are what, 3 to 5 times bigger than McCain's?
Larry King pointed this out tonight, is it a good signwhen your running mate is drawing the crowds, sometimes huge, when the actual person running for president, is getting crowds of 4000k (Obama got a crowd of maybe 100k not even 25 miles away, even 38k is 9 times more than 4k)? Especially this close to the election?
Do you wish Palin would have actually run for President?
I know I said Republicans, but anyone can answer.

This entire election has been bizarre. Anyone who's been paying attention only half the time knows that. You can't say it's been boring, that's for sure. As for your question, McCain has never been a riveting speaker. But--as I said here before, in so many words--a good campaigner does not necessarily a good president make.

the republicans never would have voted for Palin to run as president had she been on the ticket. And she wont make it by herself if she trys. Palin is a disgrace to the Party. I dont know about the crowds but just saying she wouldnt have survived the Primaries. It's just one of those HUH, things.

You're a self-soother. Good for you.

It's only natural -- people don't know Sarah Palin and they want to see her and find out more. They already know McCain since this is his second run. I never thought I'd see "Larry King" and his "wisdom" quoted as a source! I don't know why they don't pack off that dude already. He's as dry as saltines and BORING!

And Joe Biden cannot even draw enough people to play poker.

Go figure.

So is it traditional for the Dem VP to pass out free meal tickets just to see Joe Biden tell us that we are going to be bombed if Obama is elected?

Biden was close by in Ohio and was lucky to draw 1000 people.

McCain drew 25k in Ohio last weekend in a town of 30k. Not to bad for a very small town in rural Ohio.

Biden drew 1000 people in the same town not long ago.

Sarah is the new messiah and you are mad about it.

Jealousy shows.

Dems are scared to death.

This election has been weird. Its almost like the Presidential candidates have had real practice. First we have a devastating hurricane, then the financial crisis, then the stock market fall...on top of it all, we had a very long Democratic primary between a woman and a black, but the black prevailed and a woman is now on the Republican ticket instead of the Democratic ticket...its a big web of election drama that is unlike any other season.

I will tell you one thing, had you told me that the only woman in the race would be on the Republican ticket last October...I would have called you bluff. I thought Hillary had her nomination wrapped with a bow on it....and I was sure that she would be the only woman on the ticket.
