The Hypocritic Oath

So I was tooling around on the National Review website (that's right - I try to see what's happening on both sides) and found a link to an email from a Fox producer concerning some recent event turnout numbers.

This may be the first time during this campaign that McCain beat Obama at attendance since it is one of those rare occasions where they used the same facility in a matter of days.

McCain and Palin easily pulled between 10,500 and 11K at the Resch Center at their joint rally last Thursday night. Per Bonney’s reporting–it appears Obama pulled in 6K–a little more than half of the GOP rally.

I read somewhere else that Palin spoke in front of a crowd of 60,000 people in Florida today.

Mmk...let's make sure we've got all of our ducks in a row on this one.

Obama: Young + Soaring Rhetoric + Moderate Experience + Huge Crowds = Rock star, out-of-touch, celebrity phony

Palin: Young + Sassy Style + Moderate Experience + Huge Crowds = The best hope for America

Well there's the problem: Obama needs to up his sass. Give me a break! I guess it was inevitable given how much press she's been getting and how excited the reds are about their ticket, but c'mon. At least make some half-respectable attempt to be kind of consistent. You can't mock Obama for his crowds yesterday and then tout the size of your crowds today.

What am I saying? It certainly appears you can.
