This AP story reports that a Sarah Palin rally in Tampa drew a crowd that was only "over 5000" at the Tampa convention center Sunday. It would seem to me that scheduling an event for her that would require her base of fundamentalist Christians to miss their 11 am Sunday service wasn’t a very good idea.
That is an abysmal turnout for a city as large as Tampa, located in the area that many feel will determine the outcome of the election in Florida. For perspective, we had over 11,000 last week here in Gainesville for Michelle Obama. I can’t wait until Tuesday morning when I can go about 30 miles south to Ocala (very Republican part of the state in most years) to hear Joe Biden.

yet today zogby is reporting mccain closing the gap, obama carrying only a 5 point advantage, plus or minus three leaves what might be a two point advantage
everywhere I see more and more people moving over to obama yet the “polls” show the differance narrowing
something does not pass the smell test
Make it appear closer than it really is and the theft won’t be so dramatic…this is Zogby, right? The guy who called the election exit polls for Kerry in Ohio and then didn’t raise a peep when the right wing started to denounce exit polls as worthless (unless we’re using them to help Saakhashvili steal elections in Georgia)?
yup, that zogby
kerry won the election and all we did was watch the coup
we will watch this coup too if they can pull it off
Right, James! And sadly right you are also, perris.
The BushCo Corporatocracy will do anything to keep their puppet in the WH.
You have 4 DIGGs for this article, Jim. I have submitted a request to the DIGG site to repair the bug that fails to transfer the number from their site to the box beside each article. Hope they get on it soon.
Thanks for that.
Jim? You there?
She got c. 7,000 in Kissimmee this afternoon.
Not exactly packing them in, huh? Thanks for that info; I had looked for it when writing the post but didn’t find it anywhere. I’ll do a post on the Biden rally tomorrow.
The Real Sarah Palin
That was great!
I meant to add that it’s a funny coincidence for Liz Hasselbach to have introudced Palin alluding to her “cleaning up the sex trade” since 3 of the biggest promoters of sex slavery who went to great lengths to do so in the Marriana Islands were Tom Delay, Jack Abramoff, and failed Lt. Gov Candidate Ralph Reed.
Moderator approval for perfectly appropriate comments designed to delay the comments until they are so far EPU’d that no one sees them to discourage posting.
This is a quintissential Republican tactic, akin to the no questions taken by Palin and McCain, and carefully selected participants at their rallies.
This type of ugly censorship is not a Democratic or American value.
