13. hundreds and hundreds
When they had that first big Rally with President Kerry and President Clinton in frint of 100,000 people, the CNN GOP sock puppets claimed that there were "hundreds and hundreds" of people there.

19. Yeah, that was the Philly rally with Kerry and Clinton!
That stupid dipshit of a CNN reporter (her name escapes me at the moment) kept repeating that there were "hundreds and hundreds" of people in Philly to see John and Bill, whilst the camera was panning a throng of thousands as far as the eye could see.

8. CNN would also say
they were all undecideds with one hand clapping and may not show up at the polls.
Lucky for us we will see the truth on C-SpAN!!!

7. 300,000 tickets went out according to the Cle NBC local station
They were gabbing back and forth between local and network people during the 6:30 news broadcast.

I wish I knew where I could see it on the net. It was raining lightly here in Cle at 6pm.

10. Oh I hope so. Smirk is stopping by Dallas tonight (yuk), and
they are anticipating 12-14 thousand. This would so put him to shame.
