Apparently New Yorkers were still hung over from last night's Super Bowl victory this afternoon. Senator Obama held a rally at the Izod Center in the Meadowlands but only 3,000 seats were filled, leaving 17,000 empty. I got shut out of an event in DC last week and there are 17,000 open seats in New York?Local officals are blaming logistics - bad weather, time of day, and difficulty in reaching the venue - for the low turnout. Though in all honesty, 3,000 people for a political event is pretty impressive. However, compared to the 20,000 people that came out in Minnesota and Delaware and 12,000 in Idaho, this feels like an intimate unplugged session.
On another note, did anyone notice Eli Manning said he was "fired up" during an interview after the big win? A subtle presidential endorsement perhaps?
