Diminishing Returns?

I noticed this weekend that on a gloomy Saturday in Carson, CA the crowd that turned up to hear Sarah Palin spew her perky talking points was estimated at about 8,000 people. Now, that's a big crowd where I come from in the Midwest. But in the ultra-conservative Carson area and the heavily-populated surrounding area (where there is a great IKEA and Chili's... no lie) that is surely not a big crowd, especially on a not-sunny Saturday.

And now this from Politico.com: The McCain campaign says they won't release crowd counts any more... (which is funny because as I've posted earlier all of McCain camp's early bigtime numbers were total lies).

A Florida paper puts the crowd size at today's Palin rally at 4,500.

Maybe it's just more fun to watch her on Saturday Nights?
