Tea party Prediction
There will be 'tea parties' today, dozens of them scattered around the nation. They will be poorly attended. However, whichever one of them draws the largest crowd, that is the one you will see on every television news show tonight, and for the next 3 days. You won't see the ones with 6 people, and 16 teeth between them.

1. Yep, largest gathering, rounded up and multiplied by however many cities are participating
Take that number, double it and report it with great fanfare.

However, I'm guessing the Ron Paul people will ruin most of Faux's on-site footage. :)

In the conservative forum at a site I go to (I host in the progressive area) have already bailed. Too much school, kid is sick, work. They are all gung ho on watching it unfold on tv and online though :rofl:

6. Gawkers Galore...
First...I suspect the GOOP operatives loaded up busses with paid stooges...the same they use to beef up campaign rallies...to make it seem like there are real bodies out there.

Then there will be the mediatypes...this astroturfed event is a magnet for the cameras and the local news crews...dozens of minicams taking shots of the other minicams and the crowds gathering around to watch all the dogs and ponies.

8. That's exactly what'll happen
I've seen this stuff work. Of course, they tell the paid stooge not to say anything to the media about being paid. And to keep that paid stooge from double-crossing them they'll tell the person "jot down your address....as there's a good chance we'll be sending you some more money in about 60 days." Of course, the organization has no intentions of sending the extra money in 60 days. They just use that line to put into the person's head to keep them quiet. All they have to do is find enough unemployed people that would be willing to do this.

7. And the freepers et al will say "We have jobs so we can't protest like those
hippie liberals because we are hard working Americans."

10. Agree. They have been very organized here.
My wife has received emails and requests to attend. She works at the capital when they are in session, and knows all of the wackos.

She also works with a few people are planning on attending.
