How fucked is Romney anyway?

This is a photo from Tuesday's rally in Henderson, Nevada:

Note: no backdrop, no huge sign, just a little placard on the podium. His campaign usually dresses up the stage real pretty, and this time it didn't happen.

3. Because his big event Tuesday

was at Red Rocks in Colorado. He filled the amphitheater although it took a concert by Kid Rock and free tickets at the door. Romney's team couldn't get enough people to come to their CO offices so they could screen them for the free tickets and make sure they were supporters. They then put out a press release stating tickets would be given out at the door (Isn't that unusual for a presidential rally?) Throngs of people then showed up to see Kid Rock and couldn't get in. In a news clip, I could see people leaving when Romney was giving his speech. I think the amphitheater seats about 10,000.

6. Doesn't matter...

Campaigns have fabric backdrops. You can put them up in just a few minutes and take them down just as quickly. I have watched politics for decades and have never seen a candidate for anything higher than mayor speak against a plain wall.
