Hi there kiddo....My husband and I were in Sacramento for the Tea Party and when I asked one of the policemen how many he figured were there, he told us 6,000+. I think 13,000 to 25,000 is way out of line. Neil Cavuto and Michelle Malkin were there, so think I’ll go on their sites to see what they to say the numbers were...if they even do say. I think 25k is highly exaggerated though.
25K is a bit high I think for just the downtown crowd; perhaps they are counting Sacramento as a region? (some suburban towns around the city were also having their own parties)
I have someone on another thread helping me with posting some crowd shots of the downtown event which may help with the guestimating (I’m absolutely a dunce with the process) - so, hopefully they will turn up here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2229870/posts
OTOH, if it twists the jaw of some leftie to imagine 25K conservatives peacefully (gasp) assembled at the capitol steps with nary an incident, I’ll take the 25K number gladly!!
best regards, blu
