloc, the perfect town in Shrek.
