Signs of the times?
The AP has its opinions about who appears to be winning the presidential contest, based in this case on crowd size:
In Colorado, Obama reveled in his largest U.S. crowd to date, with local police estimating that “well over” 100,000 people packed Denver’s Civic Center Park and stretched even to the distant steps of the state Capitol. The enthusiastic sea of people prompted a “goodness gracious” from Obama as he took the stage. Another enormous swarm — an estimated 45,000 — greeted him in Fort Collins later on the perhaps aptly named Colorado State University lawn; it’s known as “The Oval.” At each rambunctious stop Obama portrayed McCain as more of the same, saying, “For eight years, we’ve seen the Bush-McCain philosophy put our country on the wrong track, and we cannot have another four years that look just like the last eight.”
In Cedar Falls, Iowa, McCain campaigned before a much smaller audience, roughly 2,000 people…
In the apparently unlikely event that John McCain wins this election, there will be questions aplenty about media coverage (and a lot to answer for), but at the moment it doesn’t appear to look good for one Senator from Arizona, at least according to the other the Senator from Arizona.
