Seems the largest so far was about 1500, but I'm curious about The Villages stop. She did get a good crowd there, tens of thousands (good even without the Fox News HyperInflation Crowd Count Software). I heard The Villages crowd was only around 500. Wow, that hoot of guy, Glenn Beck did get a bigger crowd, I am also curious about tomorrow's signing. I will swear I heard on a local newsclip that the Hasting's bookstore just got it's order - 2000 copies. Seems a bit much to me is all. Lastly, that crack when she got off the plane, something like 'I don't know why politicians, especially the ones higher up, don't go to the small towns because that's where the voters are and the small businesses that are the backbone of America". 3 am snark/on I just wanted to scream into my television, "Sarah, when you are the one actually running the campaign and you only have so much money to spend, you'll find out why people don't go to places like .... MIchigan, when it is already a lost cause. But hey, you're the roguey maverick, you just spend, spend, spend, being that fiscal conservative you are to make sure all the small town people hear your message (gotta hot flash for you Sarah - they have TV, radio and internet and Facebook in the the Lower 48 ... and Hawaii too!)" 3 am snark/off Anybody have accurate stats on # of people showing up for SP’s magical Misinformation Tour?

When she heard thousands had queued up to get copies of her new album signed, she ordered pizza for them all! Since more people showed up to get an autograph from Lady Gaga than you-know-who, I think that means she is qualified to be President? Just sayin'. Plus, she bought them pizza!!!!
