The IWRC* Palin crowd was "sparse, to say the least"

By GottaLaff

Way to "close strong", IWRC*:

LAKEWOOD, Ohio – It was not the best of beginnings for Palin Monday morning.

At the first of the Alaska governor’s six rallies of the day, there was plenty of room to spare. The crowd at Lakewood Park was sparse, to say the least, perhaps one of the smallest she has seen in weeks.

And then, speaking of Obama’s views on coal, she repeatedly stumbled on the word “bankrupting,” calling it “bankruptcing.”

A mental giant she's not.

Meanwhile, Rachel Maddow is on the radio machine with Thom Hartmann right now, both of them worrying about the election being stolen. They are also discussing "the new poll tax".

Several thousand military votes have already been lost, Hartmann says.

Let's hope that the huge turnout more than compensates for the problems, and that those in line stay in line and cast their vote, even if it takes 10 hours. Let's not let the system disenfranchise voters.

*"In What Respect, Charlie?"

Perfect explanation. There's also a great profile of Rach here.
