Clinton vs. Obama: Listen To the Crowd Noise
I hope you will read the whole article.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX. -- One of the things you notice about Hillary Clinton's rallies is the tonal difference from the events Barack Obama holds.

With Obama you get a deep, thunderous roar -- fed by the many thousands he draws, but also by the many men in the audience.

At Clinton's events, the response is high-pitched. You hear the voices of women because there are so many in the audience. The sound to my ear is more plaintive, a room or gym or arena willing her to win.
< snip >

The crowd loves her. There is real affection in the air. It may be sisterhood, but it feels like more. In her way, Clinton's rallies are as distinctive as Obama's.

They're just not as loud.

1. OH FFS. That's because there are no men in the crowd.
Not because there are no women in Obama's :eyes:

Clearly you aren't looking at the exit polls, or the crowds of people at Obama's events. Do I need to go pull up the pictures for you?

9. OH FFS ......
nobody said there weren't women in Obama's crowd.

Why don't you take your silly, little girl petty bullshit somewhere else?

I was commenting on what you posted. You're the one jumping off the deep end. How about you take another Xanax, and try again tomorrow.

24. I agree, I was at the Hartford Obama speech (17 thousand) and
women out numbered men at the event. Also, the sheer number of people is outstanding.

15. Hey, it's your argument.
They were cheering Obama, booing Hillary.

But there were a lot of black people, and I guess they don't count.

5. The Obamas can afford better sound mixing on the vids they leak to the MSM.
Hillary can only afford the raw footage.

7. You're right. That "thunderous roar" doesn't want Obama to win.

13. I see the same level of enthusiasm from both of their supporters. They are well loved
and, they're drawing folks to support our party.

17. Yup.. it could be that, or it could be that Obama pulls 18,000 and Hillary pulls 5,000... but yeah,
maybe it's all the women's "soft voices" instead.

Geez.. :eyes:

22. I am thinking of a mass hysteria at Obama's rallies
There are thousands of young people, most of them have no idea where he stands on the issues, or even what are the issues. When someone says that "Obama will fix what is wrong with this country," do they have any idea what is wrong?

And I really think that just with rock concerts, there are young people who go together and hype each other and get excited and shouted and just form an event with no rhyme or reason.

Like the idolizers of American Idol.

25. I read she had a crowd of over 12,000 in Texas!
Not that you would hear about that in the media, per se. I happened to read it in the middle of an article somewhere. Thanks for the article. It is always nice to hear about women cheering excitedly!! I am woman...hear me roar!! LOL.
