Fantastic photos. That’s about how the percentages will go in the National election……. if everyone VOTES this time!!
Not much chance of a repeat, methinks.
Now that’s funny.
That was then, this is now.
Terrible optics, but that the football stadium is 4 times the size of the basketball arena makes it look worse.
Maybe Romney’s (semi-)homestate supporters are afraid to drive from the suburbs into the dark scary place.
Yes, the Xcel Center is a hockey arena. Obama still filled the thing to overflowing.
The other thing to notice is how, with the exception of South Carolina where the anti-Mitt vote coalesced behind Gingrich in a massive effort to keep Romney from steamrollering his way to a gimme nomination, the primary turnout in 2012 has either been similar to or markedly less than that of 2008.
The Republicans don’t like the Clown Car of GOP candidates, either.
