As the campaign season winds down Team Obama's collapse is making partisan fans in The People's Republic of Chicago wax nostalgic for the ‘69 Cubs. Ticket sales are down and even blocks reserved for corporate and union sponsors are not bringing people through the turnstiles. The MSM is doing their best to promote their fading star and cameras are no longer panning the crowd for fear of causing panic as the empty seats continue to multiply.

During Team Obama's recent road trip to New York's Roosevelt Hotel Ballroom, Gail Sheehy at The Daily Beast (not to be confused with the Beast named Daley) observed.

Who would have thought that six weeks before a cliffhanger election, President Obama would have to reach down to the D list to fill a room to listen to him? Most of us low rollers arrived early to see President up close and personal. Our tickets for the general reception at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York were only $100. Some thought the email invitation was a joke. Some bought tickets for $50 from their desperate Democrat committeeman. Some bought the same day.

Only after I received four email invitations and two personal calls imploring me to come did I call Speaker Pelosi's office to check the admission price. "You mean, to be in the room with the President of the United States is now on fire sale for $100?"

"Yup."

"How long do we get?"

"Half hour."

"How many $100 givers have rsvp'd?"

"Mmmm 250."

"Do we need to line up early to get in?"

"That's not necessary. Everybody will get in."

And everybody did-450 people in a room that holds 650. Even Obama's fire sale didn't sell out.
