75,000 people

I gotta ask.

How many people were paid to be there?
How many people just showed up because something was going on?
How many people were from the opposite side hearing what he had to say, but not really there to support him?

I seriously doubt all 75,000 people were there as Obamamites. I just can't believe it.

Yes I think the whole thing was a setup. Most Americans I know love waiting for hours in lines and being corralled into cramped locations with limited access to restrooms and snack stands. I wonder if all those extras got scale?

Now if that were for a HILLARY event-- well OF COURSE that could happen!

How many times have you been out and about, heard a bunch of noise, and went to investigate? And then stuck around?

I've done it a few times. I'm sure there are a few hundred, at least, who are doing it in that photo.

If the repubs can co-ordinate 9/11, surely the dems can get 75,000 to attend a mass conversion to Obamanism, right?

Don't feel bad! Hillary had a rally this weekend too! I can't really say EXACTLY how many people were there but you can see in this picture, it's a large, excited crowd! Go Hill! Never give up!
