MSNBC just said Rmoney rally had 30,000 but police said 15000 went through metal detector

[flamingdem]

Are they that incompetent? Chris Jansing should be able to get the real figures or check Politico. More BS


The campaign announced that 30,000 people attended, but Secret Service sources said just 15,000 went through metal detectors. And local law enforcement counted the crowd at 18,000.

This is important because Rmoney is playing his (fake) momentum card - and there are concerns about Election fraud that would have to be justified. The MSM is not innocent, still pushing the horserace.

1. Maybe they only checked 15,000

But more likely, just Romney math.

[oldhippydude]

2. about 46% short.............n/t

3. The "Coinjoined Twins For Romney" rally

He's really popular with the two-headed crowd. They can relate to someone who doesn't always agree with himself.

14. Evidence of cloning

gone bad!

4. Report by local newspaper??

6. And How Many Are Paid Staffers?

I wouldn't be surprised if pays a lot of these people to show up at those snorefest rallies. If this shitstain is so arrogant to buy his own "donations" last week, I wouldn't be surprised if he's paying people to show up and pretend he's on some kind of "mittmentum". As has been pointed out here...you rarely see a crowd shot at a Willard rally. I always love the contrast shots of the mix of colors at an Obama rally vs. the lilly white old folks home look of a Willard one...

11. Not true.

Mitt occasionally has a Black, or an Asian, or a Hispanic at his rallies. That person gets placed prominently behind the podium. When I see that, I wonder how hard Romney's staff had to search the crowd to find that person and whether that person is paid.

[KharmaTrain]

12. Lately His Rallies Sport The Soccer Mom Look...

Ever since the Aiken noise where polls showed a large double digit defecit in women, Willard's had mostly middle-aged women behind him at rallies. There've been reports of recent rushpublican campaigns of paying people to attend rallies...especially minorities. Or they'll bus people around (free food is usually the hook) to try to buck up rally numbers.

Now if he holds a rally in the Villages...then he doesn't have to worry about drawing a crowd.

7. Math is not their strong suit.

[bluestate10]

8. MSNBC just quoted a Romney campaign source without checking the validity of the data.

Lazy reporters. They are a disgrace to their profession.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. Falsus in unum . Falsus in omnibus

Those miscreants lie about everything.

[20895DEM]

10. It will be 30,000 when they make a panorama of it. The clone army will be in attendance.

[flamingdem]

13. Hah! I forgot that they probably cloned everyone

to fill up the seats!

[Wellstone ruled]

15. Ann,make sure you call

the Stake Center Presidents,going to need the Sheeple at the rally. It's Saturday and this will be a Ward Project,that will count towards their Temple Recommend.

[flamingdem]

16. Is this Mormon speak?

What's a Temple recommend?

[elehhhhna]

17. they count crowds like they count repub votes

[and-justice-for-all]

18. They can not draw 30K people,

unless they use photoshop.. SS sources is most likely correct.

[HopeHoops]

19. That's still crap compared to the crowds Obama draws.
