The WashPost recently did some old-fashioned head-counting at Bush campaign events in Missouri and published the actual attendance vs. the hype put out by the Bush/Cheney reelection people:
• Lee's Summit: Actual attendance, 8,500. Bush count, 14,000.
• Sedalia: Actual attendance, 2,200. Bush count, 3,200.
• Columbia: Actual attendance, 8,000 to 9,000. Bush count, 14,000
The Bush/Cheney people evidently estimate crowds by means of the same voodoo that they used to estimate Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq.
