Title: Palin Clearwater rally crowd police estimate: 4,500, GOP says 20,000
Post by: 240 is Back on October 07, 2008, 07:10:43 AM: Clearwater police tally up the numbers: Two people ejected, nobody arrested. Five reports of heat-related medical issues, none serious. They estimate the crowd at 4,500, though local GOP officials say there were more.

MyFox Tampa Bay headline?

Palin rally brings 20,000 to Clearwater

Republican Party officials say they have distributed 20,000 free tickets to today's event.

The auditorium holds 7100. Maybe 1000 standing, local channels estimated.

I watched the live feed all day on local tv - the parking lots were pretty empty when she spoke.

Where were the 11,000 missing people?
