I Feel Like A Number

Numbers. What are they really? Let's take a look at a few numbers from yesterday and today.

60,000+. The number of people who attended the Columbus Obama rally yesterday.

10,000. Very generous estimate of the number of people who attended McCain rally with Arnold the Governator on Friday, in Columbus. Arnold discussed important issues like the size of Obama's skinny arms and legs, but I digress.

3800. The number of people who attended the Columbus Palin rally yesterday.

Now, Palin herself was quick to point out that some people can fill stadiums with their speeches. I think she was shooting for the Obama speaks "eloquently" angle again. But what part of this is she missing? Hmmm...think...think...think...AH! The part where those 60,000+ people who like to hear the negro talk pretty will actually be VOTING on Tuesday!!!

And since McCain spoke to a crowd of roughly 1000 this morning in Tampa, approximately 1/15th the size of the crowd that his hero, Bush, spoke to on the eve of the 2004 election, I think any reasonable person can see what these numbers add up to.
