Beautiful day for a rally here in DC.
Getting ready to join the crowds on the Metro in a few minutes. A beautiful autumn day, to be sure.

I guess the rally permit is for 60,000, and I'm sure that will be topped. Official estimates for Beck's rally were about 80,000 to 90,000. Of course, Fox and its wingnut talking heads estimated the crowd at about a quarter trillion.

I expect they will estimate this one at 225, 250 tops, and show the least flattering and empty parts of DC they can find, as well as every tiny piece of trash that may fall upon the Mall.

That's OK, we expect nothing else. The rest of us who are actually sentient beings will enjoy it.

I will take pictures.

3. That number seems low
I was there for the One Nation rally on October 2nd and there were 250,000 there. I would think this rally would draw even more. :shrug:
