Obama “Jam Packed” Rally

Those of us who recognize Moose Poop when we see it, already know that Barack Obama is a media creation and a con. Everything he says and everything he does is part of the special effects and The Show – including his “packed” rallies.

“Reynolds Coliseum on N.C. State’s campus seats 12,400 people. It did not seat that many tonight.”

Behold, the power of political staging:

As Seen On TV:
This is the Coliseum, all crowded with hooting and hollering Yes We Can-Can!!

Barack Obama packs ‘em in again!

People kill to get into an Obama Rally!

Not As Seen On TV:

This is what the other side of the Coliseum looked like.

“Those tables in between my position and the rally you saw on TV are about a quarter full of milling, bored, tired reporters.

The rally took up maybe a quarter of the floor space in the arena.

Part of running a decent campaign is knowing how big a crowd you might have and planning accordingly so as not to embarrass yourselves with a woefully understuffed venue.”

Any questions?

Oh, and no sense of forgetting the Bumper Sticker on the Obama supporter’s car.
