Joe Biden in Central Florida

[HakunaMatata2]

I just received an e-mail from a relative who informed me that Joe Biden visited Ocala and the Villages yesterday. Apparently, only 3500 people showed up for the rally in Ocala and a whopping 200 in the Villages. That's a far cry from the tens of thousands that showed up for Sarah Palin when she visited the area.

Its a very red area. It doesn't surprise me at all.

Palin is the rock star of her ticket and Obama is the rock star of the other ticket. Both are making history. I would not personally kill myself to go see Biden but I'd fall over myself going to see Obama. I'd even go see Palin if I didn't have to hear her voice...

Get this - Bill Clinton came to speak in Arkansas last week and only 700 people showed up. This is the mother land for him. He can usually draw thousands and thousands just by walking by. I was shocked.

Yes, I see in the paper this morning that Biden drew a crowd of 200 here. I have to wonder why he was unannounced. Could it be he's a little uneasy about being in Red territory? I love living here!

Was he anywhere besides Jonesboro? He's not quite as popular here.

Same reason McCain drew 7,000 when he was in this area and Obama brought in 25,000.

She was "here" today.
By "here" I mean 30 minute north in the town I work in.

I didn't leave the house.

Biden was in my town today and drew 4500 people. I already voted for the Democratic ticket yesterday so no need to go see Biden today (went to an arts fair instead ). But if it had been Obama, darn right DH and I would have been there.
