McCain Campaign Exaggerates Crowd Size

[JonLP24]

WVEC-TV: "The Virginia Beach Fire Marshal's office estimated the size of the crowd to be 12,000. A McCain campaign spokeswoman claimed the crowd size was 25,000, but the Convention Center's capacity is only 16,000."

2. Again, McCain missed the mark

Maybe someone can ask the McCainees why the fire marshal didn't shut down the event since the place was almost at twice the capacity?

Hmmmmmm, SATAN?!?!!?

4. So stupid. 12,000 is an impressive crowd to draw but

when they lie they just look like fools.
When they draw 3,000 they call it 10,000. When they drew almost 30,000 they call it 60,000.
The real numbers are something to brag about, they just make it ridiculous.

Their bragging about it and exaggerating it shows that their whines and ads about Obama the star was just jealousy.
Or maybe happy, friendly diverse big crowds that see Obama are bad and the pale, judgmental angry crowds that see lying Palin are GOOD.
Hard to know what they are thinking

5. McCain exaggerates size a lot in his life

I'm not surprised it extends to crowds, too.
