No evidence to support this but what I remember -
Obama drew large crowds. One was very large 50,000 - 70,000.
As I recall the reporting on that crowd, it went something like;
- tens of thousands waited to hear Obama speak
- thousands were cheering
- the crowd was ecstatic
- the crowd was young and jubilant
Then contrast that with the 60,000 who showed up for Palin in Florida:
The Villages, a vast, upscale planned community [CODE WORD FOR OLD] north of Orlando, has about 70,000 mostly adult residents -- many of them military retirees ...
Hmmm.
