Too bad the MSM isn’t in charge of estimating. The numbers would be in the millions already.
I actually believe the MSM would want to suppress the numbers in this particular case of those mean-spirited, evil right-wing extremisms coming out in full force today.
My husband was at the Downtown Chicago rally at the Federal Building Plaza - 10,000 was the estimated number reported on NBC-TV Channel 5 Chicago tonight. He concurs. Said it was "a standing room only CRUSH" which is amazing considering it is truly in Obama's playing ground.
I was at the tea party being held in Lisle IL (western suburb of Chicago) - my estimate at 2:30pm today was 1500 - 2000 (I was able to get up on a picnic table at the public park and survey the crowd).
