The McCain campaign has already been caught in a lie about the size of the crowds attending events featuring John McCain and Sarah Palin. Perhaps the only thing worse than overstating the size of a crowd, however, is drawing such a small crowd that even lying can't make it seem not embarrassing.
"At his first rally without Palin since selecting her as his running mate, McCain attracted roughly 3,000 people at an arena here with 16,000 seats."
Not sure what you're laughing about. His choosing her obviously was a smart move. On his own, I sure as Hell wasn't getting a warm, fuzzy feeling.
She thinks it's funny that he doesn't have a lot of groupies following him around.
I'd hate to have to follow McGrampa around. That's GOT to be a drag.
At least Obama doesn't need his VP to fill the seats!Empty Seats Greet McCain at Fla. Rally

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Republican presidential nominee John McCain held his first rally without running mate Sarah Palin today, and let's just say there were seats available.
The McCain "Road to Victory" rally was originally scheduled to be a pancake breakfast, but the campaign said there was such an outpouring of enthusiasm the event was shifted to the 15,000-seat Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.
That might not have been the best idea: There were almost no supporters in any of the cavernous arena's 24 upper-level seating sections, and only eight of the 21 sections downstairs held fans. Only four of those were filled, though some supporters crowded around the stage on the arena floor.

I suspect the Palin bump is fading.
