…during a campaign appearance:

“I was going to give a few remarks on the people who were over here a week ago Saturday,” Reid said in a video posted by Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren, “but I couldn’t find it written all over my hands.

“You betcha,” Reid added to supporters’ laughter, mimicking one of Palin’s trademark slogans.

Did you write that one yourself Sen Reid?

Tell me Harry, how many people did you draw? Stacy McCain puts the number at 100 and points out:

the Hopeless Harry Tour continued on to Las Vegas, where Reid reportedly drew about 1,000 “hard-core Democrats” — at least 2,000 less than the attendance at Ann Coulter’s Vegas speech at the Henderson Pavillion (fixed seating for 2,400, plus lawn seating for up to 1,500).

It’s seems like a giant kabuki theatre, he whistles while his opponents cross the 50% mark in the polls.

I understand that in an election you have to paint an optimistic picture but eventually you just look like a fool. I think we’ve passed the eventually point.

Maybe he needs a fedora?

…but Stacy has a lot more photos of CNN’s “Dozens” of people who attended the event in Searchlight NV over at his site with the promise of more to come.

That’s the second of my fedora’s that have gotten that close to Sarah Palin.

Update: That didn’t take long for the more to come did it?

Castro supporting media underestimating crowds of protests against Cuba.

CNN underestimating crowd at Sarah Palin event, where people are protesting Obama & Harry Reid.

If you want to see what is actually happening try Robert Stacy, or Nice Deb or Hotair. These are people I’ve met personally and I’ll vouch for their trustworthiness myself.

Update: Nice Deb links back and includes some pictures. Well technically it dozens is correct, there were hundreds or thousands of dozens.

he tells me that he is doing fine and my Fedora is doing even better. He gives the Axis of Fedora props for a run of luck at the Roulette Table he had.

He was on his way trying to find Searchlight site of the Tea Party event today, due to a previous engagement I was unable to join him out west and he had some trouble navigating without me at the wheel next to him (or it could be that he was on the phone with me when he missed the turnoff) but apparently in the end he found the fabled land of searchlight aided no doubt by the long line of cars heading through the desert going to the same spot.

Even before his current report hit the Blog I found out that he would have to hightail it back to grab Ali from the airport who is still finding Gems like this in Obamacare:

Obama’s #hcr insurance mandate did NOT eliminate pre-existing conditions in all insurance. Call any airline ticket insurer.

I don’t know how familiar Ali is with trying to wake Stacy up early in the morning but that drive back to Searchlight is going to be very interesting.

There were already people camping out, Stacy being Stacy took the time to talk with the people there. It remains to be seen if they will draw the 4,000 or 10,000 but if my experience with Palin in NH is any indication it will be VERY large.

My question is will the SEIU stewards pull the “You’d better show up to counter protest or don’t be looking for jobs” bit to gin up counter protests. I remember in NH how organized the opposition to the Governor was as opposed to the grass roots nature of the people waiting to see her. Will they be organized and intimidating enough to get folks there so the media can say they existed or will it be too long a haul for them? If they do show up I suggest a quick video panning from the protesters to the crowd to see Governor Palin to illustrate the size difference and the media’s attempt to make them equivalent.

The big question is this. Can Stacy get a picture of Sarah Palin in the Fedora? Can we have her join the axis? No matter what today won’t be a lazy Saturday over at the Other McCain. I suggest frequent visits.

I can’t believe my Fedora made it to Vegas before I did.
