WTF? I click on the link thinking "hmmmm, Obama had 125,000 at Civic Center Park 4 years ago, and 20,000 at 10:30 p.m. on a Sunday night. What could this mean?" Well, here's what it means: Romney had 17,000 at Comfort Dental Park(although the venue only holds 10,000) in Centennial at 7 p.m. on a Saturday night. Maybe the biggest crowd for HIM in Colorado, but not THE LARGEST crowd. The press can't even be honest in a headline.

Bastards.

The last three weeks of McCain campaigning he was getting friends and family only in the crowd.

Just telling us that the crowds are HUGE! Oh, and Obama's drawing very good crowds, too...but, oh that Romney! (swoon swoon).

That the media keep talking about Romney's crowds but never showing the actual pix, the footage, or the numbers. It really does feel like a fiction that is being presented. This morning when they showed Romney, it was only the stage personnel who were shown. I think they did show a brief snippet of a white people cheering. In contrast, when they showed President Obama it was a wide shot that captured a huge, diverse crowd that looked like America.

Romney has been drawing large crowds, which is why I was worried before I came here!

He has had over 30k in the last few nights!

Please don't underestimate the crowds! Just like the right should not underestimate President Obama's.

But let's be real here! I have seen pics and I am sickened by them.. but just don't get complacent!
Vote like our lives depend on it!

Which they do!!

Take nothing for granted!!!

We can win this now!!!
