Freeper wonders if Palin's visit to NY caused the 2 State Senators to flip Republican

[MidwestTransplant]

He attributes it to Palin's popularity in the state.

Oh noes, maybe she could take NY if she is the nominee in 2012? ;)

1. This morning on the news it said she drew a crowd of 20,000--I couldn't believe it.

But then again people always do gather to see a train wreck.

2. I wouldn't believe it either... not without pictures... eom

4. She does draw big crowds but for some reason they also lie

to make it even bigger. Maybe that was just the McCain campaign and isn't continuing now.

I recall they said she drew 60,000 at a Florida rally. It was really almost 30,000, which is a huge crowd. Why say 60K? At other rallies 3,000 became 12,000. 5,000 became 20,000 in their reporting.
Reporters started making a point of getting totals from officials and not the campaign. I guess they wanted her to be Obama kind of star even as they mocked Obama's star sized crowds.
It was strange.
