60,000? Hardly. In an attempt to keep up with Obama's overwhelming support from the American people, the McPain handlers continue to report crowd numbers well in excess of the actual turnouts. More lies. More of the same. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601070&sid=a1J0tfV3XJYs&refer=politics
'A fire rescue official estimated the crowd at 25,000 to 30,000.' http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics/campaign-2008/story/696050.html All I can say is that if you're still falling for Republican statistics, probably trading is not for you.
"The crowd at Sarah Palinâs speech at The Villages Sunday was widely reported as 20,000 or more, based largely on comments by security and public safety officials at the scene. But late in the day, the McCain campaign quoted Mike Tucker, fire chief of The Villages, saying it was 60,000. That drew some skepticismâif true, it would be not just the largest crowd ever for a campaign event in Florida, but something like three times the previous record, around 20,000 who came to the same site, Market Square in The Villages, to see George Bush in 2004. But in an interview today, Tucker confirmed thatâs his estimate. Tucker, who was fire chief in 2004, acknowledged that he believes it dwarfed the 2004 Bush crowd, which he estimated was 25,000.

Speaking of which, it's getting late -- I should probably look for my next cardboard box for the night...
