President Obama is reportedly speaking to half full room of supporters at a campaign fundraiser in Chicago.

CONTRAST WITH LONG LINES FOR ROMNEY-RYAN: “At Obama fundraiser in Chicago. Admission only $51, but room is half full." http://t.co/ZqCLmkEc

Contrast that with the reception Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan received in North Carolina earlier today.

“@jodikantor: At Obama fundraiser in Chi. Admission is $51, but room is half full.”
