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.
