She's probably the only woman there so that means she has to be his background in the photo ops (and forever captured on film as a sell-out to women everywhere).

is the 1000 or 2000 or 3000 people who show up at Romney rallies, 99+% white, 99+% well-off financially, a few dozen airhead young adult children of the above groups.

I wish the Romney rallies would show the crowds, I bet most of those rallies number well under 4000, and remember, Romney only does one rally a day, Obama gets 10-20, 000 each of two or three times a day in the same state.

First hand, there was at least 10,000 if not more and there was more energy today than I remember from 2008. It was great and a lot fun!

I'm just curious to see the lack of crowds at Romney's events.

I bet there's less than 33% of what show up at any Obama event, but I want some proof.

YOU so much for these pictures. I never see pictures of Romney with crowds around him, seems they only show shots of 10 or so people.....
GREAT pictures...Wish he would come to Kansas City.
