Just like a Sam Goldwin Technicolor 1890s period piece, in which the appropriately costumed actresses wore 1940s makeup, this guy represents a creative interpretation of 1969. Gotta hand it to him! Just hope his peace "NO" gladiator shield didn't double as a frisbee.
The DUers go to great lengths to prove this rally was better attended than 8/28 - using CBS' figure of 87,000, when we know it was around 800,000. LOL! (And most people, including Sarah Palin stayed for the whole program.) They go all out to compare the attendance figures of both rallies since attendance is one of the important benchmarks of their success.
One DUer tries to give an accurate accounting:
...So CBS says Beck got approx 87,000. From what I could tell, and comparing what I could see from the video of this crowd compared with Beck's crowd, I would have to say Beck's rally was considerably bigger. My guess is that this rally had around half the attendance of the Beck rally - so around 43,500. Round up and say 45K. 45K is not bad at all. Considering the months and months of promotion Beck's rally got and all the money poured in to get their people out compared with how little promotion our rally got, and I think the turnout wasn't bad....
And from another DUer:
Preliminary satellite estimates put the crowd size at 175,000 to 200,000 at about noon EST
We have yet to hear from the Martian rovers.
All of this is whetting the appetite for election night. I plan to carefully monitor DU as the results roll in. I predict THAT'S going to be one big night of wailing and tears, which will be extremely enjoyable for us. heh heh.
