Small Crowd for McCain in Tampa
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThis isn't a good sign if you're rooting for John McCain. Via Ben Smith:In one of Florida's largest and perhaps most politically important areas, only about 1,000 people stood outside the Bucaneers stadium to greet the GOP nominee. As Adam Smith noted, it was 1/15th of the crowd President Bush had four years ago in the same city. On his last swing through Tampa on October 20, Obama drew a crowd of 8,000. Since then, interest in the race has become more heightened. As I mentioned last night, Obama rallied 200,000 people yesterday in Ohio. Today he's here in Jacksonville, Florida, where the ...
Governor Palin in the Midwest
By Dave - Politics DailyByron York on National Review OnlineA former city councilman here in Chillicothe, Rinehart doesn't pretend to love John McCain. After McCain wrapped up the nomination last February, Rinehart, a serious conservative who's also a former local Bush campaign co-chairman, felt what he calls "Carter malaise." He wasn't inclined to take part in the campaign. "My attitude was, I'm going to the polls and that's it - no grassrooting, no nothing." And then McCain picked Palin. "I absolutely loved it," Rinehart tells me. "It was a game-changer for me. It was huge for me as a conservative for some light at ...

Should McCain/Palin Split Up?
By Dave - Politics DailyPolitico.comThe Florida Democratic Party is sending around pictures of thousands of empty seats at McCain's morning rally at the Jacksonville Memorial Arena to suggest he lacks enthusiasm there.They claim McCain drew "only" 3,000 people to the event, a low figure in a heavily Republican part of the state.That figure, unchallenged by McCain's campaign, would represent about half of what Palin just drew to her own solo rally just outside Denver, according to estimates from local police and campaign officialsThis shouldn't be surprising to anyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the last ...
Did Obama Benefit From Decemberist Uprising?
By Jay Allbritton - Politics DailyEver hear of the Decemberists? No, not the soldiers who rose up against the Czar in Russia back in 1825. I'm talking about the folksy, indie rock band from Portland, darlings of the music press, recipients of the prestigious Colbert-bump and Barack Obama's opening act at a very well attended rally in that city this past Sunday. 75,000 attended the event, which news organizations universally hailed as "big" or "huge". Media Research Center's Robert Knight (not the basketball coach) wants it known, the Decemberists contributed to the size of that crowd. In an article for NewsBusters Knight ...
