Estimates are that there were 30,000 people that attended the rally, and according to this newscast there were an additional 6,000 that were turned away.
I guess the President's "poor" debate performance did not have any affect on THEIR feelings toward him, now did it?
Using Tea Party/Sarah Palin methods of crowd counting, there were 2 Million in attendance and about 5 million were turned away.
ReplyDeleteSo this was an obvious fail by Palin standards.
Mitt Romney Style...LMFAO

LOL! Whoever played AnnTOILETTE was spot on!
DeleteAnd I thought missionary style was boring!
I don't think the debate changed anybody's mind, although I did see one -- and only one -- statistic that showed Independent voters moving heavily toward Obama. Since it was only one report, there's no way to rely on that.
ReplyDeletePeople who planned on voting for Romney will still vote for him, and same for people who planned on voting for Obama. I don't think Obama sucked anywhere near as hard as many think he did (many on the left, I mean). I suspect there were a lot of people who's expectations were way too high. What they saw from Obama was The Adult In The Room.
Yeah, the debate changed a whole lot of minds. Have a look at the lates polls and you'll see that obama is in big trouble.
Deletelove, Sarah and Bristol.
Exactly! the adult in the room. OK, I'll say right away I didn't watch the entire debate. But what I saw was that Romney was nothing but a loudmouth hyperactive bully making up stuff out of whole cloth. (Really, no caffeine?) By letting Romney run on, the president (whether this was his intention or not) got the material for a thousand new ads showing Romney contradicting himself.

DeleteHey...it's the "love sniffing Baldy and Beefy's dirty draws" troll!
Still sniffing I see...you are ONE nasty troll...why you are chasing after those two tramps is beyond me...but then I shouldn't be surprised...after all...they have a pimp for a husband and father! LOL!!
Sarah and Bristol are mittiots!
DeleteRomney won for enthusiasm. Obama won for content. Romney sounded like he was trying to be Obama at times explaining that he was not going to get rid of Obama's programs completely. I felt bad that he had to do this on his anniversary because, on top of all his other great points, he is a good example of a healthy marriage without domination and quality parenting. Before the next debate he needs to take nap and drink a Red Bull. And Romney doesn't. Since when does being rude to the moderator win points???
DeleteWhen you're a petulant child, twinkie1cat? Everything. To low-information voters.
DeleteWow! Two weeks ago, I went to an Obama rally myself (in Virginia) and there was a capacity crowd there, too, but the venue was much smaller.
ReplyDeleteYeah, President Obama may leave some things to be desired. Yeah, I sat there with my mouth hanging open for much of the debate the other night. But Mittens leaves everything to be desired... EVERYTHING!!!
So last night I sent another contribution to the president's reelection campaign, and bought a bunch of buttons from his campaign store.
Let's get this man reelected!
Another Obama contribution was my response as well.
DeleteI donated before the debate, and after the debate, and again the next day. Obama is the first candidate I've donated to. I don't donate a lot, but by the time the election is here I will probably have donated $250 total for the year, but I'm doing what I can. If I had more I'd donate more, it gives me a sense of feeling, I don't know, like the election and the country are mine. That I have something invested, that it isn't just for rich people.
DeleteI donate to Obama too, that is why I am LIVID that Obama handed the debate to Romney. I'm doing my part, but O failed to deliver his on Wednesday.
DeleteHere is the effect of that failed debated.

DeleteThanks for the link! It's too bad you didn't read it yourself.
GinaM, I've been following Nate Silver for sometime now.
DeleteI think you are delusional.
This election is too close for Obama to slip and GIVE undecided voters to Mittens.
End of conversation.

DeleteGlad you've been "following Nate Silver for sometime now"...it's too bad you haven't actually READ what he writes.
And I don't think "delusional" means what you think it does....LOL!!!
haha, A mini-mitt (one of the boys) was up in Hudson, WI last weekend with the fugly bus, he attracted well over --75-- people. Then the teabag crew (the I hate Obama bus) rolled in later in the day and the scooter parade moved to his rally and topped out at well over --90-- people. Plus it was perfect fall weather, yesterday in mad city if was COLD and WINDY
ReplyDeleteGo O Go! I Love Madison!!
...the scooter parade...
DeleteTHAT is hysterical!
Gryphen, this post made me feel GREAT! I've passed it along to friends who have depressive debate fry after the last few days. Thanks!!
The debate was just the first round of the playoffs; the Super Bowl is Nov. 6.
ReplyDeleteObviously those are voters in the picture are already committed to Obama. Unfortunately the first debate may be the only one time where some of the undecided voters see the President Obama square off against Mittens. Obama probably didn't win over any undecided voters with that debate performance.
ReplyDeleteYeah, actually he did. I know of more than a dozen women who were on the fence, but after the alpha dog attack from Romney on not only our President but on Big Bird, they are DONE with the Mitt. They found him 'nasty, hopped up on something, predatorial, rude, disrespectful, ungracious, unlikeable, overly aggressive and dishonest'...to just name a few adjectives. Women don't like Mitt much.
Deletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/05/mitt-romneys-big-bird-moms_n_1943398.html?utm_hp_ref=politics
Further, the focus groups that were watching ALL gave the win to PBO. The 'on the fence' independents broke 100% for PBO.
Obama didn't need to "win over any undecided voters with that debate performance" - Romney did it for him.
DeleteCheck out Romney with his sneaky cheat sheet LOL "what's it got in its pocketses?"
i think it is extremely heartening to see those photos of the large crowds.
ReplyDeletehave there EVER been any crowds for Romney of this scale?
The news said that O hit 30,000+, RMoney hit 10,000.
DeleteNot even close, and then he has to bus people in.
DeleteHis mood was radically different Thursday — not just calm but buoyant, loose, focused. It reminded several aides close to the president of his response to Hillary Clinton’s stunning comeback win in the New Hampshire primary in 2008. It’s a cliché in his camp that Obama only feels really motivated when his own destruction is in sight, but the magnitude of his lousy performance clearly motivated him as he plunged back into campaigning.

St Louis Post-Dispatch: Editorial: Obama for president: A second term for a serious man.
ReplyDeleteFour years ago, in endorsing Democrat Barack Obama for president, we noted his intellect, his temperament and equanimity under pressure. He was unproven, but we found him to be presidential, in all that that word implies.
In that, we have not been disappointed. This is a serious man. And now he is a proven leader. He has earned a second term.

LOOK AT THIS VIDEO AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING INSERTED IN THE MIDDLE OF WHATEVER HE THREW ON THE PODIUM.
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a slow motion close up video and you can see something stuffed in whatever Mitt Romney threw on the podium.
DeleteThis video needs to go viral.
DeleteThe man who is afraid to show his income taxes!
DeleteThe man who gave extra money to charity on his most recent IRS 1040 and Mitt did not claim it as a deduction just to show he paid higher taxes!
The man who shelters his money off shore!
You think that Mitt Romney is not capable of cheating at the presidential debate?

The pundits rushed to judgement, Pres. Obama has been declared the winner of the debate.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.democraticunderground.com/10021480923#post2
There are so few undecided at this point, you won't see much movement from the REAL polls
DeleteNotice the direction the lectern is facing. The photo doesn't even show half of the audience that were in the foreground on the president's left side. I'd love to see an aerial view of this event.
ReplyDeleteUnlike the teabaggers, these folks stand up and pack em in.
Yeah, See how the debates affected his popularity? They turned away six thousand, Romney can't draw a crowd, he needs to bus in the Osmonds and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and a few people of color, depending on the crowd.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the next debate!
OMG..............to Sarah Queen Esther Whatever You Call Yourself Day To Day!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it just BURN that you can't draw these crowds, and your Dad and brother on their big book tour touting you draw less crowds than appendages on their bodies?
You WISH you were that adored.
