Please post your updates from D.C. and from news reports here as well as your photos of the day.

Our Walter Reed salute to the troops last night was very well attended. Upwards of 800 people were there over the three-plus hours of the demonstration.

Photos and video taken by This Ain'tHell taken in daylight before the bulk of the crowd showed can be viewed here.

Wall Street Journal - Thousands of people marched in downtown Washington Saturday

What's up with the PAST TENSE vocabulary? thousands gathered & marched? Quite premature!

Nevermind the low-ball crowd estimates from the ostrich media. Wait for Glenn Beck to give the estimate from his own ethical mouth!

I’m hearing from serveral sources 1.2 million. I think Pelosi was floating the 2 million number so she could say it was a failure, she’ll be eating her hat.

“Mike Pence — “unexpected crowd””

Based on the crowd noise in the background, which made hearing Dawn difficult for me, the participants did not view 1.5 million as a “failure to meet expectations”. I would urge journalists who wish to retain their reputations not rely on the Democrats 2 million estimate as a false goalpost of success.

UPDATE: Doing a bit of math, since 2 million is double for those who attended Obama’s inauguration about 9 months ago, that means 500,000 more Americans are protesting his administration than who came to celebrate its start. No wonder he flew to Minnesota today — no reason to be distracted by the “little people”.

No matter the size, how much effect do you think this may have?

That depends mostly on what the attendees do after they return home.

Fox doen’t have the budget to do aerial shots. The best they can do is from the top of their camera truck.
