    My favorite crowd size story. Back in 2008 Obama did a tour of Germany before the Democratic convention. It was held in an open park and 200,000 Germans showed up. After he won the nomination, Obama delivered his acceptance speech at a 60,000 seat stadium.

    I remember a Right news source saying that Obama was losing steam because he’d managed to get 200,000 a few weeks ago and only had 60,000 at this speech.
