42. As for McKook not being able to fill a VFW hall
I have a bit of inside info on that truth. I have a dear friend who works for a certain call center that is often tasked by the Repig party. Lately they've been tasked with trying to scrape up audiences for McKook town halls. Lessee, here; one day, 16000+ calls, they got 74 takers. Another day, out of 17000+ calls, they managed to get 104 (record haul). About 98% of the responses, once they find out who the magical mystery guest is (they don't find out until the last question) aren't "no" -- they're "hell no and get off my got-damn phone".

Dunno what you might think of the numbers, but from here it dudn look good. I personally think the MSM is trying to brace us for another "close race" (HAH!) and a steal (again).

If you look at news shots of Obama gatherings, no matter how tight they make them, you can't miss that there are throngs in attendance. It's not hard to tell that MSM tighten the shots to downplay the size of the crowds and cut the sound short so as not to tip off the roar of applause. And it's not hard to tell that the shots of McKook are as far back from him as they dare get; you can still tell there are only about 30, 40 people showing up at best. Listen to the applause -- that's a dead tipper if you pay attention. You only get a split second. Obama always elicits a roar. McKook, barely a few polite tea-claps (a southern gay expression for an oh-so-polite form of applause, given indoors at a formal function, performed with two fingers tapped lightly against the wrist. It's also a really nasty snark. I mean it both ways here, heh.)

Make a habit of listening closely to the edits. There's a lot you can tell by what isn't there and how the tail-ends are trimmed. Just sayin'. In short:

Our candidate, rawks. Their candidate: box of rocks.
