I'm Trying to Envision what the organizers will say

to the folks who show up for the Romney rallies in the next few days. And more to the point, how will they get them out in large numbers? I guess they won't be above bribing them with food and beverages and maybe some other give aways.

Maybe it will be fun for us to keep track of the ones that take place in our hometowns and report turn out, based on photos of the event or, if you're lucky enough, what you observe when you show up in person. That is if you can score a ticket or sneak under the tent.

When they had rallies here for Bush in 2004, you had to go to the Republican campaign headquarters personally to get tickets. There was some kind of screening process so that only Registered Republicans could get the tickets. No one else need apply. If memory serves me correctly when Michelle Obama came here in 2008, I and a co-worker just had to show up at the Civic Center and go through a metal detector. No ticket needed. The place was pretty packed and I live in a very REPUBLICAN part of NW Florida. I could not believe there were so many Democrats that live here. Did my heart good.
