Some numbers

Interesting numbers at the presidential rallies. First, from National Review:
Obama Attracting Smaller Crowds than McCain in �08
Campaigning in Mentor, Ohio today, President Obama drew a crowd of 4,000. RNC research director Joe Pounder notes that, four years ago, John McCain drew a bigger ground to the same venue.

This appears to be something of a trends. Last night, Mitt Romney drew 30,000 to a Cincinnati rally, while 2,800 people showed up to see President Obama at the Franklin County fairgrounds.
And from Breitbart:
Obama's Cleveland Rally Attendance 20x Lower than 2008
Last night, in the cold and with long lines, 30,000 people showed up in Ohio to see Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. That same day, Obama attracted a meager 2,800. But enthusiasm for President FailureTeleprompter can be judged by more than comparisons with Romney. In 2008, at his last stop in Cleveland, a Democrat stronghold, Obama attracted 80,000 people. This morning, at his last 2012 stop in that same city, Obama could only attract 4,000.
Looks like I might get the birthday present I want... Winning the Senate would be gravy. Here is a perfect example of why we need to win there too. From The Investigative Project on Terrorism:
Dems Tap Radical Islamists for Cash
The Investigative Project on Terrorism has learned that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi headlined a Democratic Party fundraiser with leaders of Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood front groups in May of this year.

The invitation-only fundraiser was sponsored by Reps. Keith Ellison, D-Minn.; Andre Carson, D-Ind.; and Steve Israel, D-N.Y., chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and took place on the evening of May 16, 2012, at the W Hotel in Washington D.C.

In attendance were about 20 members of a Syrian dissident group and 10 officials representing Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas front groups. Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) Executive Director Nihad Awad was perhaps the most prominent attendee and played a key role in organizing the event.
A bit more:
During the fundraiser, Pelosi sat at the same table with Awad and Barzinji.

Speaking to the attendees in her 10-minute address, she said the Democratic Party should become the natural home of Muslim-Americans, because Republicans fan the flames of "Islamophobia." She focused exclusively on Islamophobia, a term devised by radical Islamists and their apologists to silence critics, while avoiding any mention of terrorism carried out by Islamists in the United States.

Also speaking were Israel, Ellison, Carson, and Reps Alyson Schwartz, D-Pa., and Chris Murphy, D-Conn. Israel and Murphy were said to have been the most vehement among the members of Congress in attendance in terms of their incendiary accusations of Republican-incited Islamophobia. One observer said that it was striking that "there was not a scintilla of comments in defense of U.S. national security." However, they welcomed each of the Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood front groups represented at the event into the "Democratic community" without any mention of their well-documented terror links.
People like Pelosi are incapable of seeing the grave damage they are doing to the core fabric of our Nation. They are so swept up in the echo chamber of their own devising that they fail to connect with reality. And, B.T.W. Nancy, that phrase of yours: "Muslim-Americans" That really really needs to be: "American Muslims" Emphasis on AMERICAN. This is where you and I and all those wonderfully tolerant people live and after all, this is the religion of PEACE. Do I really need to link to "Memo from Turner" again? Yeaggggghhhhhh... Your love is all I want. And I have a tunnel in Brooklyn that needs some work but for you? Cheap! Posted by DaveH at November 3, 2012 12:26 PM
