I would give money to hear a conversation between basso and Palin basso: So - I pretend to be a moderate but I post a lot and I live in Manhattan Palin: SO I SAID THANKS BUT NO THANKS ON THAT BRIDGE TO NOWHERE! basso: So I think you're the future of the party, I've been following you for like...totally like....WEEKS! I knew you were great Palin: SO I'M GOING TO BRING REFORM TO WARSHINGTON! basso: Wow, you really are awesome, what's your foreign policy stance? I'm a big fan of preemption, the Bush Doctrine, and magic democracy in the Mideast, unllike those feckless democrats. Palin: I CAN SEE RUSSIA FROM SOMEBODY IN ALASKA'S HOUSE! basso: Dude you are great. Thank god we had this chance to talk about opera and such. Palin: I PUT OPERA ON EBAY! basso: I love you Palin: STOP TRYING TO PLAY STUMP THE CANDIDATE!
Not saying that number is illegitimate, but you are aware they've been caught lying about their crowd numbers recently, right?
Basso you have conveniently left out the fact that the Decemberists played a free show before Palin came out.
it's not their estimate, and in any case, you could say the same about obama's berlin speech. the 200k number was not any sort of official number.
Again, I'm not saying the number is wrong... but they have claimed numbers that were inflated and falsely attributed them to officials... including one in the above story to a fire marshall who then said he doesn't do outdoor estimates.
You missed this paragraph... I'm guessing this is a misprint... it would take a polka band to draw that many old Repubs.
