Who's drawing the bigger crowds in battlegrounds?
I saw a picture the other day of a Kerry rally in FL. I was amazed at the crowd! Looked like a rock concert!

1. Crowd so huge tonight in Pittsburgh most of us didn't get to see
Kerry. Security was overwhelmed. And you could count the Freepers who showed on fingers and toes.

3. You didn't get in?
That's a shame, it was a great rally, even if it took forever to get through the metal detectors. You're going to hate me. I walked past the line right to the front, and ended up in the second row, 50 feet from the stage, and shook their hands.

Cable News never shows Kerry's crowd.

5. Cable news is owned by conservatives...
It's lucky for us that cable news is declining in it's audience compared to the internet...and probably compared to the older general interest networks as well.:)

There was a time when the biggest news junkies all around the planet flocked to CNN. Nowdays, such people are much more likely to get their news on line.

6. Thank GOD for the internet!
I seriously think that the crowds for Kerry wouldn't be nearly as huge if it wasn't for all the accessable info on the net.

4. Kerry of course
Bush audiences have to be carefully screened for loyalty and limited in size. For example in Portland, Kerry drew over 50,000 while * spoke before around 2,000. Bush doesn't dare hold open rallies since the protestors would likely outnumber the lemmings.
