Hillary’s house only half-full

I’m finally catching up on the weekend’s political activities and was curious for a better report on Hillary Clinton’s Cleveland visit. I read over the weekend that the hall was only half full and then saw this today. Can someone who actually attended the event give me confirmation that this from WTAM’s Bob Frantz as reported by the PD’s Kevin O’Brien today is correct:

Once you take away the high school performers who entertained for two hours before the Big H’s speech, and those kids’ parents and grandparents, who were there to watch their prides and joys, he figured between 100 and 200 people were there actually to see the candidate. And that number was augmented by a parade of about 50 local dignitaries who came in with the candidate’s entourage.

Compare that to the throngs of folks who turned out for the Obama event and it’s obvious that Team Hillary’s got some problems here in Cleveland (especially since Stephanie Tubbs-Jones is one of her national campaign co-chairs).
