15 people welcome McCain at Missouri Airport

McCain lands at Columbia Regional Airport - Columbia Missourian

A crowd of about 15 people assembled outside the airport's fence to see him descend from the plane.

Phillips, who also saw John F. Kennedy at the Joplin Airport in 1962, said she was upset at the small size of the crowd gathered to see McCain.

McCain campaign volunteer Jane Stuart agreed. In 2000, when then-Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush visited the airport there was a much larger crowd, Stuart said.

Obama had an estimated 100,000 people come out to see him at the St. Louis Arch on Saturday.

In suburban St. Louis today, McCain had a crowd of about 2,000.

Now, it's a heck of a lot easier to draw a crowd on a weekend than a Monday morning.

But stumping in the metro D.C. area on Saturday afternoon -- a much larger population center than St. Louis -- McCain had somewhere between 4,000-6,000 people.

Not surprising.

100,000 show up for Obama, 15 show up for McCain, but Obama's only up 4 points

so, number that show up for a speech doesn't say much about the number that will show up on election day

to be fair it's a really, REALLY small airport. and Columbia really is a bastion of liberalism.

he had a pretty big gathering up in st. charles.
