Romney is doing a lot of fundraising and what not, but when was the last time he held a rally?

I don't think the campaign wants pictures of him speaking to small crowds to get out. Bad optics.

stayed tight on Romney, when the camera panned back a little you could see right away the "crowd" was pretty thin! Also, I live in a conservative senior community in So. Cal. and I have not seen one Romney/Ryan sign or bumper sticker.

today.

Obama got several thousand to a theme park, and lots of young folks, even tho he had been 30 miles away at Iowa State U in Ames, IA five days ago, and in another rural DesMoines area town three weeks ago.

Iowa is being worked hard for Obama, with close polls there.

I think IA and CO are all set for Obama, but FL and OH are at risk, (and PA if voter ID laws stay in place).

We need at least IA, CO, and one of OH, PA, or FL, (preferably 2 of those latter 3), but we cannot lose IA, CO or NH.

like time and place, or even a city and some ideas as to how to get invited or get tickets.

I think Obama could still get 10,000 people there if we just knew where and how to get to there, wherever THERE is!

People from Maine, VT, MA, as well as NH can travel 40-50 miles to get there from their own home in another state.

Otherwise, those 5 other New England states, all blue, all voting to re-elect Obama, will never see Obama this season. NH, OH, PA, VA, NC, IA, CO, FL We realize his time is limited, and he should go to those other states, but we'd like to be there to greet him in NH.
