Predict Obama's Austin, TX turnout.

15,000?

1. That was the anticipated crowd....

I wouldn't be surprised if it was 20K in a College Town. He definitely appears to be the candidate of choice among Gen Y

2. 20,000 new potential donors.

3. It was already over 10,000 with an hour before the speech.

Unfortunately, it's raining here and the rally was moved to an outdoor location, so that will have some dampening (no pun intended) effect. I wasn't able to go, but a lot of my friends are. Even with the rain, I think it will be over 15,000.

11. Sounds like the Austin-Herald Statesman shorted him by at least 10K supporters..

And zow - - the news reports are rolling across the AP like crazy!! A lot of them are highlighting his comments about DICKHEAD Cheney!!

Strange that particular paper is reporting half of the attendance that the others are reporting..
