Nashua Numbers


Weird. Christina Bellantoni of the Washington Times says Clinton had more attend her Nashua event than Obama’s (though she says a bunch were shipped in from out of the state) but Dickerson says Obama had more.

Bellantoni:

Reporters who walked into this Nashua high school today were immediately struck by the crowd — there are visibly more people here for Sen. Hillary Clinton than were here for Sen. Barack Obama yesterday in the same location.

Dickerson:

Clinton was speaking at the same Nashua school Barack Obama packed the day before. It looked like her advanced team didn’t think she’d be able to fill the venue. An enormous flag blocked rows of seats so that they wouldn’t sit empty. The crowd could have filled that space but attendance still wasn’t as large as Obama’s the day before. The overflow room was also much more sparsely populated. How much does this matter? When I emailed a senior Obama staffer to get reaction to Clinton’s attack on his boss he responded “How many people does she have?”

Facts are funny things.
