5. Twenty tens... I guess it would be 'biased' to report "hundreds" of thousands.

Thousands of dozens of people, mind you, but still just dozens.

7. Well, so far everybody has missed my point, which is not how many people
Edited on Thu Jul-24-08 03:13 PM by elocs
it's that Obama was actually in front of a huge crowd (however large) in Germany while McCain visited a German restaurant before his town hall meeting. Germany (the European country)/German restaurant. Oh well.

9. It seems completely insane to me for McCain to have done that
Doing something "German" while Obama is in Germany. At least he could have come up with a more original setting.

14. Except that corpmedia downsizing Dem campaign crowds is standard procedure
for them and calculated to misrepresent enthusiasm for a candidate. They RARELY ever reported the huge crowds Kerry was getting while Bush's crowds were MUCH smaller, handpicked and many times BUSSED IN by the RNC from other counties and states.

This is another way they cover for the eventual election fraud.
