Enthusiasm Gap

No wonder the McCain campaign lies about their crowd sizes. (Is there nothing they won't lie about?) Check out this photo from a McCain rally in Jacksonville, Florida, published by the Orlando Sentinel. That's a lot of empty seats.

Florida Democrats:

Jacksonville, Florida's largest city with more than 800,000 people, voted for 58% for George W. Bush in 2004. When President Bush visited Jacksonville during the 2004 election, he had nearly 50,000 supporters fill Alltel Stadium. [Jacksonville Times-Union, October 24, 2004]

In contrast, John McCain only drew 3,000 at the most to see him this morning at Jacksonville Memorial Arena, which has a capacity of 16,000.

Maybe McCain should step down and let Sarah and Todd take over?

Yeah, but Matt, the size of the crowd only signifies that Mr. McCain is not aa celebrity. Finally, something they can talk aout that doesn't show sameness with GWB.
