Twenty thousand?? LOL! We had more than that in the Verizon Center before the march! And all the overflow Masses were full, too!
There were, as there have been for some years, hundreds of thousands of folks at the march. How many hundreds of thousands? I don't know. But I was near the back of the march this year (argh) and when I got up to the top of Constitution Avenue and looked back, the avenue was still filled as far as I could see. I'd estimate there were a hundred thousand folks BEHIND me. No idea how many in front of me.

Sad they keep employing certain people. The catholic review also employed a guy that gave “the golden compass” high praise.
