Thousands of people have already poured into Washington, D.C. for a Saturday rally organized by conservative radio and television commentator Glenn Beck.

SNIP

Although camping is illegal on the National Mall, hundreds of people are choosing to spend the night on the grassy lawn of the Mall on both sides of the Reflecting Pool. They are doing that to get a better view on Saturday. Police say, as long as people remain awake, they may stay.

(Check out the video report of the crowd and Beck's pre-rally visit to the site at the source link. In the video, the reporter says there are equally large numbers of people in the hundreds on either side of the Reflecting Pool, hence I put the campers at a thousand.)

SO LUCKY!! I wish I could be there..I will be there in spirit. Best wishes to everyone attending this amazing event

Al Sharpton comes to his senses and will join Beck on stage.

What a GREAT idea! That would be a chicken skin event if it happened.

LOL!!! Lots of nudging, arm-punching and caffeine-ingesting going on.

Sunny, 91 degrees and 50% humidity. Going to be a great day if a little warm.

I guess the racist lefties' ploy misdirecting people from the Lincoln Meorial to the FDR Memorial didn't work. Well, at least Barack Obama is getting lots of ad impressions for www.BarackObama.com from it!
