The convention center was packed.....

[chillfactor]

for the Obama/Clinton rally......I wonder how many thousands of supporters were there.

Will be interesting this evening to see how many idiots show up for dumdum's rally.

1. The security to get into an event for one of these two is so tight

a person has to pretty much plan a day to see them.

So my hats off to those hardy souls who got the tickets, stood in the line, waited for hours probably and then had to wait to leave.
It was a great event and the crowd was really into it.

I will say they got their money's worth - Both Clinton and Obama were on fire.

2. I think we've learned that ...

numbers of supporters that can pack an auditorium have nothing to do with electoral results. I'm sure Trump will get a good crowd at his rally.

I, for one, could not care less about how many members of the choir show up at a rally. I'm interested in every last VOTE out there.

3. I am also more interested....

in the vote...but the clapping and the calls "Hillary Hillary" were fun to see and hear.....and Obama was just a thrill to hear in his support of Hillary.

4. I agree: great enthusiasm and great speeches.

I just wanted to make sure people don't fall back into the trap of seeing rallies as something akin to polls or votes.

5. The crowds at the rallies for the last two

elections predicted the winner.

6. Trump has been caught paying for cheering attendees at his rallies.

The enthusiasm is not genuine.
