What kind of Town Hall debate has less than 50 seats?

[Zuiderelle]

I'm watching MSNBC where they just televised the stage for the debate, and there can't be more than 50 seats in there.

Can you imagine the amount of vetting of the 50-member audience there must have been? Then again, considering McCain's vetting of Palin, maybe it WILL be interesting.

1. Boooooooring Bernard is on now.

2. there's over 5,000 seats there.

[Zuiderelle]

3. Really? Then I have no idea what they just showed. Maybe there's a "front" section with only 50.

And the back section is not miked.

14. Now that's it's started... I guess I was a little bit closer.

:D

80 people in the audience.

4. 50 of John McCain's best friends, including the moderator, but Obama...

Obama is like Bruce Lee, he will wipe the floor with them tonight:

9. Well, isnt that all mccain is used to showing up at his town halls?? lol

Yeah i think the 50 are just for the people asking questions and then its a full audience behind them. :)

10. Just heard Andrea Mitchell say there will be 80 in the audience n/t

[Zuiderelle]

13. Wow, lots of conflicting info here. I saw what looked like 50, cali says 5000, someone else says...

students have 300 seats themselves and you say 80. I should take bets.

Edited... you were right. 80 people there.
