The crowds tell the story.....

[choicevoice]

Look closely at the crowds for Kerry/Edwards and then contrast them with the crowds you see for Bush/Cheney. That tells the story. Anyone else notice the difference?

1. You mean, the crowds out for Kerry/Edwards look as though they want

to be there, and the BushCo whores look like they can't wait to pick up their pay for showing up?

6. You our right.

I have been looking at Bushes crowds and something just dosen't seen
right.They look like they our lost in space,mad and some just don't look like they our for him.

7. Backdrop people

Look like they have energy!

I think all the ra;;y people should look and act like this Edward Rally.

The kids were energized and looked alive.

Bush folks sit still and don't move when he is speaking.

Let us move and show we care.
Shake the heads,cheer loudly.

It did not take away from the Edwards message at all , IMO.

8. There was a Kerry rally last night

in Wakefield OH. The estimate was 12 to 15 thousand. In a cornfield. I shit you not. In the freezing cold. Granny's, gramps, babies, tobacco chewers, young folk, nascar fans... and a lot of union workers. It was killer. The man can work a crowd.

9. I see lots of empty seats at shrub rallies.

Maybe people are getting tired of signing loyalty oaths.

Or maybe they are beginning to understand that the shrub is a liar and a coward, who wants to take from the middle class and give to his "base".

12. Cold

It was F'ing FREEZING yesterday in Columbus. I love to hear the stories of all the people being motivated enough to show up in the cold.

10. These crowd differences remind me of the Clinton/Bush 1 campaign..

Bush1 hand picked, elite-based invitation only..at a campaign rally in Denver. Bush1 crowd estimate was 5000.

Bill Clinton rally was downtown Denver a few weeks later,,Crowd estimates were 30,000, and they attended freely.

The crowd factor DOES NOT LIE.
