2. But didn't Ohio State lose.

:shrug:

[femrap]

57. That's why the Obamas came....

to cheer up the losers! Kidding. Glad there was a big crowd.

Ohio is a crucial state....sure would like to see 2 Dem Senators from Ohio...but it's not looking good. Gotta keep Strickland as Governor and if the repugnants take Sec'y of State, we're back to Blackwell tricks.

[bigwillq]

59. ha ha

Glad there was a big crowd, too.

[itsrobert]

3. Is there a game today?

Sunday Night Football?

[elleng]

'Skins at 8:20, Phillies at 8, and Prez and Flotus at 8!

12. CNN covering it now

[book_worm]

13. Good news, we gave him almost 30,000 in Madison--I hope that he will out do that

tonight.

[66 dmhlt]

52. Looks like a pretty good turnout to me ...

[MadMaddie]

15. The MSM won't report on the crowd

they will only post Headlines like, "Poll: Those craving for change now look to the GOP"! This is a real headline.

[iamforobama]

46. the MSM will paste Palin all over the place but not the President..

[proud patriot]

16. Senator John glenn taking the stage now

[tabatha]

17. Wow, he is amazing for 89!

[proud patriot]

18. Wow 89? wow

[gmoney]

19. Why the long gaps in the proceedings?

this is pretty typical for rallies that I've attended... can't they find people willing to entertain or rev up the crowd instead of playing John Phillip Sousa ad nauseum?

[Clio the Leo]

20. Steele and that Palin woman drew 2,000 last night...

... heh! :)

[saltpoint]

28. True, but then again, last night was Saturday, so they

lost the hip-hop Republican crowd who might otherwise have shown up!

:hi:

[Top Cat]

21. Beautiful night in the great state of Ohio,....

[saltpoint]

22. Not terribly surprising, though. When the next time they'll

get to see a secret Muslin in person?

[Clio the Leo]

23. "Largest gathering of Pres. Obama's presidency..."

35,000 in attendance ... according to Gov. Strickland.

[Clio the Leo]

24. lol if we DONT count the inauguration I guess...

... which was almost 2 million.

[saltpoint]

27. Thirty-five thousand is a lot of folks.

Think how long it would take to make sandwiches for all those people.

[HipChick]

30. I was at the last rally before election night...90,000+ people came..

http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/11/the_last_obama_rally_draws_900.html

[vaberella]

33. That's the night before election. This is two weeks.

We got time. ^_^

[gmoney]

34. Two weeks before a mid-term, too...

[Clio the Leo]

36. Yep, and the Oregon rally drew 100,000...

The Germany rally (which, to this day, is awesomely funny if you think about it) was around that figure as well I think.

[Pirate Smile]

40. St Louis rally had 100k too.

[indimuse]

44. wow!

cool shots! thank you!! ;)



knr!

[bdamomma]

54. great cartoon and so true!

[stlsaxman]

45. makes me proud, thanks!

[krkaufman]

50. Well, all these comparisons would seem to confirm ...

... the drop in enthusiasm. 30,000 is *great* but it's a far cry from the 2008 election crowds.

[young but wise]

53. Sarcasm, right?

[vaberella]

31. And I thought Obama lost the Dems. n/t

[Capn Sunshine]

43. Just the pretend ones that post online

but EVERYBODY loses them.

[mod mom]

[oswaldactedalone]

I love Barack Obama, proud that he is our President. Support this man and his party. GOTV!!!!

[Whisp]

32. agreed! he is something special

never in my wildest dreams after the long and terrible Bush years I would have thought an Obama would spring up.

but he did. a gift.

[rbilancia]

35. Enthusiasm gap? Tell the 30,000 people who just attended that rally.

[discopants]

37. Drudges headline for Obama's rally ... "PANIC"!!!!!!!!!!!

[Botany]

An estimated crowd of 35,000 attended the rally, according to OSU Police Chief Paul Denton.

[Deep13]

56. Dear huge, huge crowd.

You can vote anytime during business hours at your local board of elections anytime until election day.

Make sure you do it. Make sure you don't just vote for Congress and Governor and leave the rest blank.

[peace frog]
