Marco Rubio met an adoring crowd Monday as he traveled through Hernando County asking supporters to get the word out to vote so that they might reclaim America. Speaking before a crowd of more than 100 devotees at the Timber Pines Lodge, Rubio spent little time on individual issues and made clear he was visiting [...]
Scandal-plagued congressional candidate David Rivera continues lying about his attempt to hide from voters a serious domestic violence charge.

An experienced crowd counter weighs in on how many people were at Glenn Beck’s rally in Washington, D.C. “My estimate is that about 80,000 people were at the rally.
