Ringers Lactate

David Yepsen in the Des Moines Register:

Obama's crowds in Cedar Rapids, Waterloo and Ames this weekend were huge - a couple of thousand at each stop in eastern Iowa, around 5,000 in Hilton Coliseum. (Some of them were ringers who trekked in from Illinois. They can't vote in an Iowa caucus, although being from Illinois, they'll probably figure out a way to try. Let the record show that the first question Obama took at an Iowa town meeting was from some guy from Naperville.)

Totally staged, just like Hitlery.

Import your crowd. Pre-select individuals from your area to take softball questions. Then tell the crowd what you really think of the military.
