It seems wherever Obama goes he attracts huge crowds unseen in presidential elections [20,000+ in packed auditoriums]. Many in the crowds are former Republicans embarrassed to have voted for Bush.
The question is, why can't McCain attract more than just a handful of people? Remember his big speech a week ago? Even the well-known Republican insiders expressed disbelief in how ridiculously small & corny the audience looked.
Obama pulls in thousands of people. McCain has to pay for a few people & he can't afford it on his pathetic budget [too bad most Republicans have decided to never again support their party after the disgrace of Bush - can't blame them, I guess
Because he is actually trying to say something. You need a large crowd behind you to drown out the sound of your emptiness (in Obama's case). McCain wants to tell the American people what he wants to do, and doesn't want a large, purposeless crowd behind him.
Besides, he has said a lot that he prefers intimate town hall settings. He probably requests to keep his events small and cozy.

That's it! Actually McCain tells people to stay at home b/c he gets a little light-headed in crowds over 100 people [plus at $5 a person his wife's money will run out before November. Right

Just curious. Any answers Republicans?
His audience looked like the cast from the TV show "Hee Haw"!

That will fit right in with his vote in November- small and cozy!

Funny.
Large crowds should not be seen as anything but a nice spectacle. If someone bases a decision for president on the number of people they have in a crowd (which I am sure many Democrats do) then there are problems.

If all those people vote, it's my kind of spectacle.
