They'll just call it a right-wing extremist MOB.

I'll say one thing for Obama, he's got the people's attention
like nothing for a long time. A friend of mine who is a stock broker,
told me his wealthest client voted for Obama and 2 days ago
she told him she wished she hadn't. WOW. I bet she's not alone.

Head count estimated at 1.5 million! Roads in DC are all grid locked.

Remember the million man march? It was all over the news for weeks even though they never quite made a million. Anyways, the tea party march has been over for 8+ hours now and I had to do some pretty serious digging to even find it on the internet. I did find an abc story of how there were 70 thousand people. Oh yeah, obama was up north and drew a crowd of 15 thousand, woo hoo.

Sorry, Ben.

That number was inaccurate.

And roads in DC always seem gridlocked when I've been there.

I just arrived back in Jersey from the tea party.. our group took four buses,

and this morning they had over a hundred last minute requests they couldn't get additional buses for..

not sure on the official number but it was a HUGE CROWD, and alot of fun we arrived at about 11am and Pennsylvania ave was a river of people from about 14th to the Capital.. the crowd went up several streets to the capital and then on the lawn. at one point it was from the capital lawn down Pennsylvania avenue a block, and through out the mall area..

“It’s ABC (TV, radio? Not sure.) that pegged the crowd at two million, not CNN. Official estimate is 1.5 — but those numbers always sound inflated. Settle for a million and call it a damn fine day.”

we tried to count but the darn bunch from the mall kept mixing with the porto toilet lines.. which seemed to be about a million at least in just one toilet line... and even with a block long line of toilets the line was eternally long..


I'll try to post my pics tomorrow after noon...

Here's a 39 sec time lapsed video of part of the march, from the same vantage point as the picture below.

Turns out I have friends who attended and they said 100,000 to 200,000 but not 1.5M the way one or two sources said.

Actually Pelosi was the one that started the 2M rumor.

That way they can say it was a failure.
