Same time. Same city. Obama speaks to 6400; McCain to 700 |

In the traditionally very red city of Oshkosh WI. Not only did people show up to see Obama, they waited in 10 degree temperatures to do so. http://www.thenorthwestern.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080215/OSH/302150067/1987

17. Be fair, the article said "between 700 and 800" so maybe only |
|
eight times as many people went to see Obama. I just got off the phone with a 61 year-old friend of mine who arrived at the Kohl Center in Madison at 5:45 on Tuesday but succumbed to the cold and sought shelter. My 38 year-old daughter and my two grandsons, ten and eight, went later, toughed it out and actually got seats.
