60-70,000 is a flat out lie. I was there.

More or less? I'm GUESSING 200K...maybe a few more.

We can't fall for the trap of overstimating and then have the MSM prove we're worng. Better to undersetimate.

Several hundred thousand. The “march” photo is the best one I've seen, and even that one doesn't show the full length of the people marching. Once you get to the Capitol, people were spilling over into other areas because there was another event going on, on the mall. Even with that, people were taking up some space on the mall, just not where the other group had their tents, etc. You can't compare Obama’s inauguration photo of the mall to today's rally simply because we weren't able to take up all of the mall area. There were people behind, to the side of the Capitol building due to lack of space that I haven't seen in a photo as yet. I see no benefit whatsoever to exaggerate the numbers. All I can do is give you my best estimate and having been in several venues where 60-70,000 were in attendance, I feel more than confident in saying that is no where close to the number of people there.

I was close enough to see the speakers (ant-sized) and video screens (pinky-nail-sized), and there were probably that many people just between me and the Capitol building.

If, as they say, the crowd spilled all the way back to the Washington Monument, then it was *easily* over 1 million, at least.

I would love to see an aerial picture taken around 2:00pm. But I saw only two helicopters fly overhead during the five hours (11:00am-4:00pm) I was there.
