****
You can watch Willard’s speech in the PACKED stadium here (12:0 ET)
****
Watch how those 65,000 people can barely control their excitement in anticipation of Willard’s arrival:
And watch how they erupt when he appears – Mitt Mania!
****
Freep.com: It won’t be hard to fit 1,200 members of the Detroit Economic Club into 65,000-seat Ford Field for today’s speech by GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.
What will be hard is making it look like Romney isn’t speaking to a nearly empty stadium.
The Romney campaign and the Economic Club think they’ve solved the problem. The guests will be seated at one end of the playing surface, roughly between the end zone and the 30-yard line, while Romney will speak from a stage in front of them.

Thanks for the Mitt pic Lamh!

Good show. This could have been held in a Mickey D parking lot!
😆 Best show ever Yardarm, I wept my way through it.
Yardarm, Chips …. you folk are toooooooo much fun!!! 😀 😀
#PRESSON
TY! Also, TY for your magnificent tweets!
I love that picture of FLOTUS and POTUS.
Oh man! Mitt is going to bus folks in! A stadium Willard?
This is thrilling to watch our supporters stand up and be counted, thanking PBO for his hard work. He took so much grief for this bold decision and he is ONCE AGAIN VINDICATED.
I know! I saw the pictures and the crowd and the tweets from Ben La Bolt and began cheering!!!! The auto bailout was the right thing to do and I’m happy the UAW and the workers are standing up for PBO.
Yes WE Can … DO More Together
We Must!

This loser willard has no reason whatsoever to show up anywhere in Michigan. Period. He should be run out of town. What a joke this guy is.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!
I don’t remember PBO getting crowds like that in the last campaign, do you Hopefruit?
Oh no Chips. Definitely not! I can’t EVER imagine PBO with that kind of Mitt-Mania crowd. By the way, do you recognize that guy standing on the stage in that pic? It looks kinda like a guy I knew back in the day from Tennessee…perhaps it’s him.
Chips, how about POTUS at the Broncos Stadium (Denver) 🙂
Can’t wait to see this again in NC 2012.
Memories…so sweet! I am with you on NC 2012!
‘Afternoon, Ms. Chip
It always brings a smile to my face when I see this picture. As you well know, this was during the Campaign and was taken in downtown St. Louis (“The Lou”!!) – home of very truly y’alls. The estimated crowd that day was, at least, 100,000. A first for a political event held here. Now….what you might NOT know and this comes under the heading of the arc of our universe bending toward Justice….
See that green domed building across the waaaay over there? That is what we call The Old Courthouse. Everybody, THAT is where The Dred Scott Decision was rendered by the U.S. Supreme Court. Amongst the gems of that HORRIBLE decision were that Mr. Scott, and all who looked like him, were but three fifths human, that Mr. Scott had NO rights that the white man was bound to respect, annnnd, Mr. Scott, though he had been free, had to go back into slavery because his former master wanted him back.
And, on that glorious day in the shadow of THAT building, WHAT do we see????
Do excuse me, but I, also, tend to choke up a bit as well almost every time I see this picture. To quote our illustrious Dr. BobFR
PRESS ON!!! WE MUST!!!!!
thank you so much for that window into history! this photo deserves a moment of silence, in remembrance. and then a big smile for the man who stands for a future of justice and peace.
YESSSSSSSSSS …Blackmon…..
WE HAVE….
AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRESSSSSSSSSS ON!!!!!…PODIUM THUMP
CAUSE WE ARE NO WAYS TIRED!
Wonder if there are more protectors outside than paid attendees inside? HeeHaw! Stupid fool, he’s only fooling himself.
Thanks Chips!!! LOL!!!
And, @MittRomney is not going to escape this stunt without some scars given that it’s already getting this type of ‘Tweeterage’ (21st C ‘coverage’) 🙂 http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/02/24/how_to_make_a_stadium_look_full.html

Well, it’s the Economic Club of Detroit.
Hi maryl1. How in the hell can the Economic Club of DETROIT be friggin’ ALL white?
Interesting, isn’t it?
Interesting, phoney and CREEPY.
Probably only filled one percent of the stadium, which means he’s playing directly to the people who matter to him – the one percenters.
Wow…theo! I can’t imagine what his team must be feeling right now. Pathetic. Chips…those pic comparisons are just stunning. I mean, his team couldn’t enough crazies to push the set up out to the 50 yard line? Geez…
Yes!
now there’s a graphic just begging to be made!

Hello (hello) (hello) (hello) (hello) <—— echo from Willard's empty words bouncing around an empty stadium back to his empty head.
hahahaha – that’s a good one.
the pictures crack me up. oh, the lines for Willard. the throngs of people.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA
For Willard to be holding his event in a 65,000 capacity stadium goes under the heading: what WERE they thinking? Bet you’ll hear very little about the lack of crowd, enthusiasm from the MSM.
P.S. Thanks for the pic,, Chipsticks,: it boosted my spirits considerably.
Yes, this will be blown up by the media as an enthusiastic crowd coming to hear their hero, Mittens Romney, the Resolute! The media is completely complicit in this farce of a campaign.
By the very nature of who he was going to be talking to, it was going to be a small crowd. It wasn’t an open to the public type of thing. Doing this in a venue like this is really, really dumb, and whoever thought it up should be fired. No, let me take that back, keep that person and have him/her do more of this. Plus, how much it must be costing the campaign to even rent this place.
Actually, it was Romney himself who suggested this venue. He was supposed to have the event at another venue but changed his mind and made his team switch to a bigger avenue because he wanted to prove he could attract big crowds. So, in that estimation, Romney should fire himself. It was an EPIC fail.
Gooooooo UAW! How could you hate on workers?!?!?!? I just don’t get it. I truly don’t. Maybe my mindset is just too different to understand it. But how could you hate on your fellow American human beings working for a living?!?!?
I don’t get the war on workers (unions) either, PolitcalJunkessa…any more than I get the war on women which has now started to incorporate the war on girls (the Girl Scouts).
That’s what they’re all about…war on everything. Attack, Attack, Attack, the only thing they know how to do! They are souless bullies with no capacity for working together or compromise. They think it makes them look weak. What it makes them look like however, is exactly what they are…a bunch of out of touch, raving lunatics.
The only silver lining is that once you make everyone your enemy, you have no friends left. The GOP is busy alienating just about every constituency but the certifiably insane and the super rich. These groups are certainly noisy and powerful, but they don’t add up to a lot of votes.
Exactly Jackie…unless you’re white and rich you are deemed not American.
You don’t have to even clarify with (unions). The war on unions is a war against all workers. If they can get rid of unions they will be able to pay all workers less, give all workers less in benefits, and make sure no workers have long term security. The only thing preventing makng all workers slaves is the existence of unions.
I love seeing that empty stadium! Thanks so much for sharing this one, Ms Chips! : )))
I’ve tuned in to your link for Romney’s speech, gonna see if I can stand to listen to him. However, the intro person & the “prayer” are already getting to me.
What a treat….
Josh Earnest is handling the White House Press Corps briefing today.
my 12 yr old son is home & I’m forcing him to listen to this Romney speech.. he called the republicans a cult, jokingly tells me they probably require a blood initiation.
Romney is being introduced as “more than just a car-guy”. okie doke
wow just one lie after another.. he just lied about POTUS promising to keep employment beneath 8%… my son then says mom pause quick & tells me Romney sounds like some cheesy bad-guy in a movie.
Your son, Sherijr, is a far more astute observer than 90 percent of the pundits on tv. He’s got a bright future.
he has his moments thats for sure… and I kinda think the pundits are all just silly people who want to be famous & rich.
I turned Romney off, literally everything he was saying was bs.. when he’s not lying – he seems to be running around in circles not really making sense. Of the many problems w/ these repubs is their ability to say stuff w/o ever giving the full info.. set up to fear monger and confuse folks. Anyone vulnerable, due to age, income, education would be frightened by their bs.. and then of course they set themselves up as the crusader, the hero coming to save folks. Its all so wrong.
thank you for your service sherijr. Here’s some brain bleach:
thank you Alice… too lovely 🙂
…And why did he choose a 65000 seat stadium again???! Were Dog Kennels all booked out?
LOL HOPE!!
Kennel owners know they would lose their license if they allowed him within 100 meters of their entrance 😉
#PRESSON
No, to the dog kennels. He was again trying to copy PBO when his venue should have been a Little League field. In that vein, @adamsorensen tweeted:: “Tomorrow, Mitt Romney will address the Arizona Economic Club in the Grand Canyon”. Now THAT’S funny.
Chips you need these pics too.
Wow talk about a picture saying 1000 words.
Romney’s Stadium Speech Today Dwarfed By Obama Stadium Speech In 2008
Who’s bright idea in the Romney camp was it to stage this speech in a football stadium half of which Romney never had a chance of filling!
Took the words right out of my mouth! Some moron no doubt.
Lamh, you’re a legend – I was in the middle of making a ‘poster’ but couldn’t find any good pics yet from Ford Field, the one at the link was perfect! Added the poster to the post! Thank you 😉
Thanks for the comparison pictures between PBO and Romney Chips. Just tweeted the picture. And they say we (Democrats) have an enthusiasm gap? Hahahaha.
I wish PBO would go to Detroit and fill that stadium to the brim. You see this is why I could never be a great pol like our President. He doesn’t think in petty terms like this but it sure would be priceless to see 😉
He doesn’t have to. He’s already done it. Back in 2008 http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2012/02/24/432150/romney-versus-obama-speec/
It’s Mitt Mania!
Those are members of the Detroit Economics Club. That probably is a frenzied eruption for them.
Whew! That was a close one. For a minute I didn’t think any of Romney’s corporate donors were going to show up. But there they are. Each and every one of them saying to themselves, “why did I waste my money?”
the audience is all white, mostly male. wowzer!
I looked for one person with a hint of color, dark brown, light brown, berry black; didn’t see one. Is Detroit all white? Or Blacks just not welcome there?
your guess is as good as mine miss pat. But i’d venture a guess that their club don’t cater to the union types, the melatonin enhanced type and in some cases the woman types…….. but that’s just me.
fricking piece of crap!!! ****melanin****** not melatonin—— there’s tons of that it that pesky “crowd”
They do look like a bunch of people that do need melatonin to go to sleep. Just looking at them will make you sleepy.,,
Ooooo, I like that one: “LetRomneygobankrupt.com” Yas!

G’day TODville and to you Admiral Chipsticks. Overheard this morning on Talk Radio: The new Right Wing Jobs Plan = Vaginal Management.
I can see it now: Vaginal Management Position…Only Men need to apply!
Woooot. I could say some rather risque things about that but I won’t ’cause it’s a serious bit of business.
OMG, I just logged in and read the signs. I laughed out loud with the guy holding the flip flop sign with the flip floppers. All of the photos and videos are “priceless”. Thanks Chips for making me laugh before I have my cup of coffee. 🙂
Andrea Mitchell just did the Willard cover-up. Showed the close shot of Romney in front of his “crowd”, mentioned that he was in a 65,000 seat field, never mentioned that 99% of the stadium was empty. Ryan Lizza said something about it being difficult to fill a 65,000 seat stadium for an economic speech but still no widely available photos of the exciting event or any truth about the dismal number there.
Oh poor poor Mitt.
Oh poor Andrea Mitchell.
wow! that is crazy andrea mitchel mentioned he was in a 65,000 seat stadium but failed to mention it is nearly empty!!!!!! thank goodness for twitter and for chips to help get the real story out!
i retweeted this today from andy borowitz:
Watching cable news because you want to be informed is like going to Olive Garden because you want to live in Italy.
Andrea’s fakery will be exposed if/when Rev Al decides to showcase the real deal.
Hope you enjoy this dotster 🙂
#PRESSON
Ryan Lizza actually fed into the LIE that there are 65,000 people there?!?!
I despise Mrs. Greenspan.
I just knew it, dotster. Next the MSM will show PBO in someone’s back yard and claim “their is no excitement”, “PBO just doesn’t connect” Oh well, not only is she MSM redux but Mrs. Greenspan.
sorry, “there” not “their”.
it looks like theres more folks outside the speech- the union marchers- than inside the speech.
Whose idea was it to have this speech in a 65,000 seat stadium? You mean to tell me there is NO PLACE in Detroit to seat these people and avoid embarassment? eh, why should I care. Let him look stupid.
***Whose idea was it to have this speech in a 65,000 seat stadium?***
Mine. Worked out quite well don’t you think?
You’re a genius derbingle! 😆
Thanks Chips. For our next venue I’m thinking about the Superdome. More empty seats more humiliation.
Sounds good to me 😆
Ah! A sabateur!!!
raotflmao. 🙂
LOL…You evil genius.
Hey GoBrooklyn. It was actually Romney’s idea to have the event at a 65K seat stadium. The event was supposed to be held at a smaller venue but apparently at the last minute, Romney made his team switch the venue so he could attract and speak to a huge crowd. He wanted that picture to play out on the local news and stoke the “flame” that he has a lot of wind behind his back for the MI primary.
Sure back fired. EPIC fail.
Sure did backfire. All people are talking about is how it compares to Pres.Obama’s crowds.
Mitt Romney – Big Dummy.
I honestly believe that Mark Halperin suffers from serious bouts with the step of denial. This is rich!
http://thepage.time.com/2012/02/23/econ-101-take-2/
:-). Lol! Halperin should share whatever he is smoking! He is too sad to even be funny! 🙂
*Halperin should share whatever he is smoking*
No doubt it’s something white.
When Halperin call President Obama a dick, I stop then and then caring what he had to say.
thisssssssssssssss
Mitt Romney: “Detroit shouldn’t just be the motor city of America, it’s got to be the motor city of the entire world.”
Oh please Mittens. Pres.Obama already put out that vision of American cars being sold all over the world. Stop copying him! Too late Mitt, you said you would have sold out Detroit, let it go bankrupt. Don’t try to sugar coat that turd.
You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize they couldn’t possibly have thought they would significantly fill the stadium. Perhaps they were going for an iconic image of Mitt – son of one of Detroit’s own – standing in a stadium named for one of Detroit’s iconic automakers< (Have I used iconic enough yet?) But if so, it's backfiring big time.
That probably was their intention, but they were short-sighted in not thinking about the optics. They love negative campaigning, but they never think that others will use their same dirty tactics. And they also didn’t think about the comparisons with President Obama and his ability to fill a stadium – easily.
Whoever thought that using this stadium was a good idea will be fired. I read in one the comments that the campaign wanted a venue to hold the 1200 they invited and the other place could hold only 500. So instead of finding a place that held, say 2000, they found a stadium that held 70K…what a duffus. Also, someone said there was “no other place to hold 1200 people”…really?
That isn’t true. There are plenty of places in downtown Detroit or even the suburbs that could hold 1200 people. Cobo Hall is huge but has smaller rooms with removeable partitions to accomdate any sized group. One of the more popular locations is the Renaissance Center which unfortunately for Willard is now owned by GM.
I can’t buy him a son of Detroit. The man can’t even tell us why he loves the place. ‘The trees are the right height”? Who says that about a place they knew well in their childhood?
I agree. He hasn’t lived here since he graduated from high school, I think. He doesn’t spend time, own a vacation home, etc. Detroit obviously doesn’t mean much to him. I was thinking that’s perhaps what the campaign was thinking since the pundits are all saying ‘Romney has to win his home state’. However his father was truly a Detroit guy.
…but he’s right about the trees 😉
Comedy gold, Lorraine! What a complete and utter dick!
Too bad Lawrence is not on tonight. He has be most sarcastic dry sense of humor when he roasted flip flop. I’m sure Ed will take his turn or maybe Martin (who I’m still upset with after his interview with Michael), who is great at comprehending the rights rage.
Keith Olberman did a segment on the HBO movie ” Game Change ” last night and said this.
OLBERMANN:
I mean, the co-authors are John Heilemann. I don’t know who John Heilemann is. But Mark Halperin is a co-author. I know who that is, and I know he’s the laughingstock of the profession.

Good afternoon, lovely people of TOD. Missed you all these couple of days.
But I always love it when I have so much catching up to do on videos, and photos, and comments galore.
Thank you, Chips, for this beautiful oasis. I’ll never tire of thanking you.
Off I go to catch up.
I was just reading that too.
Ok seriously, I know I know Mark “Da Dick” Halperin is a hack, but is there anyway to find out if he is actually being paid by the Romney campaign to jerk Romney off the way he does.
“Da Dick” is trying to claim that Romney “econ 101” speech in Detroit, the one where the Romney campaign optics of not being able to fill stadium is terrible, that the local TV will all be about how “the local-boy-made-good who fancies cars speaking on the field of their beloved football stadium about his ideas for jobs and replacing Barack Obama…”
http://thepage.time.com/2012/02/23/econ-101-take-2/
That’s a direct quote! Seriously, is that guy married cause I pity the life of anybody woman or man who would be married or partnered which such as hack-tastic individual.
I know, I know, it’s Halperin, but geez with his hands so far up Romney’s ass, how can he manage to type such drivel?
Is there a way to mount a campaign to convince Time to fire the guy? His bias are so ecident it’s not funny.
“evident”. Sorry..
Love the signs… wish I could be there in solidarity!

Rick Santorum’s Attack Ad Accuses Mitt Romney of ‘Turning His Back’ On Michigan
the ad is better than the last one santorum ran
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/02/rick-santorums-attack-ad-accuses-mitt-romney-of-turning-his-back-on-michigan/
As Jovie predicted, the cable news media is doing a serious burial of CrowdFailGate Romney. They are now focusing on Syria and hardly mention Robney’s speech, which was a total fail. When they did mention the speech, CNN for example made sure to only show a close-up still photo (as close as possible without pushing Romney’s face out of the camera area). Thankfully, we have Twitter and Youtube at our disposal, so we can circumvent the dishonest Media and let people know the FACTS.
On MSNBC Alex, Andrea and Tam’ron all showed the pix and talked about the near empty field. It will be interesting to see how it plays locally in Mich. tonight. Thankfully POTUS is so far ahead of all the R’s in MI it won’t make much of a difference in Nov.
Okay I missed that – thanks for the update! I’m sure Rev Al will be talking about it tonight.
Tamron did a really good job of skewering Romney and the empty stadium. She showed multiple pictures of the vast emptiness and couldn’t stop the laughter from echoing out.
Wonderful to hear! I’m sure Martin Bashir will also highlight the spectacle. 🙂
I’m no fan of the media, but rather than being motivated to protect Romney, they are probably more focused on Syria rather than Romney’s speech right now because, you know, people are being massacred in Syria, which seems to me would be more newsworthy than some lame speech Romney made in a half-empty stadium in Detroit.
and yet they had no trouble showing the repugs re-litigating the past with all this birth control stuff. I do believe the trouble in Syria was still going on even then.
There was an idiot on with Tamryn Hall just now, and he said that he didn’t think President Obama couldn’t have filled a stadium during the primaries in 2008. Clearly, the guy was only born in 2009.
That’s gonna leave a mark!

Ann Romney Drives ‘a Couple of Cadillacs,’ Says Mitt
Wow, just wow… Romney the gaffe machine.
Besides this being obviously good for democrats, you know what makes me happy? Journalists will probably stop associating Joe Biden with “gaffes” now that Romney is becoming the poster boy for political malpractice.
I’ve always cringed when journalists are condescending when talking about Joe Biden. Joe’s supposed “gaffes” are more often than not simply a case of being too frank and plain spoken. Joe Biden is a brilliant man and a man of integrity. And he is completely in touch with the reality of ordinary americans. Joe Biden would have been a good president.
I agree 100%. This “Biden is a gaffe machine” is a bullshyte meme akin to the PBO “teleprompter” association. VP Biden is one of the most competent cabinet officials we’ve had not just in the Obama administration, but overall in recent history
