LA TIMES MOCKS TEAM FRANKEN’S ONE PERSON CAMPAIGN EVENT
By Michael B. Brodkorb | August 10, 2008
“Al Franken is trying to turn his former fame as a comedian into the gain of one U.S. Senate seat for Democrats by upsetting incumbent Republican Sen. Norm Coleman in Minnesota.
But he probably didn’t intend his town hall meeting on veterans issues yesterday to turn into the joke.
Only one person showed up.
Ouch!” Source: Los Angeles Times, August 9, 2008

If Al can’t draw a crowd on his own, maybe he ought to debate Lord Faris. I am sure they would get state-wide attention. He ought to have taken Mike Hatch’s advice. Primaries are good for everyone. Had he listened he wouldn’t today be a national joke. Wonder when Schumer pulls the plug on the national money. It is hardly fair to other candidates around the country who could use this money productively. And hardly fair to people who entrust this money to Schumer and the DSCC.

Again, the drawing a crowd argument is stupid. Have you people all given up on McCain since he hasn’t even drawn crowd 1/10th the size Obama seems to draw every appearance?

Angry Al’s disasterous St. Cloud event is the political equivilent of a movie that tanks on opening weekend. What an embarrassment. The DFL has no one to blame but itself for annointing this pathetic candidate.

“What an embarrassment.”
This is really ridiculous. It was a single campaign event in the middle of the weak at the beginning of August. Who cares how many people showed up?
Are you people so forgetful that you don’t remember McCain showing up to a single person in New Hampshire. He’s a freaking presidential candidate.

“Have you people all given up on McCain since he hasn’t even drawn crowd 1/10th the size Obama seems to draw every appearance?”
And yet McCain is tied with Obama, and slightly ahead in some polls. Whereas Franken lags by 10 or more points in most polls.
Huh.

Thank you for proving my point. The amount of people who show up at an event in August has nothing to do with polls or the ultimate election result.
