A friend was helping at a John McCain event in a very republican area, Bucks County Pennsylvania. The event was held at a company owned by a big bucks Republican contributor.
The event was to have been held there three weeks ago, but they couldn't even draw a crowd, so they hit the phone banks and rescheduled it for late last week. A resounding dispassionate and unexcited group of 1,000 attended. They had to turn a whopping crowd of 50 away when they ran out of "legal" room.
