Only 1,000 people showed up to see Sen. John McCain at a Tampa rally Monday -- leaving even Fox News scratching their heads.

"Kicking off the last day of the election in Tampa, Florida, John McCain was welcomed by a roughly 1,000 voters," penned Huffington Post's Sam Stein. "Compare that to the 15,000 people that President Bush drew to a rally in Tampa on the eve of the 2004 election. 'What's up with that?' wrote Adam Smith at the St. Petersburg Times."

Fox News' Carl Cameron said the event was "a little bit disturbing" for McCain's prospects.

"Last night in Miami Sen. McCain arrived for a midnight rally and had more than 10,000 people in Miami. Today in Tampa, for a morning event, it's a small crowd, only about 1,000. And I can tell you is it looks like it was set up with the perimeter and all for about 10 times this crowd. In addition, you'll note that there are no actual McCain signs here. This is one of the events that is put on, ostensibly paid for by the Republican Party."
