Race/Party affiliation of Tea Party attendees

[Sheepshank]

I've seen plenty of pictures, I've heard the talk from attendees, and I make the assumption that the demographics of the attendees is similar to that at the RNC. I'd like a little something more concrete. I have searched the web and can't find anything documented that indicates the demographics of the attendees. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

1. well

out of the teabaggers mouth they say that "Glenn Beck put us up 2 it, he's the one who got us started"...Now do you really have to ask what the demographics were? In fact Beck(and his cronnies limbaugh,hannity and savage) even promoted the event through talk radio/internet at least a month before it arrived faithfully.

2. I'm asking

because on another bb....there are those that are convinced it really was nonpartisan and just a social get together from all walks of life. I have the info regarding the chicagoteaparty.com started in 2008, Fox and Beck associations and other snippets. But these others are convinced it has morphed into something bigger and more universal. I call bull, but would like to toss a little documented info in their direction.

But thanks for reminding be of those others in Becks entourage
