McMentum!

A few people show up to hear a grumpy old codger hold forth about onions, tax-cheating "plumbers," Metamucil.

Two days after Barack Obama drew 100,000 supporters to a rally in St. Louis, John McCain attracted about maybe 2,500 people to a field in a nearby suburb Monday.

The Arizona senator gave his standard campaign speech here in a key republican stronghold and later flew to Columbia to have lunch with a dozen or so supporters. He ended with a sparsely attended, late-afternoon rally in Belton, outside Kansas City, a republican-held suburb.

He then shook hands with some guy working on the airport tarmac before petulantly grousing to himself in the back of the Cindypills jet.

Bonus quote from the article: "In a rally that barely filled the corner of a high school football field..."

{uncontrollable giggling}
