ARITHMETIC! There is NO WAY 11,000 people fit in this space. (rMoney at Cuyahoga Falls, OH)

[we can do it]

First off, I go to the Natatorium where the "event" occurred and saw the set up, the bleachers probably held about 250 people each and they were set up within the perimeter of the parking lot I have marked in pink in the first image (using google maps scale). The CF band filled a good portion of one bleacher. The press/cameras had another area, so that left 2 bleachers (the speakers podium area in front of one) and the space between for the crowd (it wasn't packed in or full, per friends who were there). Why do they need to lie about EVERY LITTLE THING????

9. You got that right. Easy manipulated idiots.

2. They're counting the people in the city jail and the people at eating at subway around the corner.

3. Hospital and cemetery probably hold a lot of people

Perhaps he's counting those dead voters. lol

11. Last kick for afternnon people

4. HAHA! Subway was closed, it is in the Nat. Also there was no more than normal traffic in the area.

6. I like how it was reported as "we were told 11,000 tickets were given away"

One more link for scale- note rMoney in front of bleachers -

7. notice how they never pan the crowd so we could see for ourselves.

reminds me of one the other day (think the mittwit was supposed to be in CO), again with the 11,000-- only showed a tight pic of him with MAYBE a dozen people near him.

8. Yeah, I know and just compare it to the Obama crowd pics, no comparison.

10. Kicking. Let's push their faces in shit like this.

12. I used this crazy thing called Math

If that's all the area they used, and assuming it was standing room only, packed shoulder to shoulder and just a little space in front and behind a person, they could fit 8500 people in that area. That's assuming ONLY PEOPLE were in that area, no stages/bleachers/cameras/barriers/etc.

200x250 = 50000 sq feet
Assuming 3x2' area for each person = 6 sq feet. 50000/6 = 8333 1/3. I bumped it to 8500 to be generous.

13. One thing you failed to consider

Romney supporters are especially dense... therefore, you should be able to pack more of them in the same volume

15. Ha!

[we can do it]

16. I always thought they were full of hot air and BS.

[we can do it]

14. That's the same math we started with this morning, thanks. Teabagger math must be different.

I was generous in the perimeter area, too. I cracked up when I heard that the line was SO LONG - all the way from the corner of 3rd and Oakwood to 4th and Oakwood - wow that's about 350 ft long...give me a freaking break.
