If Romney is getting bigger crowds as Noonan says, they are not pro Romney but anti Obama

The recent Pew poll showed there is more excitement from Obama voters toward Obama than Romney voters toward Romney. Plane and simple this is bad news for Romney! Hate for Obama from the Republican base is not going to get people in the middle out to vote, only the radical Obama haters will be motivated.

What Pew found is completely the opposite of what Republican's are pushing right now. Crowds of 20,000 people are a tiny fraction of a states voting population and mean very little. Often the party that is trying to oust someone they don't like tends to have a small percentage of the most ardent supporters or in this case luke warm Romney voters / big time Obama haters show up.

I will take the polls being in our favor a million times over crowd size. Besides Obama crowds are about the same size anyway.

it was still a good crowd of 15 thousand. The secret service keeps track of those things and thats what they said.
I read her article. Funny how she saw his campaign as a disaster not long ago.

...is when they start talking about the crowd size/enthusiasm as evidence they're winning. The fact is, even the most doomed presidential campaign is able to draw capacity crowds. As a matter of fact, it often seems the level of enthusiasm rises the more it becomes clear their candidate is going down to defeat.

The rethugs are not enthusiastic about Romney and this election. They are filled with hate for the president. Big difference between the two and everyone should quit confusing the two
