What if McCain held a town hall and nobody came?
According to a video report posted by Scranton, Pennsylvania's Times-Leader, John McCain's town hall event in Wilkes-Barre earlier today featured an underwhelming turnout -- more than half the seats were empty. About seven hundred folks showed up -- a decent sized crowd, perhaps, but it left nineeleven hundred seats empty.
Meanwhile, when Barack Obama visited Wilkes-Barre on April 1, more than two thousand people attended -- not including the line of people that were turned away by fire department officials.
Pictures below:
McCain in Wilkes-Barre (July):
700 attend, but 1,100 empty seats
Obama in Wilkes-Barre (April):
2,000+, people turned away by fire officials
