One person said 20-25,000 were there, the next article says 12,000, the next article says 10,000.
I'm sure they probably got those numbers from supporters so I'm guessing the REAL number is probably 1-2,000 people showed up!! HAH!!
Here's the articles I found:

I happened to find a few Bush supporters, one of which had been at the fire department, town hall type meeting. He said Kerry wasn't impressive and took questions from only Kerry volunteers.
Anyway, I was surprised at the turnout at the rally on a very hot and muggy day. Having said that, the word in Michigan is that turnout will decide. Kerry doesn't have a significant lead in a state Gore took by 5 in 2000.
