What crowds? I see one person.

Two and 1/4. The person holding the picture, the guy in the picture and somebody's right upper torso. And that, technically, would be crowd in...say...a shower stall.
Do not discount the power of the small crowd or even its fractional members. For tonight, they are ALL fireworks as the leader of the free world and the pop starlet with the best rack in the business (as determined by a survey of one) come to you LIVE from the Delta Convention Center. YEEEEEHAHHHHH, it's Obama time!!!!!!

Hey Brian do us a favor. Many of us up will be partying all night and we'll need our sleep on November 7th. Could you keep your crying down to a soft whimper?

This just in:
The Anti-Alinsky's boss just informed The Anti-Alinsky that insurance premiums will be going up 12% next year! 12%!!!
If this is change we can count on maybe The Anti-Alinsky should move to a less restrictive country, like Russia!

Lies seem to come so easy to The Anti-Alinsky. I am now very anti-you and your trashing of President Obama who has one of the most rabid and anti-American republican Congress doing nothing to create jobs after they won election on job creation. They lied. Now they are the party of destroying regulations. And have done so much against women's right they should be women, but they are men and that is despicable. President Obama will win and our country will continue to prosper and recover. We will not return to the policies that the GOP wants of war mongering, giving to the wealthy, cutting benefits to the middle class, working poor and the elderly. America is for all Americans. It is not just for the wealthy including Romney who is only for the wealthy. There are a lot more Americans who want the honesty and good judgement of President Obama to lead the country forward.

Did I miss the article of the Romney coverage at State Fair Park yesterday? Lines blocks long, capacity of thousands crowds, hugemongous more thousands overflow crowd outside (that Mitt personally addressed afterwards) Bart Starr, Governor Walker, Ron Johnson and the list goes on forever. Denise? Do you need pictures?

Thoughtful, powerful speech by Obama. It's easy to hate, hard to lead. Obama is headed in the right direction with his heart in the right place. Who knows what Romney stands for (other than himself)? He'll say anything to get elected, but the good news is, it looks like he'll be looking for work as of Wednesday morning.

KP - have you no knowledge of the countless people that Mitt Romney has quietly helped throughout the many years? You are woefully uninformed.
Joseph Robert

Very interesting!
The states that know Romney best -- Massachusetts where he was governor and now lives, and Michigan where he was born -- both strongly favor Obama, not Romney. They must know something that Romney's Wisconsin supporters don’t know!

Joseph Robert...Mitt Romney no longer plays a role in those states. Mitt was born in Michigan over 60 years ago!!! MA and MI are Democrat strongholds. Hey, I bet you would just love to live in Detroit, now, wouldn't you? You have no point, Joe!

@Betty, it was an amazing day: All the speakers, Tom Barret, Tammy Baldwin, Senator Kohl, helped frame the truth for the audience. Then Katy Perry; and, then the President and Commander-in-chief.
America needs to re-elect #Obama: clearly he is the right choice for America, if you care about all Americans. Stay the Course. Look how far we have come.
If we were a firm managed by Bain, the US would have a Balanced Scorecard 4 America, or BSC, With that dashboard of indicators across multiple dimension, Americans easily would recognize that Obama is the right choice. Romney doesn't know who he is or what to say to trick people into voting for him. What he says he is clearly, based upon the behavioral and spoken reality of Mitt, is not for all - only for the few. He is disconnected from the American main-street. We need to #Reject #Romney: he's an empty suit when it comes to being President of the US: can't figure out who he is or what to say: how bout this, Mitt: Tear up the #pledge; and, tell the obstructionist-grandstanders, who call themselves #Republicans, to get the hell out of the way of America's recovery and progress. #Forward: WIsconsin: that's our State motto; and truly, our President is Barack Obama. Moreover, Wisconsin voters, we need to reject #Ryan twice and regain the foundation of our democratic republican n our Christian-Judeo-Islamic social contract to be there for one another.

I am feeling confident about Romney’s chances. I think we will wake up next Wednesday morning feeling very satisfied that the corrupt, racist, narcissistic, Muslim Marxist thug is on his way to Hawaii, Chicago, or Kenya. I don’t care where he and Chewbacca go. I despise him and the harm he’s has brought to this once great country. Once he is defeated, we can get down to the hard work of repairing the damage this parasite has caused.

The first thing we'll need to do when Obama is reelected is to put a police watch on you.
Bob McBride

Judging by some of the commentary here from attendees, the combination of a purveyor of sugar-sweet, superfluous and shallow neo-bubblegum pop music and Barack Obama makes more sense than I thought it would.

Judging by some of the commentary here, racism and cynicism are alive and well. It's a petty argument we wouldn't tolerate from kids in junior high. The Republicans didn't want Romney throughout the primary and now the rest of the country agrees with you.

Well I just wouldn't get too juiced by this gathering if I were you. If someone were handing out 20M complimentary 6 packs of Northern Quilted Ultra Soft, the response would have been pretty much the same in terms of turnout and elation over the event itself - with an added bonus of folks actually having something useful to take home afterwards.

The book of Obama’s presidency will be closed on Election Day. Obama has been the most abysmal President in modern history. Obama will stand the test of time as the most incompetent leader ever elected to a high office. Every single action that Obama has taken has either embarrassed America or left us open for ridicule on the world stage. America can ill afford another Obama term.

And as far as thinking, I did. And thanks for the compliment on my picture.
AWD

The truth be told, Obama is the threat, He has cloaked himself in hopeful rhetoric that has ignited a socialist firestorm in America. Obama’s radical Progressives supporters no longer hide their true identities from us. Obama’s societal moochers have their hands wrapped around the throat of Uncle Sam. We are in the last gasps of trying to save our country from Obama’s radical communist transformation. This election is going to tell if we will survive as a free nation or if we will become the victims of the totalitarian Progressive Left. Do the right thing and vote for Romney/Ryan.
Veryvila
9:43 pm on Sunday, November 4, 2012
AWD Give me a break. Did you get all that from Faux Noise. President Obama is hopeful to America because he has integrity and decency and is working for the common good of all Americans. That is not socialism. It is Christian goodness and Christian kindness. You are not a sane person if you think Obama has anything to do with communism. You are a right wing loon. We will survive and prosper as long as we keep republicans from turning the country back to the policies of the Bush administration that did bring great harm, damage and joblessness to America. War with Iran, anyone ready to join up for that one? We are going to do the right thing. I have already voted for President Obama and so has my husband and the entire family who support union rights and support the policies that President Obama has put forth for the benefit of all Americans.
