How to Make a Stadium Look Full
The Detroit Free Press has an interesting piece on how difficult it will be to make it look like Mitt Romney isn't speaking to a nearly empty stadium when he gives his economic speech later today.
"The Romney campaign and the Economic Club think they've solved the problem. The guests will be seated at one end of the playing surface, roughly between the end zone and the 30-yard line, while Romney will speak from a stage in front of them. About 100 news media representatives and 50 or so TV cameras will set up behind the guests, so that it will be clear Romney is speaking to a crowd."

He could've added a few thousand blow-up dolls. It's not like anyone would've gotten turned on by them, but Newt would be infiltrating the gathering trying to find a new wife.
