"You've started a rally?" Tommy eyed the other man skeptically. "You give off the vibe that even talking to strangers makes you uncomfortable; I highly doubt you have that kind of persuasive power. How many people attended your rally?"
"If you count everyone, maybe more than seventy?"
Tommy was taken aback by the number. It was already a significant crowd, considering that many candidates in small districts would be thrilled to have fifty supporters who would rather attend a rally than go to work. It demonstrated a very strong base of support, especially since those fifty people had families.
It was no wonder the shy-speaking man before him had the confidence to run for office—he had clearly managed to rally more than seventy people.
