"Sources: McCain to reveal VP Friday in Ohio" I loved this bit...

"The McCain campaign is hoping to have 15,000 people at the Ohio rally — roughly five times the size of his largest crowd to date."

1. That's a lot of photoshopping

someone's gonna get repeated stress injury.

McCain better be supplying his folks with a great health plan.
He does have a health plan, doesn't he? Doesn't he?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

2. About the same number of people his tax plan benefits.

22. Ooohhhh good one

[LynneSin]

6. While Obama fills Mile High Stadium, McCain will be using Minor League Ball Parks

Those hold about what, 3k-5k tops?

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. Yep. LOL

[Heather MC]

13. hmmm maybe McCain will announce at a statefair so he has a garanteed crowd

Or book reading at borders

[symbolman]

24. Ive told them a million times..

It's "McCain Campaign AND Puppet Show"...

Spinal Tap riff :)

[GreenPartyVoter]

25. Great pic!

[beac]

9. Boy, I'd like to be a cardboard cutout seller in Ohio right now.

Methinks there will be a MASSIVE rush order placed later this week. ;)

10. "five times the size of his largest crowd to date."

Yeah, if you count the 81st Combat Brigade in Baghdad. :eyes:

[DebbieCDC]

11. I figure there's at least 15,000 idiots in Ohio

I should know -- I lived there the first 23 years of my life and there were that many in my piss-ant home town. Left after college and never went back except to visit the relatives on holidays. Now the relatives are all gone or dead, so I don't need to set foot in that place ever again. Amen. Have fun Mcgrampy -- maybe they can empty a few nursing homes to get the crow numbers up.

[BlooInBloo]

14. 15k? Are you fucking kidding me? Obama gets that many just ordering orange juice.

[Kukesa]

15. The local GOP here in Dayton

keeps adding places where people can get tickets. At first it was only at GOP headquarters and now you can pick up tickets all over town.

When Obama was at Nutter Center during the Primary, tickets were gone within a couple of hours and people stood in line to get those.

The timing's weird too -- the Friday before the Labor Day holiday?

Figures.

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. It's his b-day, I believe

[Kukesa]

26. Tickets are still available!

Big article in this morning's "Dayton Daily News" listing places to get tickets.

They're going to have to bus in a lot of people.

[blm]

16. They'll bus in a few megachurches and the newsmedia will know this but cover it up

just as they did for Bush in 2004 when Kerry was drawing 10 times more at his rallies than Bush.

[ClusterFreak]

18. Why is it that McCain and Obama can be this close...

...in the polls, when Obama can get 15 thousand people to come watch him eat breakfast, and when registered Democrats turned out to vote in the primaries at a rate of two to one over registered Republicans?

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. Obviously the polls are getting messed with

[Wickerman]

19. that is a whole boatload of buses

but even then, who is going to load all those cardboard crowd members on the buses so they have something to import?
