You know, if I were one of the lesser-known Republican candidates, I might try to get to West Wilkes High School in Millers Creek, N.C., by 5 p.m. today, where Obama is holding one of his pass-my-jobs-plan rallies. A GOP candidate could get a lot of attention by showing up and making the argument that the jobs plan — already rejected by vulnerable Democrats like Jon Tester of Montana and Ben Nelson of Nebraska — represents a smaller rerun of the stimulus policies that failed to bring down unemployment.
Tomorrow night there’s another GOP debate, but presuming a GOP candidate could catch a late flight to Las Vegas, they could try to pop up at one of Obama’s stops in Jamestown, N.C., Emporia, Va., or Hampton, Va.
So Jim, any chance we can get attendance numbers at these rallies of the One? All we ever see on tv is the teleprompters backdropped by bored people. I for one would like to know the size of the room he's droning on in and if it was filled to capacity or if it's only those held captive in the backdrop who have no empty seats between them.
