Sarah Palin packed in huge crowds. Packing in crowds like a Rock Star does not mean you will be or are a good president.

2. OBAMAMANIA 2.0
Four years after Obamamania swept college campuses and across the country, we will get a glimpse of what the phenomenon looks like the second time around. The Obama campaign expects overflow crowds at both OSU and VCU as part of carefully orchestrated optics. Aides want to portray the president as still highly popular among young people and still able to energize large crowds.
Organizers have been touting the level of volunteerism and voter registration on the campuses ahead of the events. They also plan to feature innovative integration of social media into the rallies, much as they did at Invesco Field in 2008, by broadcasting selected tweets, Facebook posts and Instagram images on the big screens to boost interactivity and participation.
How organic is the enthusiasm and participation, and can it be sustained particularly throughout the crucial organizing months of summer? Those are key questions for the months ahead.
Obama campaign manager Jim Messina insists younger voters will still be a secret weapon in states like Ohio and Virginia, as long as they can get them out. What people dont focus on is theres 8 million voters who are 18 to 21 who werent old enough to vote last time and who are going to cast their first vote for Barack Obama, he said at the University of Pennsylvania late last year.
At times, the rallies had the feeling of a concert by an aging rock star: a few supporters were wearing faded Hope and Obama 2008 T-shirts, and cheers went up when the president told people to tell their friends that this campaign was still about hope and still about change.
Heh...

Obama closed the speech saying "Baby Baby, I'd get down on my knees for you. If you would only love me like you used to do".
immaterial comparison. Obama is drawing nowhere NEAR waht he drew in 2008.
Pointless post once again from JosephK.
Not any more pointless than this useless thread. I haven't seen a circle jerk this big since The T showed me his home movies.
That, is what little shit-for-brains like JosephK cannot seem to understand. If he can't draw like he did in 2008 for his freaking campaign launch, what does that say about his star power now, compared to 2008?It was two big ass fails (including Virginia).
These were not run of the mill campaign stops: this was supposed to be the big launch for Obama 2012. As in blast off. As in Shuttle Captain Charming Fixyourlife to the rescue. Remember '08? Don't worry nobody does.
Romney sure as h-e-double toothpicks ain't going to win on charm, Olympian rally fluff, bumper stickers and hopey changy blubber. So if Obama has lost most of the above that is a big fail. If this race becomes about ideas and the state of the economy Obama has already lost.
Yup, in Desperate ODS Wingnutland 14,000 at an arena with a capacity of 18,300 (that's a little over 75%) means failure.
Sorry Erik, but compared to his last campaign, it is FAILURE. People aren't buying his bullshit anymore, not even immature college kids.....

NO you are emulating Obama and Van Jones and the rest of the racists out there.
SHOO----!
Just because you are scared to call Obama a ****** in public, like you do in private, doesn't have anything to do with Van Jones.
