I'm sure Washington used a service like this. It's nothing new.

I'm sorry if I'm stuck in literal mode right now, but you realize Washington didn't need crowds? At all? He was George Washington. Besides, no cameras back then.  =)

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

But I suspect fire-hardened sticks, flint tools, Oompa Loompa hookers or such may have been on offer, courtesy of Og the campaign manager..

That was Ooga, the second politician.  Ug ran a clean campaign - ask Terry, he was there.

C) Gives a sense of legitimacy for the candidate among their existing supporters. When they see lots of enthusiastic folks at rallies, they feel like they’re backing the right horse.

I'm sensing a bit of a disconnect here ... what a weekly newspaper column a long time ago used to call "unclear on the concept."
