Wow. When members of the media admit the crowds are massive, you know there is momentum afoot. And that momentum, and Paul Ryan, rocked it in Minnesota yesterday.
What a terrible day not to be able to enjoy the excitement in MN politics! Sounds like the Ryan rally was amazing! We're turning #MNRED!

Indeed! Crowd estimates were between 9,000 and 10,000.

Also making an appearance? Obama’s empty chair.

Heh.

Yes. Unlike Biden supporters. Speaking of Biden, take a gander at his crowds (term used loosely) over the past couple of days.
Air is out of Obama-Biden tires. Ryan draws 10,000 in MN, Biden barely draws 1k on same day. http://t.co/g7aCZpBP

Oh, dear. Some of the bleachers didn’t even need to be opened up into seating. Bless his heart!
The crowd is starting to trickle in for Vice President Joe Biden's rally in Pueblo. I'll have more on his visit tonight pic.twitter.com/OHDB0ic2

“Trickle” is awfully generous.
Nice crowd in @LakewoodOhio for VP Biden! @OFA_OH pic.twitter.com/UCQQWpSg

Momentum? Team Romney and Ryan have it.
Update: Oh, dear. Biden flops again. Even worse, this time.
