Fox News - McCain Struggles to Gain Traction in New Mexico
http://embeds.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/10/25/mccain-struggles-to-gain-traction-in-new-mexico/

snip

But with ten days to go until election day, there was a palpable lack of energy in the crowd of several hundred supporters at the New Mexico fairgrounds. Campaign officials were aiming for 2-3,000 attendees today.

Meanwhile, Obama is expected to draw tens of thousands supporters at a rally to be held in Albuquerque later tonight. Though it should also be noted that the Obama campaign invests greater resources than McCain in building large crowds and Obama event attendance did not always correlate with eventual victories during the primary.

McCain will hold a second rally today in Mesilla in southeastern New Mexico.

:rofl:
