McCain-Palin Crowd-Size Estimates Not Backed by Officials
September 13, 2008 12:48 PM

Senator John McCain has drawn some of the biggest crowds of his presidential campaign since adding Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to his ticket on Aug. 29. Now officials say they can't substantiate the figures McCain's aides are claiming.

McCain aide Kimmie Lipscomb told reporters on Sept. 10 that an outdoor rally in Fairfax City, Virginia, drew 23,000 people, attributing the crowd estimate to a fire marshal.

Fairfax City Fire Marshal Andrew Wilson said his office did not supply that number to the campaign and could not confirm it. Wilson, in an interview, said the fire department does not monitor attendance at outdoor events.

We have peeps here who were in Ohio, and said he had maybe 700 people, with seating for 2500-3000. They only photographed it from the first 30 rows facing the stage. Fucking liars, they cannot win on the issues or the truth. They HAVE to cheat.

It's hard to market a lame duck candidate. Especially one so out of touch with the modern USA.

Especially the various instances of the McCain train using kind of ancient ways of marketing and viewing America(Space Invaders? We just got an updated rave kind of version a few months ago. Dungeons and Dragons? Nobody really plays that in the basement anymore, especially because so many people grew up with it.)

What's really pathetic is that when Palin is not at his side, he attracts next to nobody. On his own, he's a putz extraordinaire. With Palin, his lipstick, well you know......... Poor, sorry ass McStupid. What's amazing is that when Obama goes somewhere, he attracts major crowds. McStupid has to go where the crowds are, ie a race track or a biker rally. Sorry ass McStupid is such a pathetic tool.

Gosh, so close, but no cigar. SARAH!! YOU DID NOT TRAVEL IN IRAQ!! This lying is getting to be pathological. Now that she's been caught in so many lies, no one will believe anything she says, except the starry-eyed religious extremist-types.
