New Obama panic: Romney crowd sizes

August 13, 2012 | 3:19 pm



The recent frantic email theme to supporters from Team Obama about Mitt Romney's run-away fundraising successes has been expanded to the crowd size gap between the thousands who rushed out over the weekend to see Romney and new running mate Rep. Paul Ryan and the hundreds who cheered on President Obama.

The big worry expressed in a new email from Obama's Chicago HQ: "The Republican base is energized." The reason: Romney attracted 15,000 at a rally over the weekend.

The email:

Paul --

I just got this disturbing report: Yesterday's Romney-Ryan rally in North Carolina pulled in an overflow crowd of 15,000 people.

There's no spinning that number. It's a LOT of people, and the Republican base in energized.

And that's not all. Since the VP announcement, Romney's campaign has brought in over 70,000 donations from his Tea Party base.

Just dem propaganda to raise more money. Romney/Ryan are toast.

It's no surprise Barry has his hand out asking for more money, the state of the economy is evidence of his fiscal skills.

Wow...I'll bet they're almost as worried as they were about Romney's trip overseas...

Obama team nervous about Romney overseas trip

Somehow, I don't think the Obama camp is worried too much about Romney's photo-op. After his appearance with the dressage horses at the Olympics; a little schmoozing with not-quite-as-rich-as-he-is in London; a possible side-trip to visit his money in Switzerland; he has NO foreign-policy credentials...(and from what we've seen so far in his speeches, he hasn't got a clue about it anyway)... So, I'm sure it will look nice in his "How I spent my summer vacation" photo-book...Next to the pictures of the jet-skis and the power-cruiser/yacht.

Yeah, I'll bet after the stellar Romney performance on the overseas photo-op, they're really sweating the crowd sizes... rofllol rofllol

Gee, Toad, you're going to need some new material... This crap just isn't working...

If you actually read about the trips instead of some twitter site, Romney was warmly received in Poland and Israel. Lech gave him an endorsement. The Poles suffered for decades under leftist abuse and are embracing the free market.

My friends in the Czech Republic are more enthusiastic than ever now that he chose Ryan.

I didn't realize how close they follow our elections and politics.

See, even Czechs are racist.

Yeah, they are so worried they are asking for $3 donations.

The high end of crowd estimates in North Carolina even made it into a fundraising email, but not from the side you would expect. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent an email Aug. 13 using the number to try to raise funds. The email said: “I just got this disturbing report: Yesterday’s Romney-Ryan rally in North Carolina pulled in an overflow crowd of 15,000 people. There’s no spinning that number.” Or perhaps there is.

What’s disturbing, or perhaps enlightening: The DCCC email cited The Wall Street Journal’s coverage of the NC Romney visit, summoning media authority using a paywalled source, but the Journal story only used “thousands” to describe the crowds. And what’s heartening: The Under the Dome political blog from the Raleigh News & Observer noted the DCCC fundraising letter and called out the 15,000 number as an exaggeration, “grossly overblown.”*

Lech didn't give him an endorsement. He wished him success.

He can add that to all the good-will he created in Great Britain... They love him so...
