Wall Street Willie Can't Draw A Crowd

Willard Mitt Romney (aka Wall Street Willie) and his deluded handlers just knew that massive amounts of people would flock to see him give his big speech on the economy. They decided they had to get a huge stadium to hold all of those people. But as it started to become apparent that they could never fill the stadium, they revised their plans. They decided they would put the people at one end of the stadium (from the 30 yard line around to the other 30 yard line), and with cameras placed behind Wall Street Willie it would give the appearance of a full stadium.

But even that vastly scaled-down plan proved to be nothing more than wishful thinking. Only maybe 1200 people bothered to show up to hear him, and seating that pitiful turnout in the stands would make them look like even less than that. They would up concentrating them all together on the stadium floor. But the news media shot the entire stadium anyway. That had to be embarrassing for Wall Street Willie -- that he couldn't even draw a decent crowd in the state where he was born and grew up (Michigan).

That doesn't necessarily mean he can't win the Michigan Republican primary. He might. Several recent polls have shown him neck-and-neck with Rick Santorum in that state and either one could conceivably come out on top -- depending on who turns out to vote. But his inability to draw a crowd probably does show he would have a lot of trouble competing with President Obama in Michigan (assuming he can win the Republican nomination -- which is still in doubt).

And here are a couple of new polls to worry Wall Street Willie even more. One shows the race in Arizona tightening, and the other shows him far behind in Georgia:
