McCain Rally in Fairfax Gathered 15,000
The New York Times is reporting that the official estimate of the crowd that gathered at a park in Fairfax this morning for the McCain rally was 15,000, well over twice the number of people who could have attended had the event been held at its original, controversial venue at Fairfax High School. The McCain campaign told supporters yesterday that the event had been moved because the high school venue could only hold 6,500 people. Some Fairfax residents and officials expressed disapproval that the Fairfax County school system should never have agreed to host a political rally during school hours, since it violated the school district's own policy against such events.

Looks like McCain is picking up a bit of a following. Wonder if that has anything to do with that woman who he has as VP?

It's a good thing she's Just Like Us, and not one of those damn celebrities, though.

ABC7 is reporting the number as 20,000+ this morning.

The Republicans has been taking Virginia for granted the same way the Democrats have DC. Looks like they might be just a little scared of losing a State that's gone GOP since 1968.

i can't wait for the VP debate. i hope Biden rips her a new one with a smile.
rhetorical question: was there ever a time when elections were about the issues and how the candidate would actually get things done, instead about how bad you can make the other guy look to the public?

Nope. In the campaign that Lucifer ran against God, you should have read some of the literature. Made the incumbent look like a total idiot. "What kind of Deity creates light on the first day and the sun on the third? You deserve better governmen than this! Vote Satan! In your heart, you know he's right."

I can't wait for the Veep debate either. By the end of it I hope most of America sees her for what she is: Dan Quayle with a pussy.

She's not even that, Dan Quayle had a law degree.

15000 brain-dead, proud-to-be-dumbass people in one place? Isn't that one for the Guiness book?

Next will be "war is peace." Or have we already heard that one?
