It doesn't, actually. I love that so many people are energized and involved in this election. It is part of what makes this country great.
I agree with you here. I enjoy seeing so many folks getting involved and engaged for a change. I wish it were this way every election cycle, regardless of party.

Couldn't agree more. I think people are learning more about the financial sector of the government and this is important.
I think it is hilarious actually, the bigger the crowds she draws the more people that will see her for the fake she is, which will translate to more votes for Obama!
Good point actually. I have friends who are voting for McCain but they went to the Obama rally. A large crowd does not indicate universal support at the event. And a lot of independents go to these events to make up their mind.
For what it's worth, the local newspaper, the Grand Junction Sentinel (http://www.gjsentinel.com/hp/content/news/stories/2008/10/20/102108_Palin_speech_web.html - broken link), reported a crowd half that number:
So are you making a point as to how many people actually showed up? It was in a baseball field that they say holds 18,000 to 20,000 and they shoved em' in there.
So I wonder how many people were actually there; well I went to the blogs of people who attended and here's one interesting comment that related to how many people were at Suplizio for Sarah Palin's rally;

Just for the record, and I don't know why everyone is counting because the pictures alone are worth a thousand words, but, as of last Saturday morning over 15,000 people went on line and registered to attend Sarah Palin's speech. Another fact that you may find interesting is that Republicans actually go out and vote when they say they are going to and Democrats usually wait around for somebody to do it for them.
If this is true, I think it demonstrates that Dems are really proficient at dividing by 2.
If you're from Arizona, California, Las Vegas, Havasu, etc., I wouldn't go makin' too much fun of Grand Junction Colorado. They're upstream from you, if you know what I mean.
