"I want large crowds to turn out to his speeches so that he'll be perceived as more popular, which seems to be working in his favor so far."
Why wold anyone want that? The only thing the left has right is Gay Rights, Gay Marriage, Abortion and a few other personal decision issues. There is a lot more to running this country then that.
As for the security (which had a great deal to do with all the waiting you did), there is no way you are going to get rid of that. Especially with this candidate.
Politics aside, Sen. Obama is a very high risk candidate. (Sad that, I used to think we were past that in this country.) There is no way the Secret Service is going to loosen anything to do with him.
Think of it like the coyote and road runner. The road runner has to win every time. The coyote only has to win once.
I do not fault any security measures the Secret Service takes. I go out of my way to accommodate them each and every time I work with them. They are not only protecting the candidate, but they are quite possibly protecting everyone attending the event and even me outside in the satellite truck.
