Thin Crowd for Cleveland Campaign Rally
By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

CLEVELAND — President Obama wrapped up a weekend of last-minute campaigning in Ohio on Sunday, addressing Democrats in an indoor arena that, in a sign of the "enthusiasm gap" that the president is working so hard to close, was little more than half full.

About 8,000 people attended the Democratic National Committee's Moving America Forward' rally at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center, a hall where the capacity is 13,000. The rafters were largely empty.

Organizers noted the president was competing on a Sunday afternoon with church, football and Halloween. And Mr. Obama drew a huge crowd of about 35,000 when he was in nearby Columbus, Ohio, in an earlier October rally. Still, the thin crowd was perhaps a foreboding sign in the waning days of the midterm races, when Mr. Obama, who was joined Sunday by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., considers getting Democrats to the polls his most important mission.

Two of my favorite things. The Blues and the Hindenburg that is the Messiah...

Ya know, it's like watching the neighbor down the street, that no one could stand, is now dying a slow and painful death.
No one wants to see him suffer, but you're relieved there will finally be peace in the neighborhood.
Did I mention he kept a scruffy little pet weasel named Biden? ;D

I read a poll that said 47% of Democrats want someone to run against Obama in the primaries. And that number is going to go up a lot after 2 years of gridlock.

I'm not even convinced he will run again in 2012.
