Who Else Does This?
Ambinder on Obama's rally in Philadelphia:
An Obama aide sized the crowd at about 40,000. It was probably was a
little bit less, but a senior campaign official said it was the biggest
the campaign had ever seen.
As usual, about 3,000 guests directly in front of Obama were sent
through magnetometers and enclosed by metal barriers. Another 25,000
crowded Independence Park; some even listened from a good three
thousand feet away, well behind Independence Hall.
I counted at least a hundred Philadelphia police officers. There
were state troops. TSA personnel magging the crowd. A helicopter
hovered over the square. The fire department set up a command post with
extra medical supplies. It was some way to start Obama's final
Pennsylvania push.
VandeHei, Harris, Stephanopulos and Gibson need to find some more kitchen sinks to throw. Do they have any septic tanks on hand?
