CNN did better than Fox, on more than a few points today.

The “Fox” ciron keeps saying “tens of thousands” at the bottom of the TV screen.

Also, the Fox live online feed has the audio of the 9-11 memorials, but the video of the Tea Party!

TAKE ACTION NOW - NO MORE SITTING ON THE SIDELINES
The thing we have to do now, without any hesitation, is vote out this current Congress in 2010. Then take back our Nation in 2012. If we do not mobilize ourselves and others now to do this in ways far beyond where most of us have ever engaged in political matters, we will lose this country. And have ourselves to blame.

I’m SO PROUD!

And just think how many millions are stuck on the other side of the country like me but are still there in spirit.

If I go up on my roof and look North I can tell you how many by the color of the sky.

Looks like a couple, maybe three million or so ~ do you need another estimate?

(NOTE: I'm saying that in jest because every group who comes to DC has more marchers, or more attendees, or more of this or that than everybody else. National Park Service used to estimate the crowds. But they gave up because it was too contentious. Here's the deal, 100,000 you can do a curb to curb march along one of the main parade routes ~ Independence, Constitution. 250,000 you can do that for several hours. 500,000 parade for several hours and then no one can get on the subways, and finding a parked car is not conceivable ~ folks get out after dark.

Now, for 1,000,000 people with something like 4th of July fireworks show densities you spread out beyond the main corridors including the National Mall.

For 2,000,000 a whole lot of people can't even get near your show and many will be robbed at gunpoint up near 3rd and S streets.)

More than just voting may have to be done. They need to know we are thinking and planning. A government that is out of control should be very scared of us.

I think 1.5 million is a nice, round estimate to spread to the media (as if they will listen).
