Enthusiasm waning?

It was not the best of beginnings for Palin Monday morning.

At the first of the Alaska governor’s six rallies of the day, there was plenty of room to spare. The crowd at Lakewood Park was sparse, to say the least, perhaps one of the smallest she has seen in weeks.

And then, speaking of Obama’s views on coal, she repeatedly stumbled on the word “bankrupting,” calling it “bankruptcing.” But she recovered to offer a stinging attack on Obama’s double speak, suggesting the city of San Francisco has a truth-telling effect on the Democratic presidential candidate.

And McCain?

John McCain’s first rally of the day, in Tampa outside Raymond James Stadium, only drew about 1,100 people. Local reporters noting that at almost the same spot just before the 2004 election, President Bush drew about 15,000 people. Two weeks ago, Obama drew an estimated 8,000.

McCain supporters have actual jobs to go to and can't take off work to go to rallies on Monday and take off for voting on Tuesday, as Osama suggested. :lol: :lol: :lol:

The crowds were there for Palin last week, the week before. I think people have gotten tired of her. At least the polls show the more people know about her, the less they like her. :D Even in her own state, her popularity has gone down during this election. :shock:

Gosh no one wants to see Palin...! :roll: :roll: :roll:

They were FIRED UP to see Sarah Palin in Missouri today!
It was the second largest crowd in Jefferson City history.
Prime Buzz reported:


We have a crowd estimate! The Highway Patrol is saying 17,000 to 18,000 -- more than the Kerry-Edwards appearance here four years ago and probably second only to Mel Carnahan's funeral in 2000.
Meanwhile, in Lee's Summit, Missouri, outside of Kansas City 400 people showed up to see Democrat Joe Biden.
Prime Buzz reported:


Vice presidential candidate Joe Biden urged supporters in Lee's Summit Monday to work hard in the closing hours to elect Barack Obama to the White House. "Thirty-seven hours!" he told some 400 supporters in the gym at Longview Community College.


And, once again the mainstream news comes out today with its latest report on how Sarah Palin is costing McCain the election

Gee, a whopping 400 people, and at a community college no less, to see the VP candidate of the party that's done sooooooo much for education. :lol:
