is actually GOOD NEWS.

They did not get that many people and they were not that excited, or fed red meat. It might prove to be the HIGH POINT.

We'll see, but I think we are going to see this rally as a turning point when all is said and done. The point where they did ovder reach and could not get that many people in. No matter what Beck says. 300,000 was not the number. It was 87K according to CBS and from the aerials I'd say 50K best case. This IS good news...

They were not able to get a good showing as it were... and the anger was not as visible as last years in the summer.

And I do hope I am right on this, and the Koch brothers cannot really continue to influence, or rather are sent into the edges where they belong after November, with the rest of the Whigs... err John Birchers, err Tea Partiers.
