Sitting Room Only for Obama in Green Bay
September 22, 2008 2:53 PM
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin packed the house last week in Green Bay, Wis., at the Resch Center.
Not so today in the same arena with Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., as ABC News' Sunlen Miller captured in these photos.
UPDATE: The Chicago Sun-Times has more on the low turnout for Obama in Green Bay.

Let us review the "path of a losing DNC politician".
1. First, they dismissed their opponents.
2. Then came the reflexive snarky remarks.
3. Then came the attacks on their origins.
4. Then the snipes on their families (bloggers and sharks).
5. Then came the lawyers crawling through the woodwork.
6. Then came the snarky comments from the "rollodex experts".
7. Then came media rebellion claiming that the GOP tickets wasn't properly vetted because THEY didn't do the vetting. Nor did the the GOP ticket visit their pet shows or come to their cocktail parties.
8. Then the INTERNAL polls and GOP crowds gave them a shock.
9. Then came the attack ads. And the worse their internal polls looked, the worse their attacks became.
10. They they start to "lowball" their chances at the debates
11. Then they ignore the GOP at their rallies and don't report their numbers
12. Then they complain that the MSM aren't giving them a "fair shake" (NOTE: it's at this time when the DNC has "jumped the shark").
13. They they lose and act surprised.
14. At the post mortum, they blame their loss to racism.

The real story about crowd size is how low the McCain campaign stooped in lying about crowd size in a silly attempt to make themselves look more appealing than they are. Petty lies have characterized their campaign. After the consequences we have suffered from lies by the current administration, it's really sad that everyone is not demeanding the truth, even about little things.
Obama is smarter.
Obama is more honest.
Obama is promoting better policies.
Obama knows the middle class better.
Obama has better judgement.
Obama communicates with people better.
Obama has better ideas.
Obama has a better tax plan.
Simply put, Obama is just a better candidate. That's why we're ahead and that's why we are going to win. It's hard to undersstand why it is even close. Nevertheless, Obama will win and we will be looking at a brighter future. Thank God!

Danny,
Your theory explaining why barry didn't sell out his rally because it was "held in the afternoon" whereas the mccain-palin rally was held on a thursday night doesn't pass the b.s. test because i think everyone more or less knows that obama-biden can pretty much fill a place up with people who are taxpayer leaches. The taxpayer leaches must not have gotten the memo.

Did I just see a negative report on Obama? This writer is in danger of losing his job.

As his old pal Rev. Wright would say. "his chickens are coming home to roost".
I am happy to see other Democrats are finally taking a second look at him and seeing him for what he really is. I bet Howard Dean is having a serious case of buyers remorse at this time. Hopefully Hillary can rescue the party in 12 because it doesn't look to promising now.
I can't believe I am going to be voting for McCain considering I have never voted Republican before, but like John says "Country First".

Too funny.

Plus this story is a week old.
Very odd.

Obama spoke on a Monday afternoon, when everyone's at school or work.
McCain/Palin spoke on a Thursday evening.

Packer game. On to the next ABC non story. Who voted for deregulation in 1999?

You have so many advisers, cabinet members,defense dept,members of congress, etc that you only have to listen with open ears. All you Obama fans do is talk about how great his advisers are at this time. They make the shots along with Howard Dean.
I think the only president who was breed,educated and had work experience for the job was Kennedy in the last 50 years.

******************************************** I'm pretty sure I have never voted for anybody based on how their spouse looked.
Any body who doesn't look angry right now while one of the biggest heists in our history is going on in front of our eyes probably doesn't really care much about our country or the people.

I have voted for 48 years. Every time I vote for the person and not the party. If I voted party it would my wish to send everyone in Washington and start all over.
Platforms and promises mean very little as most of the time they do not get accomplished
None of them have our real interest at heart. Look at the money spent to become president. That money is for the jobs and book deals that they all will get when leaving Washington.

"If Americans take a stupid pill and elect the Obama's, we will have our first "get even" administration."

Hahaha. What we'd have is civil war before 21 January. And that might not be a BAD thing, considering the fascist "bailout".

"Michelle Obama looked really REALLY anygry speaking in Madison, WI today. I do not think she is helping his cause."
It's her natural style.
If Americans take a stupid pill and elect the Obama's, we will have our first "get even" administration. That could be even worse than the proposed (so far), trillion dollar tax bill for pre-K, Universal Health, conversion of 21-year olds into Community Organizers, "free" housing, "free" education, etc., etc., etc.

"Is this the media's way of controlling the election again?"
-----
The "media" corporations are mostly in the bag for The CHANGEling, whose seizure of the Democratic nomination they contrived by declaring his candidacy a "phenomenon" after Obama supporters intimidated the Iowa caucuses with that brown-shirt "in your face" stuff.
Maybe the media can deliver the presidency to The One, but let's hope NOT.

And you forgot to mention the size of crowd who showed up for obama over the weekend in FL and NC...
