The Onslaught in Ottumwa

There are 25,000 people who live in the town of Ottumwa in Iowa.  Ottumwa is about an hour's drive from Des Moines, the state capital and the largest city in that state.  In other words, there are plenty of people within easy driving distance of Ottumwa.  That's why it was such a shock that Old Joe Biden just drew a crowd of 98 people to his rally two days ago in Ottumwa.  That's right.  Old Joe couldn't even get 100 people to his event.  This guy is supposed to be the national front runner for the Democrat nomination, but not even 100 people came out for his rally.

The Iowa caucus is just over a month from now.  Even though the rally was the week before Christmas, if there were even marginal excitement generated by Biden, he should have drawn many thousands of people to his rally.  Certainly 500 should have been there even if Old Joe is as boring as he seems to me.  But Biden couldn't even get to 100.

There's only one conclusion that can be drawn from this tiny turnout.  At least in Iowa, no one is interested in Old Joe Biden and what he has to say.  It's just not worth the time to go to a rally to see Old Joe in person.  That bodes very poorly for Biden and his chances moving forward.
