an intimate McCain rally with room to put your sweater on the seat next to you. Heck, take a whole row!

or

the Madness of a Obama campaign, standing shoulder to shoulder with your fellow libs?

If crowds are a barometer, McCain's losing to Obama there too
John McCain and Barack Obama increasingly seem to be operating in separate political universes.

Obama continues to draw jaw-dropping, record-shattering crowds while McCain struggles to fill small venues. The contrast was most glaring Saturday in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a state McCain desperately needs for the inside straight draw he needs to reach the 270 electoral votes necessary for victory.

That day, McCain pulled fewer than 1,000 people to a sun-dappled plaza in the New Mexico State Fair grounds despite the campaign’s best efforts to drum up a crowd. That evening, Obama drew what police said were about 45,000 to a rally several miles away –- and more than tripled that total the next day at two rallies in Colorado, another battleground state.

The Arizona senator gave his standard campaign speech here in a key Republican stronghold and later flew to Columbia to have lunch with a dozen or so supporters. He ended with a sparsely attended, late-afternoon rally in Belton, outside Kansas City, one of the Republican-held suburbs where McCain needs a huge turnout.

Carol Wessel, GOP chairman in Lincoln County, insisted McCain would win the state despite losing his lead in polls. She dismissed the low turnout at his morning rally.

"It's Monday," she said. "Most people are working."

1. One month ago I stood shoulder to shoulder with nearly 18,000

of my fellow Obama supporters. And I would do it AGAIN.

3. I think the Republicans are depressed...

...and I also think that there will be a tendency for them to stay home on
election day.

They see the writing on the wall---the polls, McCain's feeble appearance, the crumbling
of the campaign as Palin is called a "diva" by McCain's own people.

They're not going to have the motivation to volunteer, door knock, drive people to the polls
and go door knocking--which will hamper GOTV efforts.

I'm not complacent, but I feel that these dynamics will help to ensure an Obama landslide.

Obamaites will crawl over glass to get to those polls, and I think most Republicans look
at McCain's failed campaign and want to crawl into a fetal position.

4. Gawd, I hope you're right.

The idea that Republicans would stay home is sweet music to my ears.
