This is why I haven’t seen the alphabet network news in 15 years.

Although after this election, and the next, it may be worth tuning in just to see the anguish on the news reader’s faces.

There were a LOT of people there.

Honestly, numbers have been guesstimated, distorted, and exploited for political gain at rallies for so long, it’s hard to believe numbers for any event that happens where tickets aren’t scanned like at a sports arena.

If there were only 87000 people present, given the size of the crowd, than many many events in the past that have been quoted as having huge numbers were certainly overstated.

I was there and it was packed (like sardines in some places) between the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monuments. I could hear but never saw the stage as I walked the perimeter. Seemed like more people than the big one last year. My guess is 250,000 or more.

Yep, looks like 87,000 to me, to the far right within the reflecting pool treeline perhaps...

I plan to watch election night on MSNBC. I want to see how Rachel, Keith, Ed, Chris Mathews, etc. spin the bad news for Democrats that night. And if they have to report the worst, such as Democrats losing control of at least one house of Congress, I would love to see their reactions to that, as election returns come in.

Indeed, worthy of a ROTFLMAO if it weren't so blatantly pathetic.

CBS IS REMOVING COMMENTS TO THE STORY AS FAST AS THEY ARE POSTED. Been watching the comments section on the story and refreshing the browser. As soon ads a negative comment is posted it is zapped!

The counter on Glen Beck's web site showed 130,363 people watching on the Internet. Why do you expect liberals to be able to count the way they run the government.
